Case Study: Major Weekend Comedy Show achieves rapid archive access and long-term preservation with Cloudian Object Storage

Major Weekend Comedy Show Archives Over 40 Years of Media with Cloudian Object Storage

a major weekend comedy show faced significant challenges in managing its 40+ year media archive using an outdated tape-based system. The infrastructure was unreliable, difficult to scale, and made searching for specific clips a slow, labor-intensive process. The show needed a faster, more reliable, and highly scalable archive solution to provide its post-production staff with quick access to its vast library of content, which included over 800 episodes and petabytes of data.

The show implemented a 6 petabyte Cloudian HyperStore object storage solution. This provided a highly scalable and easily searchable active archive, enabling rapid media access and eliminating the need for costly and risky tape migrations. With Cloudian, the customer achieved easier management, long-term data protection, and the ability to efficiently manage future growth in media formats and data volumes.
