Case Study: Matchstick Productions achieves centralized storage and streamlined workflows with Synology Inc.'s DS1618+

Matchstick Productions - Customer Case Study

Matchstick Productions (MSP Films), a leading action-sports film company producing roughly 250 TB of footage a year, faced a cumbersome workflow built around dozens of external hard drives that had to be located, duplicated and physically shipped whenever editors or social teams needed content. To solve this, they deployed Synology Inc.'s DiskStation DS1618+ as their primary storage platform.

Synology Inc. implemented the DS1618+ as a centralized, redundant and searchable NAS connected to onsite editing bays via a 10Gb switch, allowing editors, production staff and social media managers to access files anywhere. The solution eliminated drive shuttling and physical shipments, accelerated access to ~250 TB of annual footage, streamlined collaboration, boosted productivity, and made social-media publishing faster and more reliable.
