Case Study: Asylum Entertainment boosts post-production productivity with Panasas ActiveStor

Asylum Entertainment Boosts Productivity and Accelerates Creativity for Post-production with Panasas® ActiveStor®

Asylum Entertainment’s Framework Post post-production team needed a way to keep up with rapid growth after its business doubled twice in two years, but its legacy storage could not provide enough throughput, capacity, or data privacy. The fragmented environment created multiple storage islands, complex logins, and slow proxy-based editing workflows, making it hard to manage projects efficiently. Panasas’ ActiveStor 14 hybrid scale-out NAS was selected to solve these challenges.

With Panasas, Asylum Entertainment unified all editing bays on a single global namespace and network, simplified access management, improved project security, and enabled direct high-resolution editing of source media. The company reported a 33% reduction in production time, eliminated the down-res and relinking process, and achieved higher productivity and better-quality output across multiple editing platforms and software clients.
