Canal 13 Builds Integrated Workflow on Quantum to Accelerate Production, Safeguard Content, and Simplify Operations
Quantum Myriad® with ActiveScale® Power Real-Time Collaboration and Resilient Archiving for One of Chile's Leading Broadcasters
Quantum Corporation (NASDAQ:QMCO) today announced that Canal 13, a major Chilean broadcaster known for its news, sports, and entertainment programming, has deployed a fully integrated content storage and management solution built on Quantum's Myriad® with ActiveScale®. This new Quantum-powered workflow breaks down storage silos by unifying production and archive environments, creating a seamless infrastructure that accelerates continuous production operations, streamlines workflows, and ensures every bit of content is preserved and ready for reuse.
Facing growing production demands, increasingly tight deadlines, and the need to support new media formats, Canal 13 needed to consolidate fragmented storage environments while simplifying management and reducing costs. Working with Zer Digital system integrators, Canal 13 adopted a strategic integrated workflow solution: Quantum Myriad all-flash NAS for high-performance production storage, and Quantum ActiveScale object storage, including ActiveScale Cold Storage, for building a scalable, resilient content lake.
"We needed a solution that could meet both our real-time production demands and long-term archive needs while being easy to manage and cost-effective over time," said Rodrigo Lara, engineering manager for Canal 13. "With Quantum's Myriad and ActiveScale, and the support of Zer Digital, we now have a complete platform that improves performance, simplifies operations, and protects our valuable content for the future."
How Canal 13 is Using Quantum's Solutions:
-
Myriad for High-Performance Content Production:
Myriad is Quantum's all-flash, software-defined NAS storage built for ultra-fast content ingest, editing, and collaboration. At Canal 13, Myriad consolidates multiple previously isolated storage systems into a single, agile platform that supports all editorial workflows. With dynamic file system creation and automatic scaling, Myriad enables Canal 13's production teams to quickly adapt to new projects and changing demands without IT bottlenecks or downtime.
-
ActiveScale and ActiveScale Cold Storage for Resilient Long-Term Archiving:
To complement Myriad's high-performance production storage, Canal 13 deployed ActiveScale object storage as the backbone of its "content lake" strategy. ActiveScale provides scalable, cost-predictable storage for less frequently accessed content, ensuring valuable archives are preserved safely yet remain easily retrievable when needed for future productions or rebroadcasts.
The addition of ActiveScale Cold Storage enables Canal 13 to store vast amounts of infrequently used media at a dramatically lower cost than cloud services without incurring egress or API fees. ActiveScale's multi-site resiliency is especially critical given Chile's earthquake-prone terrain, ensuring data remains protected even in the event of a local infrastructure disruption or other disaster.
Key Customer Benefits:
-
Accelerated Content Turnaround: Myriad's flash-based performance and unique architecture enable faster ingest, editing, and project delivery.
-
Simplified Storage Management: A single, easy-to-administer platform supports diverse workflows across production and archive without the need for advanced IT skills.
-
Future-Ready Flexibility: Seamlessly adapts to new formats, larger projects, and evolving workflow needs.
-
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: ActiveScale Cold Storage provides a long-term archive solution without unpredictable cloud fees.
- Built-in Disaster Resilience: ActiveScale's multi-site durability safeguards content against natural disasters.
The project began with a proof-of-concept to demonstrate Myriad's and ActiveScale's capabilities, leading quickly to full-scale deployment. Canal 13 leveraged the Quantum GO™ subscription model, enabling them to deploy the solution with an OpEx-based payment structure. This approach aligned technology investment with operational budgets and ensured instant access to high-performance infrastructure without delay.
"Canal 13's new Quantum-based infrastructure represents a true next-generation model for broadcast operations," said Brian Cabrera, chief administration officer for Quantum. "They now have a flexible, high-performance platform that empowers faster content creation, stronger content protection, and seamless scalability for the future."
