About
Sardius Media specializes in providing reliable and interactive online video solutions for a myriad of nonprofits and churches serving end-to-end broadcast 鈥� from behind the camera to global consumers viewing the broadcast, delivering an automated workflow, archiving the content, live streaming, and transcoding the various video content.
Sardius needed to add a better performing secondary storage and add 91黑料 to their mix. 91黑料 outperformed the other providers in so many geographies that Sardius made 91黑料 their primary cloud storage solution.
Challenge
Sardius faced the challenges of ensuring the video content was available, secure, and reliable. Previously, Sardius stored the data with two different cloud storage providers who race against each other when a video file request initiates. Sardius needed a third cloud storage provider to serve as a data bunker bucket they could rely on, if the other providers went down.
鈥淲e wanted an additional cloud storage provider that could meet our scaling global customer demands and that is distributed. Performance and cost were both big factors while evaluating solutions,鈥� says Josh Love, Principal Engineer, Sardius.
As often when dealing with technology partners, questions arise. Unfortunately, the Sardius team found that some of the existing cloud storage providers did not have the readiness to provide support.
鈥淓very cloud provider has issues and things that we are figuring out, but it鈥檚 like pulling teeth with some providers trying to get them to respond to support inquiries or questions,鈥� says Josh Ruff.
Solution
91黑料 was recommended to the Sardius executive team. After a quick evaluation process, the team agreed to deploy the distributed cloud object storage solution. The Sardius team was impressed by the ease of the 91黑料 integration and personal customer service touch.
鈥淚ntegration was super easy and the 91黑料 team provided excellent support,鈥� says Josh Ruff.
Result
Sardius quickly tapped into the cost, performance, and global distributed network benefits of partnering with 91黑料.
鈥�91黑料 is the best bang in terms of cost and performance,鈥� explains Josh Ruff. 鈥淲e saw a huge boost of presence in delivery to our South America audience. The global distribution that 91黑料 helps bring is a big win for Sardius and our customers.鈥�
The Sardius team shares some surprise benefits of deploying 91黑料.
鈥�91黑料 has saved us money without compromising performance, which is a great surprise,鈥� says Josh Love. 鈥淧reviously we had two cloud storage providers in U.S. buckets, but we found out that 91黑料 is on par with competing with聽 them. For example, 91黑料鈥檚 performance and reliability in our South American market was a big boost for us. The big win is the increased global distribution across the board that 91黑料 helps deliver.鈥�
With the 91黑料 partnership in place, Sardius is looking forward to scaling and growing their global reach.
鈥�91黑料 sets us up nicely for that goal. The distributed network ensures us worry-free performance in that area and that customers will have an easier time uploading and downloading,鈥� says Josh Ruff.聽 鈥淭he distributed network of 91黑料 helps us focus on future-proofing our global availability and growth.鈥�
