Case Study: Rain achieves scalable high-performance post-production with Huawei OceanStor N8300

The OceanStor N8300 Creatively Grows Business

Rain, a boutique post-production house in London’s Soho media district, needed a high-performance, future-ready storage infrastructure for its new office to support demanding film, TV, broadcast, and corporate production work. The company was looking for a scalable, reliable solution that could meet high quality standards, minimize reinvestment as it grew, and provide responsive technical support. Huawei provided the OceanStor N8300 storage solution from the OceanStor N8000 series to address these needs.

Huawei implemented an OceanStor N8300 NAS solution with 50 TB of usable storage and Dynamic Storage Tiering to optimize performance and control costs by moving data across FC, SAS, SATA, and SSD tiers as needed. The result was a state-of-the-art IT environment that supported Rain’s varied high-end work, improved delivery performance, and helped the company win work for clients including Discovery Channel, the BBC, and ITV. Rain also benefited from Huawei’s customer-focused sales, implementation, and support approach.
