Case Study: Nice Shoes achieves faster, more collaborative media production with DDN
A DDN Case Study
Nice Shoes - Customer Case Study
NICE SHOES, a NYC-based artist-driven design, animation, visual effects, and color grading studio, needed to replace its traditional storage platform to support a 24/7 collaborative workflow, manage growing HD/2K/4K file sizes, and reduce delays, downtime, and the complexity of multiple storage systems. The studio turned to DDN and its high-performance file storage system to better support real-time work across demanding media production projects.
DDN implemented a centralized, clustered storage solution for NICE SHOES that provided concurrent access, frame-accurate quality of service, and scalable performance for 2K and 4K storage. The result was faster production workflows, easier file sharing, less manual intervention, reduced maintenance time and cost, a smaller storage footprint, and higher uptime—helping NICE SHOES save time and money while improving productivity.
