Case Study: Create Advertising Cuts Archive Costs in Half with Wasabi

LA Media Production Agency, Create Advertising, Cuts Archive Costs in Half with Wasabi

Create Advertising, a Los Angeles-based media production agency, needed a more affordable way to archive its growing library of 1.5 PB of completed projects while still keeping data instantly accessible for client requests. After experiencing high cloud costs, limited storage flexibility, and slow retrieval times with other providers, the company turned to Wasabi Technologies and its Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage and Cloud Sync Manager service.

Wasabi Technologies helped Create Advertising move 1.5 PB of archival data to hot cloud storage with simple pricing, no egress fees, and fast access. The migration was completed in about 10 days, and retrieval became 24x faster than AWS, cutting urgent restore times from tomorrow to about 30 minutes. The company also saw strong transfer performance, including a 307 MB/s upload test, and now has predictable scaling for future archive and backup growth.
