Case Study: Deluxe Media achieves faster file-based workflows and scalable petabyte archiving with Quantum Corporation's StorNext

Deluxe Media - Customer Case Study

Deluxe Media Europe, a major content management provider for broadcasters, studios and OTT platforms, needed to modernize its workflows to a fully file‑based architecture to support multichannel delivery, simultaneous collaborative access, and massive data volumes. The company faced daily operational demands—moving roughly 4 TB on and off LTO tape and about 6 TB to clients each day—and required a scalable, reliable system that could handle higher‑resolution formats and growing file counts without slowing delivery.

Deluxe implemented Quantum StorNext scale‑out storage and an AEL6000 tape archive tightly integrated with its DL3 asset manager, enabling high‑performance file sharing, policy‑based disk‑to‑tape migration, and transparent global access to metadata and content. The solution automated migration (files move to tape after five minutes), stores over 5 PB with redundant copies, accelerates transfers for high‑resolution workflows, reduces storage cost, and gives Deluxe the scalability and reliability needed to speed content delivery and support future growth.
