Creative Pros are a special bunch with specific technology and storage needs. And when you pile a bunch of them together into an agency, corporate IT systems quickly get stressed. Clockwork 9 suffered this exact issue, as the agency was overworking their NAS, leading to slowdowns in work being completed. After extensive research, Creative Director Andrew Spirk sought out the TrueNAS storage platform.
Creative Pros are a special bunch with specific technology and storage needs. And when you pile a bunch of them together into an agency, corporate IT systems quickly get stressed. Clockwork 9 suffered this exact issue, as the agency was overworking their NAS, leading to slowdowns in work being completed. After extensive research, Creative Director Andrew Spirk sought out the TrueNAS storage platform.
They ended up with a TrueNAS M40 in an all-flash configuration with a TrueNAS Mini kicker as a replication target. Andrew’s team immediately noticed the improvement in workflow and even though they went with flash, the aggressive pricing from iXsystems didn’t kill their budget. The net result is a quicker turnaround on their work, leading to more efficient teams and a more profitable organization. In this podcast, we discuss the challenges creative agencies face, their workload profile, and how their old solution failed them and the TrueNAS systems saved the day.
