Case Study: Barkley achieves real-time 4K–8K video editing and sub-5-minute RPO/RTO with Dell Technologies

Driving brand innovation from the data center enables creative idea company to claim the future

Barkley, a 50‑year‑old creative agency, faced an aging, fragmented data center that hindered client delivery, team productivity, growth and sustainability goals. To modernize, Barkley partnered with Dell Technologies and deployed solutions including Dell PowerScale, Dell VxRail and Dell PowerScale Cyber Protection to replace disparate legacy systems with a unified, secure infrastructure.

Dell Technologies delivered a turnkey rebuild—PowerScale scale‑out storage, VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure, and cyber protection—enabling real‑time 4K–8K video scrubbing, secure global access, and hybrid VDI workflows. The modernization shrank Barkley’s RPO and RTO from 30 days to under 5 minutes, scaled operations across multiple cities, accelerated production and helped reduce energy use to support the company’s B Corp sustainability goals.
