Case Study: Crisp Video Group scales video archiving and cuts storage costs with Backblaze B2

Crisp Video grows 1,158% and scales to 500TB with Backblaze

Crisp Video Group, a creative agency specializing in video production for law firms, faced a challenge when its 50TB production server reached maximum capacity. Director of Production Michael McMullan needed a new server integrated with a reliable and affordable cloud storage solution for automated backups and easy access to archived client footage. Their previous solution using legacy Amazon S3 storage had failed, leaving backups non-functional for over 100 days.

The agency implemented a solution using Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage alongside a new Studio Network Solutions production server and qBackup software. This provided a cost-effective, scalable, and "set it and forget it" backup system. As a result, Crisp Video Group grew its business by 1,158% over three years while its data archive expanded 10x to 500TB. Backblaze helped keep storage costs low and ensured all client footage remained secure and easily accessible, enabling the agency to retain clients longer by preserving all historical content.
