Case Study: Barry-Wehmiller achieves faster, full-resolution video production and shorter turnaround with Quantum Corporation's StorNext Pro Studio

Corporate Video Team Carries Company’s People-Centered Culture Around the World With StorNext

Barry‑Wehmiller, a $2.5 billion, people‑centered engineering and manufacturing services company with more than 80 businesses and 11,000 team members, relied on its corporate video team to communicate culture and training worldwide. As project volume and high‑resolution formats grew, the team’s NAS‑based storage and busy corporate network couldn’t keep up—editors were forced to use proxy files, pass hard drives around, and endure slow collaboration and long production cycles.

The company deployed Quantum StorNext Pro Studio (StorNext 5, Xcellis Workflow Director, QXS‑1200 RAID) on a dedicated Brocade Fibre‑Channel fabric, installed by integrator 1303 Systems. The turnkey solution enabled full‑resolution, in‑place editing with simultaneous multi‑editor access, cut typical project timelines from about 60 days to 25–30 days, supported multiple streams of 4K, improved production quality, delivered clear ROI, and left corporate IT resources unaffected.
