Case Study: Professional Football Team Solves Video & Archive Challenges with CHESA, OSNexus & Seagate Solution

The Challenge

A professional American Football team came to CHESA, their trusted VAR, searching for a large-scale NAS solution for video archive, specifically for their coaches to review game and practice footage. The football team was finding NAS systems to be expensive, complex, and not fast enough for their needs. The team needed to deploy 5PB of storage as scale-up NAS. CHESA is very familiar with the Media & Entertainment field and was able to use their technology partnerships to bring a solution together to fit the team’s requirements.

“We work with many IT teams in the Media & Entertainment space that need high-capacity NAS systems that are fast, reliable, easy-to-manage, and at the same time, cost effective. The Seagate & OSNexus combination delivers great NAS solutions for those requirements and are a big win for our customers,” said the CHESA representative for the end user.

The Solution

CHESA’s customer required a large-scale archive solution for their team’s video footage, and when CHESA proposed the OSNexus + Seagate solution, it really stood out for it’s ease of use, scalability, feature set, and appliance-like nature. The team purchased the solution and the deployment went really quickly, they remarked that the platform has been incredibly easy to use and manage and that it’s very durable with the combination of software RAID and Seagate ADAPT technology.

The Result

After deploying 5PB of scale-up NAS primarily as a large-scale archive, the team is planning to expand their use of the platform due to the wide range of features QuantaStor provides. The team remarks that OSNexus support has been great; the deployment was completed over a couple of Zoom sessions and that the support team has been very knowledgable and helpful.

“The Seagate & OSNexus solution really stood out for its ease of use, scalability, feature set, and appliance-like nature. It has been really easy for our team to use and manage and it is very durable with the combination of software RAID and Seagate ADAPT technology,” said the CHESA representative for the end user.
