Case Study: iostudio achieves reliable 4K storage and never drops a frame with iXsystems TrueNAS

iostudio saves $1,000+/month and stores 128TB on iXsystems TrueNAS

iostudio, a video-production studio, faced a critical challenge when Dropbox ended its unlimited storage plan, which would have cost over $1,000 a month for their 128TB of 4K footage. Their aging infrastructure struggled with massive files, risking workflow disruptions and lost recordings. They turned to vendor iXsystems for a solution using the TrueNAS storage platform.

iXsystems implemented a self-hosted TrueNAS system with over 300TB of usable capacity. The solution provided a rock-solid foundation with integrated VMs, allowed recording directly to storage, and ensured data integrity. This eliminated dropped recordings and gave iostudio full control. The move resulted in significant savings over cloud fees and provided the peace of mind to reliably manage their entire production workflow.
