Case Study: Hornet Inc. achieves faster, unified media storage with iXsystems TrueNAS

Hornet Inc. - Customer Case Study

Hornet Inc., an animation and media production studio, faced storage challenges with their inefficient two-server SAN solution. They required a high-performance, unified storage system that could handle large-scale media files, provide fast access for numerous workstations, and ensure data recoverability. After struggling to get clear answers from other vendors, they contacted iXsystems, which offered the TrueNAS storage array, a solution known for its use in the media and entertainment industry.

iXsystems implemented a TrueNAS storage array to replace Hornet's previous setup, providing a unified solution with fast read/write speeds, high availability, and built-in file recovery. The results included replication that completed in minutes instead of hours, seamless performance for up to sixty simultaneous users, and significant cost savings. Hornet also benefited from iXsystems' consultative support and expertise, which ensured a smooth deployment and ongoing management without the need to hire additional IT staff.
