Case Study: TBWA Australia achieves streamlined, secure workflows and hundreds of hours of admin time saved with Quantum Corporation's StorNext Pro Foundation

Leading Advertising and Creative Agency Streamlines and Secures Workflow With StorNext

TBWA Australia, the local arm of the global TBWA advertising network, was struggling as video production demands outgrew its direct‑attach disk servers. Editors faced slow, manual file management, physical disk transfers between offices, limited backup and disaster‑recovery options, and significant IT and editorial overhead that caused delays and poor collaboration.

The agency deployed Quantum StorNext Pro Foundation (Xcellis with StorNext 5, 48TB QXS RAID, StorNext AEL500 tape archive and Q‑Cloud) to provide SAN‑based shared storage, automated tape/archive policies and cloud DR. The integrated solution enabled real‑time collaboration, instant access to archived assets, automated backups to tape and cloud, and saved hundreds of administrative hours per year while greatly improving data protection and productivity.
