Case Study: Miami Marlins achieves fast, secure video data sharing and seamless backup with Panzura

Miami Marlins Boost Sporting Success with Video Availability

The Miami Marlins, a two-time World Series champion, needed a modern data strategy to support video analysis, stats, and collaboration across Marlins Park, Roger Dean Stadium and a colocation backup site. Their legacy NAS/CIFS file-server approach couldn’t meet requirements for fast, secure video transfers, automated backup/recovery, cross-site replication, archiving, and a path to cloud storage without added complexity or operational cost.

Panzura delivered a single-appliance solution—16TB Panzura Filer at the ballpark, an identical HA standby at the colocation, and a Virtual Filer at Roger Dean Stadium—connected over 100 Mbps links to Cleversafe cloud storage. The rollout gave 200+ users seamless DFS/AD integration, quick secure video sharing, up to 11TB warm cache at standby for rapid disaster recovery, minimal learning curve, and clear cost and continuity benefits while enabling a future public-cloud strategy.
