Case Study: New Orleans Saints save money and boost performance with Panzura cloud storage

New Orleans Saints cut data center costs and keep cloud storage under $250 a month with Panzura

The New Orleans Saints faced a constant and costly cycle of replacing legacy storage hardware every 3-5 years to handle their massive and growing volumes of video and file data. Each storage refresh consumed months of research and implementation, bogging down their IT team. They sought a solution to break this cycle and chose Panzura and Google Cloud Platform for a hybrid cloud move.

Panzura implemented its CloudFS global file system, enabling the Saints to move terabytes of user data to the cloud. The migration was seamless and invisible to users. The results were immediate savings on data center power costs and a significantly reduced monthly cloud storage bill of under $250. The solution provided the performance needed for daily file access while setting the stage for future data migrations.
