T-Hub is one of India’s leading innovation hubs, supporting startups, researchers, government organizations, and enterprise partners through a dynamic ecosystem of collaboration and innovation. As its operations expanded, the organization needed to manage increasing volumes of data generated from lab research, media production, studio activities, and internal projects.
As T-Hub continued to expand its innovation programs and collaborative activities, the volume of data generated across different teams also increased. Lab research, media footage, studio production files, and internal project materials all had to be stored, accessed, and backed up on a daily basis.
However, managing these files across separate devices or isolated storage locations made daily operations less efficient. Different teams needed reliable access to shared data, while the IT team had to ensure that important files could be backed up properly without creating additional maintenance complexity.
For an organization supporting research, media production, and startup collaboration at the same time, storage was no longer just a place to keep files. T-Hub needed a centralized storage infrastructure that could support large data volumes, multi-user access, stable backup performance, and future expansion as its innovation ecosystem continued to grow.
To address these requirements, T-Hub deployed QSAN XN5 with NL-SAS drives and 10G copper connectivity. The QSAN storage system was connected to a 10G copper switch, where client machines and servers were also connected, creating a centralized storage architecture for daily data access and backup workflows.
QSAN XN5 is designed as an enterprise-level, dual-active unified storage system for SMB and mixed workload environments. It supports multiple protocols, cross-platform replication, and scale-up capabilities, making it suitable for workloads such as file sharing, backup, surveillance, and virtualization.
With built-in 10GbE connectivity and flexible host port expansion, the XN5 provides the network flexibility needed for multi-user environments and performance-demanding workloads. QSAN also highlights simplified storage management through QSM, allowing administrators to manage storage status and data services more efficiently.
With QSAN XN5, T-Hub consolidated research data, media footage, studio-generated files, and daily project materials into a centralized storage environment. Through a high-speed network environment, different teams can access shared data more efficiently, reducing scattered storage across local devices and improving overall data management.
The QSAN solution also supports stable backup operations for T-Hub’s growing daily workloads. By centralizing data on a scalable unified storage platform, the IT team can manage storage and backup tasks with less complexity, while maintaining a reliable foundation for future research, media production, and innovation projects.
