Challenge

Since White Light Studio started their business, they used Areca RAID servers, macOS servers and external hard drives. As their projects, including movies and TV series, grew over the years and the storage requirements of files increased with the adoption of HD and 4K, they required a high-performance storage solution. White Light Studio were looking for larger storage space, faster transfer speed, and the ability to manage their data over their network, which would enable them to improve productivity across teams and faster editing of 4K/8K projects.

Solution

Considering price, availability, service and its easy-to-use data management software, White Light Studio chose a QNAP solution and installed multiple NAS models to meet different requirements. A TS-2477XU-RP is used for production and handles terabyte-scale data. This is a rackmount 24 bay NAS, which provides 10GbE connectivity and is expandable to 25GbE by installing a QXG-25G2SF-CX6 network card. A TS-1673U-RP 10GbE rack-mount 16-bay NAS is used to store all data from clients, and a TS-873 tower model NAS is for backing up final files.

Result

Max Tersch, COO of White Light Studio, states that network speed and overall system stability is great, and recognizes QNAP as a reliable brand for their clients and vendors. Even staff in different locations can easily access files with different devices. Max believes QNAP’s solution is also future proof for enabling 10K resolution editing.
