Case Study: Red Bee Media achieves rapid, scalable, and reliable global media delivery with NetApp

Red Bee Media Transforms Media Management on a Global Scale

Red Bee Media, a global managed‑services provider for broadcasters, faced growing content volumes, complex bespoke workflows, and strict security and regulatory demands while needing to push channels to air in minutes rather than days. The company needed to escape vendor lock‑in and simplify a sprawling proprietary stack to scale more quickly and reliably for its expanding client base.

Red Bee deployed Pixit Media’s PixStor software‑defined storage with NetApp E‑Series arrays across multiple sites, creating a unified, secure storage fabric with orchestration and 24/7 partner support. The solution manages petabytes and billions of files under a single global namespace, delivers up to 53 GBps sustained throughput, enables 2.7 million hours of content streamed per year, and lets Red Bee onboard clients and launch channels in hours with enterprise‑grade reliability and security.
