Building a scalable digital media system that supports a large number of users and stores huge amount of media content is not a trivial task.

Common technical challenges associated with building scalable digital media systems are:

Ingestion:	The system must allow end users to quickly and securely upload media objects. Metadata of the media objects needs to be ingested and synchronized with the uploaded media objects. The ingestion process must be controlled by customizable workflow.
Storage:	Storage for the media content must be reliable, secure, virtually unlimited, globally accessible and cost effective. Read/write access to media resources must be protected with right management rules.
Processing:	Scalable computing resources are required for media processing, such as format conversion, image processing, and media transcoding. The media processing must be controlled by customizable workflow. Metadata needs to be synchronized and updated for all created or modified media objects.
Serving:	The system must allow end users and client applications to quickly and securely download media content The media download process must be controlled by customizable workflow Read-access to media resources must be protected with right management rules
