Case Study: MSM Studios accelerates 4K editing and archiving with Archiware P5 and Starline

Integrated solution from Starline and Archiware accelerates MSM Studios' workflow

msm-studios, a Munich-based mastering and post-production studio group, needed more performance and capacity for 4K and higher video editing, flexible archiving on LTO tape, and dependable service while continuing to use Archiware P5. Their production workflow spans audio, video, grading, authoring, and long-term preservation of important projects.

Archiware P5, delivered with a Starline all-in-one FreeNAS system with integrated LTO drive, provided backup to disk, tape, and cloud plus long-term archive on LTO. The solution streamlined cabling and saved server and rack space, while supporting daily backups and long-term retention; msm-studios has used Archiware for 15 years and written hundreds of LTO tapes, with P5 Archive helping them quickly find and restore earlier productions.
