Case Study: World's Largest Broadcasting Company achieves instant global video access with Wasabi Technologies

Major Television Broadcaster Turns to Hot Cloud Storage for Instant Video Access

The World’s Largest Broadcasting Company’s marketing group needed a better way to immediately access, transcode, and share archived promotional video stored across a mix of on-premises systems and an off-site tape library. Working with Wasabi Technologies and its media management partner Cloudflyer, the team looked for a scalable cloud storage option that could support active archive workflows without slow retrieval times or complicated infrastructure.

Wasabi Technologies provided hot cloud storage integrated with Cloudflyer, giving the broadcaster instant access to video assets with no retrieval fees. The company reported saving 80% on storage costs versus other cloud alternatives, retrieving files up to six times faster than AWS S3, and transferring 40 GB videos across the globe in less than a minute instead of hours or days.
