Zadara Storage, the provider of enterprise-class
storage-as-a-service (STaaS) and
BASE Media Cloud today announced that
MAKE TV
has leveraged the Zadara Storage Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA)
to support their stringent video production needs during the prestigious
McLaren Autosport BRDC Award.
Producing the annual McLaren Autosport BRDC Award for Haymarket
Publishing's Autosport magazine meant MAKE TV needed to implement high
performance workflows to streamline their media storage and global file
distribution for a series of high-quality big screen event films. As a
true pay-per-use solution, BASE Media Cloud provided an enterprise grade
cloud service for MAKE TV, which would have cost hundreds of thousands
of dollars to implement themselves, for just a fraction of the cost,
while also staying in line with the project's budget structure.
BASE Media Cloud was able to leverage the Zadara Storage Cloud
Architecture and Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA) to provide a
comprehensive solution to their valued customer MAKE TV. Key markets
such as media and entertainment have requirements that align well with
Zadara's Enterprise Storage as a Service (STaaS) solution. The need for
high-performance storage that can be shared globally, in a highly secure
and reliable solution, can be easily resolved with the Zadara
architecture. Additionally, the project-based nature of the media and
entertainment market make the Zadara Storage as-a-service OpEx business
model very attractive. Users only need to pay for the storage they use
and when the project or event is concluded, they can release the
capacity they no longer need and only pay for what is needed.
"Being able to have a single place for storing and sharing large
files during post-production was a huge benefit", said Theo Cowen, lead
editor for MAKE TV. "We only have standard domestic broadband at our
suites, but the speed of download was fantastic and far faster than
other services we've used in the past."
"Zadara Storage has been an outstanding business partner", said Ben
Foakes, managing director for BASE Media Cloud. "Their technology is
second to none and their business model aligns perfectly with our
needs."
"MAKE TV's requirements are a perfect fit for the BASE Media Cloud
solution, built around Zadara Storage", said Dani Naor, vice president,
international sales, at Zadara Storage. "The flexibility of our OpEx,
pay-as-you-go storage gives BASE Media Cloud the ability to support MAKE
TV's project-based business needs, while the enterprise-class features
provide them the performance, security and high-availability needed to
protect their critical assets."
