Case Study: Notre Dame Fighting Irish Media achieves content delivery in minutes instead of hours with Quantum Corporation's StorNext

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Media - Customer Case Study

The University of Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish Media (FIM) produces high-volume athletic content—covering 26 teams, streaming 125–130 events and posting more than 1,000 highlights a year—while training student staff. Their legacy workflow (shoot to removable drives, edit/transcode on laptops) couldn’t keep up with fan expectations for near‑real‑time highlights, causing delays of hours and limiting scalability.

FIM implemented a shared-storage, collaborative workflow based on Quantum StorNext/ActiveSAN with Telestream Vantage, CatDV and Adobe Premiere to enable live ingest, automatic transcoding and concurrent editing. The change cut delivery times from hours to minutes, boosted annual output by about 50% (to ~1,500 videos), scaled for higher‑resolution formats, and transitioned smoothly to StorNext with no downtime—supporting both athletics and broader university media needs.
