Lincoln Center deploys Isilon tech to store, streamline digital signage content

June 16, 2010

Seattle-based Isilon today announced that the Lincoln Center performing arts center has deployed its scale-out NAS as the primary storage repository for its new digital signage and advertising initiative.

Using Isilon's NL-Series, the Lincoln Center unified a wide range of digital content and file-based data onto a single, easy-to-use, shared storage resource, streamlining content access and delivery to multiple LED and LCD signage displays throughout New York City, according to a company release. With the Isilon system, the center's Inmagic Presto asset management system can immediately and reliably access, catalog and distribute content, enabling easy management and updating of its digital advertising and box office signage displays across its multiple properties.

"As part of our initiatives to modernize and reinforce the vitality of Lincoln Center, we initiated a new digital signage project designed to inform and educate our patrons and visitors for years to come," Lincoln Center CTO Rob Tarleton said. "However, we didn't have a storage solution capable of centralizing our content to make management, distribution and delivery seamless and cost-effective. Lincoln Center chose Isilon to provide us with this capability."

As part of the transformation of its 16-acre, 26 performance venue campus, Lincoln Center recently started a next-generation digital signage project utilizing LED and LCD screens at different box offices, venues and outdoor locations throughout its properties in New York City.
