[Suggested tweet: Platinum Platypus realizes huge gains in media workflow efficiency, productivity with @QuantumCorp @StorNext solution http://qntm.co/1Q84ETC] Rapid Growth Demands a New Approach to Storage "As our work continued to attract more potential clients, we found ourselves being asked questions like 'Can you do these movie scenes for us right now?' and 'I've got a Fortune 500 client sending video from three continents. Can you handle it?' " said Pete Sussi, president of Platinum Platypus. "We wanted to say yes, but the backlog got so big and the delays were so long that we needed to do something different to be able to keep growing the business." Addressing Current and Future Needs With StorNext Pro Studio StorNext Pro Studio is a complete appliance-based workflow storage solution designed for smaller media production companies that need streaming performance and room to grow. The Platinum Platypus StorNext Pro Studio solution includes a dual-redundant StorNext M441D metadata controller and high-speed QX-1200 RAID storage. The company added to that a Brocade Fibre Channel fabric, along with a Quantum Scalar LTO library to provide long-term retention of the digital assets. With copies of the company's work maintained on the Quantum Scalar library, the Platinum Platypus team can retrieve older projects quickly and better meet customer requests for repurposing or re-use of finished video content. Building a Faster, Better Workflow "StorNext Pro Studio has helped my company realize gains in terms of speed, time and money," added Sussi. "I really can't see how the growth that we've had in the past year could have happened without the Quantum storage solution. If I could tell a business that's in the same predicament that we were in four or five years ago, I would say, 'What you need is a Quantum solution.'
