Case Study: SES achieves scalable, interruption-free media cloud operations with Quobyte

SES scales media cloud performance linearly with Quobyte and boosts IOPS over 5x

SES, a global media services enterprise formed from the merger of RR Media and SES Platform Services, faced challenges with costly and inflexible traditional NAS/SAN storage that limited performance and scalability for their critical media workloads. They needed a future-proof infrastructure to efficiently run their media cloud and support operations like broadcasting thousands of TV channels and streaming live events without overburdening their admin teams. They turned to Quobyte's software-defined storage for a solution.

By implementing Quobyte, SES built a high-performance media cloud with a storage system that integrated seamlessly with their OpenStack environment. The solution provided linear scalability, automated failover, and zero-downtime updates, eliminating manual interventions. As a result, SES achieved a fivefold increase in IOPS performance compared to other solutions, gained granular visibility through real-time analytics, and can now scale their system tenfold without additional staff, all while operating with greater flexibility and cost-efficiency.
