The CFL club, then the Edmonton Eskimos, moved CCTV and operations onto a two-site cluster because it cannot afford downtime on game day.
The situation
The club earns about 90% of its income in 10 to 11 business days a year. Its old hardware was unreliable and short on storage for growing camera footage.
What they did
In 2018 it deployed Scale Computing HC3 with flash storage across two sites, running CCTV monitoring, antivirus and system monitoring, with concession systems planned next.
The result
Reliable surveillance and monitoring across both sites, with storage that grows with the footage.
Why it matters
Peak days leave no margin for failure. The same thinking applies to any operation with a busy season.
