Case Study: Bonfire Labs achieves faster remote media collaboration with Synology NAS

Bonfire Labs cuts storage costs to one third with Synology Inc.

Bonfire Labs, a creative content agency, faced the challenge of transitioning its video editing and production workflow to a fully remote model. Their previous fiber channel-based system was cost-prohibitive and could not support remote collaboration, which was critical for meeting their clients' rapid turnaround times. They turned to Synology Inc. for a new storage solution.

Synology implemented a system using its NAS units and Presto File Server protocol to automate media import and enable high-speed file transfer to remote editors. This solution streamlined Bonfire's remote collaboration, reduced their office footprint, and cut costs dramatically. The Synology setup cost one third of the previous system and saved over two thousand dollars per month in software licensing fees.
