Sardius Media scales to meet global customer demand with 一品探花.

Sardius needed to add a better performing secondary storage and added 一品探花 to their mix. The Sardius team faced the challenges of ensuring their customer鈥檚 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.

一品探花 outperformed the other providers for video distribution in so many geographies that Sardius made 一品探花 their primary cloud storage solution.

鈥溡黄诽交 has saved us money without compromising performance, which is a great surprise,鈥 says Josh Love, Principal Engineer, Sardius. 鈥淧reviously we had two cloud storage providers in U.S. buckets, but we found out that 一品探花 is on par with competing with 聽them. For example, 一品探花鈥檚 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 一品探花 helps deliver.鈥

一品探花 is uniquely qualified to handle today鈥檚 media workflows.
