Case Study: CalArts achieves real-time collaboration with OpenDrives

CalArts enables real-time collaboration with OpenDrives across semester-based storage reprovisioning

The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) faced a challenge in managing its distributed study labs and mixed technology environment, which prevented real-time collaboration and centralized data storage for its video editing, animation, and digital design programs. To solve this, CalArts partnered with OpenDrives for a powerful enterprise storage solution.

OpenDrives implemented a flexible hybrid storage solution, combining high-performance flash with cost-effective HDD technology. This allowed students to collaborate in real-time and access projects seamlessly. The result was a highly reliable and scalable system that eliminated performance issues, underpinning the entire campus and adapting to its dynamic needs each semester without impeding educational pursuits.
