DigiBoyz: 4K post-production in Halifax, twice as fast

October 27, 20261 min read

A Nova Scotia studio moved its editors onto shared Storinator storage and cut processing and prep time roughly in half.

The situation

DigiBoyz, a Halifax post-production house, works on shows including Trailer Park Boys, Mr. D and The Mist. Its 8 to 10 editors work in 4K, and files moved between machines on portable drives.

What they did

It deployed 45Drives Storinator servers on 10Gb Ethernet, building a facility that can store 1,000TB.

The result

Processing and project prep time fell roughly by half, and hours of drive-to-drive file transfers disappeared.

Why it matters

Any team that shares large files, from engineering drawings to video, gains the same thing: one place to work, at full speed.

Source: 45Drives. This organization is a 45Drives customer, not a Connex client.
