Case Study: IRC achieves faster global media collaboration with Storj

IRC cuts footage transfer delays with Storj

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) faced significant challenges with its global video production workflow. The organization, which operates in conflict zones and disaster areas, relied on raw footage stored on-premises in New York. This created bottlenecks for its distributed team, as editors and producers across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East depended on slow transfers and physical hard drives, causing delays that hampered their urgent mission. The IRC partnered with Storj and integrator CineSys to overcome these constraints.

The solution involved implementing a cloud-based architecture using Storj's distributed object storage for archiving and global distribution. This removed regional bottlenecks, allowing teams and vendors anywhere in the world to instantly upload and download assets. The results were transformative, enabling faster access to footage from conflict zones and seamless collaboration with global vendors. This streamlined workflow eliminated days of lost time, allowing the IRC to respond more quickly to urgent editorial needs and support their critical fundraising and response efforts.
