Colossus Media Group: one server for every editor

October 27, 20261 min read

A digital media producer moved its whole creative team onto one Storinator.

The situation

Colossus Media Group produces large volumes of 4K content that clients expect it to keep.

What they did

It deployed a 45Drives Storinator Q30 with ZFS, backed up nightly to the cloud.

The result
