Case Study: 1HQ Brand Agency achieves faster global creative collaboration and lower IT costs with Nasuni

Global Branding Agency Accelerates Creative Content Collaboration and Lowers Costs with Nasuni

1HQ is a global brand and packaging design agency with creative teams in London, New York, and Rotterdam serving major global brands. As file sizes grew and the firm expanded, its legacy storage and DR tools couldn’t keep up—creatives faced slow cross‑office file sharing, storage capacity limits, risky disaster recovery, and high CapEx for on‑prem hardware.

1HQ deployed Nasuni’s UniFS global file system on Azure object storage with Nasuni Edge appliances to cache active files locally. The move unified storage, backup, DR, and file sharing, cut transfer times (a 250 MB file went from 20–25 minutes to under 10 minutes or instantaneous if cached), eliminated capacity worries, reduced costs by shifting to OpEx, sped office provisioning, and improved recovery times—changes quickly adopted by both IT and creative teams.
