Case Study: Fox Sports achieves scalable, streamlined live broadcasts with OpenDrives

Fox Sports cuts broadcast setup from 4U to 2U with OpenDrives

Fox Sports, a major live broadcast organization, faced significant challenges in managing the growing volume and complexity of content for its large-scale sporting events. Their legacy infrastructure was monolithic, difficult to manage, and had a large physical footprint that hindered deployment on broadcast trucks. They needed a faster, more robust, and scalable solution to consolidate hardware and software, streamline workflows, and reduce setup time. To overcome this, they turned to OpenDrives for its next-generation storage solutions.

OpenDrives implemented its Ultra family of hardware, powered by the Atlas data management software platform. This solution provided a modular, portable, and turnkey system that dramatically reduced physical footprint and complexity. As a result, Fox Sports achieved its consolidation goals, standardized its deployment model for predictability across events of any size, and realized significant cost savings and operational efficiencies, all while ensuring an optimal viewing experience.
