REDLAB had enjoyed a longstanding partnership with the Scale Logic team, spanning many years. Initially, Scale Logic had assisted REDLAB in constructing a rapid and dependable production storage system. This system, implemented in phases, was designed to be easily scalable in both performance and capacity.

Over the course of a decade, REDLAB relied on Scale Logic’s HyperFS SAN to meet rigorous speed demands for grading and finishing uncompressed footage across multiple suites simultaneously, with only minimal downtime required for maintenance.

Over time—and once performance and cost aligned with their needs—REDLAB planned to transition to a NAS solution. However, as they began their search, they found that none of the options they tested were sufficient.
