- Martin Edström.
Martin Edström is a photographer, journalist and National Geographic Explorer. He has long been spearheading new ways to tell stories, using interactive formats like 360° video and virtual reality to bring important stories to people around the globe. Martin has always felt the need to bring reality closer to people, making it possible to step into someone else’s shoes for a while to truly be able to understand important issues.
As an acclaimed photographer and pioneer in immersive journalism, Martin Edström and his team are always on the move from one project to the next. Faced with tight deadlines and needing a quick turnaround for their projects, they require high-performance storage solutions that can empower their editing workflows while providing them with ample storage for the huge volumes of data created while out in the field.
On his latest project, Edström was involved in creating an ambitious immersive 360° video/virtual reality interactive story for National Geographic that would provide insight into the lives of lions in Zambia. For over a month, Edström slowly acquainted the lions with the presence of cameras while preparing for this groundbreaking project.
As if gaining the trust of lions isn't challenging enough, Edström needed to establish a small remote office in the field that would provide his team with the same functionality and storage capacity they would enjoy in a dedicated editing studio.
After consulting QNAP for storage solutions that would suit his needs for this ambitious project, Martin Edström chose the TVS-882T for office use, and the TS-251A for use in the field. The TVS-882T is a high-performance Thunderbolt™ 2 NAS powered by an Intel® Core™ i5 quad-core processor that provides tremendous speed for multimedia projects, whereas the TS-251A, featuring an Intel® Celeron® dual-core processor, is a smaller, energy-efficient NAS that packs enough power for excellent file transfer performance and provides convenient USB QuickAccess for easy file transfer and backup.
Both the TS-251A and TVS-882T provide class-leading file transfer speeds, allowing the quick transfer and backing up of files through a convenient web interface.
Edström and his team work on three laptops in the field, and the TS-251A made it incredibly easy to simultaneously synchronize and backup files from these laptops for convenient access and editing needs.
The TS-251A has a lightning-fast USB QuickAccess port, which made it easy for Edström to quickly transfer files between the NAS and computers without Internet connectivity.
Requiring less than 20W to operate, the TS-251A provided Edström with a dependable storage solution out in the field, where electricity is hard to come by.
Relocating a file server in an office is hard enough, let alone expecting to take one out into the field. The TS-251A packs its performance into a tiny frame - not much larger than an external hard drive - allowing Edström to comfortably carry up to 20TB of storage (using 10TB hard drives) wherever his work may take him.
With an Intel® Core™ i5 processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, SSD caching and Thunderbolt™ 2 connectivity, the TVS-882T is a truly exceptional storage solution that provides Edström with over 200 MB/s file transfer speeds for saving hours of precious time during their editing and production workflows.
Martin Edström found that bringing a TS-251A onto the field was like taking the office with him. His team could easily conduct their work as normal on the TS-251A and then directly connect it to the TVS-882T once they returned home. This would seamlessly transfer all of their work to the TVS-882T for taking advantage of its high performance for further editing and production workflows. This provided Edström with a complete solution for networked storage and file synchronization with incredible storage, performance, and connectivity wherever his projects may take him.
