Case Study: Evertz achieves scalable, cloud-ready media asset management with Cloudian

Evertz - Customer Case Study

Evertz faced the challenge of scaling media storage and asset access fast enough for today’s high-volume broadcast workflows, while moving beyond tape-based archives, reducing silos across distributed sites, and supporting rapid production for live and cloud-based operations. With Cloudian’s object storage supporting its Mediator-X IP and cloud-centric CMS/MAM platform, Evertz needed a way to make assets searchable, accessible, and ready for use anywhere.

Cloudian helped Evertz build a virtualized media workflow using S3-based object storage, federated search, and policy-driven replication across sites. The solution enabled zero-downtime capacity upgrades, eliminated tape-library middleware, and provided a single repository for media components used for ingest, review, transcoding, and playout. The result was faster deployment, on-demand scaling in hours, stronger resilience, and measurable petabyte-scale storage with automatic multi-site availability and self-healing protection.
