CHALLENGE

Legacy Infrastructure No Longer Met Demands of Always-On Media Operations

The company faced growing risks from aging VMware infrastructure and legacy storage. As media demands and content volumes surged, they required a robust, always-available virtualization platform with minimal downtime. A seamless transition to a high-performance environment was critical to maintaining 24/7 operations.

SOLUTION

QSAN delivered a redundant, performance-optimized infrastructure built on a 12-node Proxmox virtualization cluster. Two QSAN XS3300 systems were deployed—one all-flash array for production workloads, and one high-capacity system for backup and disaster recovery. Both used RAID 60 for enhanced fault tolerance and were connected via iSCSI. QSAN storage solution provided a reliable, scalable foundation for critical media applications and long-term digital growth.
