This media production company, facing a surge in data demands for a major film project, partnered with a trusted equipment vendor to implement a QSAN XS5216D FC SAN storage solution. This high-performance system, integrated with ATTO Fibre Channel host cards, provides the speed and capacity to handle the demanding workflows of eight editors and two 3D animators working with terabytes of high-resolution footage daily. The QSAN solution, known for its ease of deployment, quickly enabled the company to utilize collaborative tools like Tiger Store and Tiger Spaces, along with professional editing software like Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve. This robust infrastructure ensures the timely completion of projects, exceeding client expectations and contributing to the company’s success.
