Solution
DeltaVision approached QNAP and chose the TVS-1282T3 (a high-performance Thunderbolt™ 3 NAS) and the QSW-1208-8C 10GbE switch. By pairing their TVS-1282T3 with the QSW-1208-8C, DeltaVision would immediately benefit from accelerated media editing speeds. With four Thunderbolt™ 3 ports and two 10GBase-T network ports, users can directly edit high-resolution media files (even 8K videos) stored on the TVS-1282T3 without needing to transfer the files to their workstation. Featuring four SSD slots, TVS-1282T enables cache acceleration which produces the best performance for editing high resolution data. The centralized storage provided by the TVS-1282T3 can also be accessed by multiple Windows and Mac workstations, allowing for greatly streamlined multi-user workflow processes.
Result
By pairing a high-performance QNAP NAS and QNAP switch, DeltaVision immediately benefitted from high-performance centralized storage that can be securely accessed by workers and clients. Setting up and maintaining the QNAP NAS was also easy and user-friendly due to QTS – the QNAP NAS operating system – which guides users through every step of the setup process and simplifies file management. DeltaVision also took advantage of QNAP’s wide range of productivity-boosting apps to enhance their organizational performance. With Qsync, a cross device file sync utility, DeltaVision can easily sync their most-recent files between computers and remote users' workstations. The Qfile companion mobile app also allows users to remotely access and share content with clients at any time while always being in sync with the NAS.
