A NetApp Case Study
My Eye Media, a Burbank postproduction and quality-control facility for Hollywood studios, TV networks, and streaming providers, needed to handle growing 4K workflows without slowing delivery. Native-resolution QC of massive master files (up to 10 TB) was causing long transfer times, strained storage capacity, and file-system instability—risks that could delay projects and harm customer satisfaction.
The company migrated to a NetApp E-Series array running the Quantum StorNext 5 file system, deployed by Integrated Media Technologies, to boost streaming bandwidth and multi-OS concurrent access. The upgrade delivered a fivefold increase in storage capacity and aggregate bandwidth, five-times-faster simultaneous transfers with MD5 verification, and reliable native 4K and DPX workflow support—enabling more concurrent projects, faster turnaround, and improved quality assurance and viewing for customers.
