Lakshmi Venkataswamy, CTO and co-founder of iQ Media1 had some storage challenges to overcome—he needed a new storage platform for his company’s 6PB of video files (primarily TV broadcast clips)— dating back to 2011 and growing at a rate of 6 TBs per day.
The cost curve of traditional storage technologies was straining his budget and he was looking for a storage solution that was appropriately priced, high-capacity, low-maintenance and that would extract every cent of value from the underlying hardware by enabling it to operate well beyond its warranty coverage without increasing the risk of data loss.
