SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. - Sept. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- NBC's coverage of the recent summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro was highlighted by a highly robust and in-house built graphics package using servers built by Aberdeen LLC, announced Moshe Ovadya, President of Aberdeen.

NBC tapped a veteran team to create the huge graphic package. The SVG (Sports Video Group) Blog recently reported that David Barton and John Schleef, on board for their sixth Olympic Games were NBC Sports' lead art directors. Their goal was to design and create a graphics package that would encapsulate the spirit not only of the games, but of the city of Rio de Janeiro as well.

"NBC created a powerful backend content management system that relied on Aberdeen servers," said Jack Tateel, COO of Aberdeen. "NBC engineering created a powerful system that could be moved to Rio and used 24/7 throughout the game."

NBC's Olympic effort was huge, creating more than 6,700 hours of programming across multiple broadcast and cable networks as well as digital platforms. That's approximately 356 hours a day of coverage for each of the 19 days of the games.

"Engineering-wise, this has been a very satisfying [Olympics]," told Phil Paully, director, graphics engineering and operations, NBC Sports and NBC Olympics in an SVG Blog post. "We are trying some new things, and they are working."

Aberdeen servers and storage equipment are frequently the choice of high profile clients such as NBC not only because of their high performance hardware solutions, but because they are one of the only firms offering fully customizable server and storage products.
