CBC’s new storage system is part of a facility upgrade to replace an aging existing infrastructure within the graphics and postproduction area to better support broadcast operations. CBC’s core requirement was for a centralized video editing and graphics production storage system that could deliver files using standard protocols over IP rather than legacy Fibre Channel. The new infrastructure had to be able to play back hundreds of video streams, including HD and ultra-HD video formats, as well as audio for Steinberg Nuendo workloads. CBC needed a software-defined storage solution to scale the system without making forklift upgrades and a single storage namespace split into multiple storage pools to handle different workloads. The platform had to work with both Mac and PC operating systems. In addition, all the video content in the file system had to be replicated remotely so that there would be two copies of the data for disaster recovery.

Based in London, Carrenza is a global cloud service company that provides award-winning infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) to customers that range from government agencies to leading retailers and financial-services firms. Carrenza has vast expertise in public-cloud integration, supporting customers that use Amazon Web Services, VMware vCloud Air, and Microsoft Azure.

Carrenza turned to NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) and implemented the NetApp® SolidFire® all-flash storage system to increase infrastructure agility and responsiveness, while reducing storage maintenance time and administration effort. As a result, Carrenza’s customers can now scale storage resources without up-front capital expenses. The scalability and agility frees customers from unnecessary up-front costs and allows them to plan ahead for performance or capacity changes.

Premier Eye Care turned to NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) and implemented a NetApp® SolidFire® all-flash storage system for its Microsoft SQL database workloads to solve major challenges with backup and recovery, latency, and reporting. In doing so, Premier Eye Care reduced its backup-and-recovery time from up to nine hours to seven minutes. Latency fell from 150 to 200 milliseconds to 1 to 2 milliseconds per transaction. Reports that took hours now take minutes, and database maintenance cycles accelerated from 22 hours to approximately 4 hours.
