Case Study: Yoga International streamlines video archiving and retrieval with Backblaze B2 and QNAP

Yoga International archives 16TB a week with Backblaze

Yoga International, a digital yoga and meditation content platform, faced a significant challenge managing its rapidly growing video archive. Their initial system of storing content on hundreds of pairs of external hard drives was unreliable, difficult to scale, and made finding specific files a time-consuming process. To solve this, the company's CTO sought a more robust solution and chose to implement a hybrid cloud storage system from Backblaze, utilizing its B2 Cloud Storage service.

The solution involved integrating an on-premise QNAP NAS with Backblaze B2 for off-site archiving. The vendor, Backblaze, accelerated the initial data migration using its Fireball rapid ingest tool. This hybrid approach resulted in a streamlined workflow where editors can now access any file within a few clicks. The implementation eliminated the stress of data loss from failed drives and provided a scalable, cost-effective system to manage the 16 terabytes of new content added weekly.
