A Backblaze Case Study
Everwell, a healthcare-focused digital media brand with a library of more than 600 videos (and the Everwell+Plus digital signage service), faced a growing production bottleneck as file sizes moved from 720p to 4K and more editors worked remotely. Remote teams couldn’t reliably check content into the on-site asset manager, resorted to shipping hard drives (putting raw footage at risk), and struggled with slow, disorganized workflows — so Everwell turned to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage (integrated with iconik) to solve its storage and accessibility challenges.
Everwell implemented a cloud production workflow using iconik for asset management and Backblaze B2 for primary storage, then used Backblaze’s 70TB Fireball Rapid Ingest Service to quickly migrate its archive into B2. The combined solution let iconik generate proxies and metadata while Backblaze B2 protected and made high‑res source files instantly available, enabling immediate remote ingestion, faster collaboration, elimination of on‑site servers and risky drive shipments, and the ability to scale editors on demand — all with Backblaze’s low-cost storage (.005/GB per month) and 11‑nines durability.
