Case Study: Fortune Media saves 66% on video storage and management costs with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Fortune Media cuts video storage costs by 66% with Backblaze

Fortune Media (USA) Corp., a global media organization, faced significant challenges with its video archive after becoming an independent company. Its initial cloud storage solution was expensive, unreliable, and difficult to use, causing frequent archiving failures and requiring editors to depend on IT to retrieve files. This inefficient system hindered the company's ability to monetize its vast historical video content effectively.

The solution was to migrate over 300TB of data to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage. This move simplified the tech stack by eliminating the need for problematic archiving middleware and integrated seamlessly with Fortune's on-premises media asset management system. As a result, Backblaze provided a self-service workflow that empowered editors to manage files themselves, drastically improved reliability, and reduced storage and egress costs by approximately 66%.
