Case Study: MX1 achieves high-availability, scalable media cloud operations with Quobyte

Quobyte ensures reliability and fast data access for MX1’s media cloud

MX1, a global media services enterprise, faced the challenge of needing a highly scalable and available storage infrastructure to support their demanding media workloads. Their previous traditional NAS and SAN solutions were too inflexible, costly, and difficult to administer. Quobyte provided its Data Center File System as the solution.

The Quobyte solution, seamlessly integrated with OpenStack, delivered a scalable, high-throughput, and low-latency storage foundation. This resulted in a fully fault-tolerant media cloud with zero downtime for updates and automated failover. Quobyte enabled the MX1 team to manage a system ten times its initial size without additional staff, drastically reducing operational overhead while ensuring their services remain interruption-free.
