For film, photo & event studios

High-availability storage for creative studios

We design secure networks and deploy NAS solutions so your teams can store, access, and protect footage reliably — built from audits of studios shooting 15 TB to 90+ TB a year.

From our studio audits

What breaks before anyone notices

Patterns from on-site audits at wedding, event and post-production studios in Bangalore and Delhi, holding anywhere from 15 TB to 90+ TB of active footage. Nobody designed these failures on purpose — that's exactly why they're expensive.

Storage grows one drive at a time

A drive gets bought reactively when the last one fills up. Nobody ever decided on the architecture, which is why nobody can say what's on which drive.

SEEN AT MOST STUDIOS AUDITED — 25 TO 50+ DRIVES, NO INDEX

A blown drive mid-edit costs more than the drive

Editors run their timeline straight off a USB external because the edit machine's internal disk is full. When it fails mid-project, the edit goes with it — not just the raw footage.

ONE STUDIO LOST FOUR DAYS OF EDITING TO A SINGLE DRIVE FAILURE

A memory card that never comes back is a lost wedding

Cards move between shooters and the studio by hand. One mix-up, one card left at the venue, and a client's day is unrecoverable — with no second copy anywhere.

FLAGGED AT MULTIPLE STUDIOS AS A LIVE, UNMITIGATED RISK

Nobody decided how long delivered footage stays alive

Clients come back for re-edits months after delivery. Studios either delete too early and lose the footage, or keep everything forever and pay to store data nobody recalls.

A RETENTION GAP HAS ALREADY COST A REAL CLIENT PAYMENT

Shipping footage to an outside editor costs real days and money

A drive couriered to a freelance editor and back blocks it for 10–15 days per round trip, on top of the courier cost itself — for every project that needs outside help.

A RECURRING COST NOBODY HAD PUT A NUMBER ON BEFORE

A DIY server is a second project, not a shortcut

Studios have burnt real money self-configuring a build overnight during peak season before turning to a preconfigured setup with support behind it — sometimes lakhs, twice over.

DIY FAILURES HAVE COST STUDIOS MORE THAN THE EVENTUAL FIX
Our services

From assessment to ongoing operations

We help creative businesses build reliable data foundations — the network, the array, and the recovery plan behind both.

Network assessment & design

Plan secure, high-availability networks tailored to your sites, teams, and workloads.

NAS deployment & configuration

Vendor-agnostic setup (Synology, TrueNAS, QNAP) with RAID, SMB/NFS, and quotas.

Data migration

A zero-trust approach with staged cutovers to move data safely with minimal downtime.

Backup & disaster recovery

3-2-1 backups, snapshots, offsite replication, and recovery drills you can trust.

Access control & security

Least-privilege access, directory integration, and encryption at rest and in transit.

Monitoring & SLAs

Proactive monitoring, capacity planning, and response SLAs to keep you ahead.

How it works

Four stages, nothing improvised

01

Assess

We walk the studio, map every device that touches footage, and measure what your network actually does under load.

02

Design

You get a written design: capacity, redundancy, share layout, access model and the recovery plan behind it.

03

Deploy

Racking, RAID build, share and quota setup, directory integration, then a staged cutover outside working hours.

04

Operate

Monitoring, capacity reviews and recovery drills, with a response SLA in writing.

A 12-seat post house, rebuilt in one weekend

Footage lived on twenty-odd shuttle drives. We put it on one array with hourly snapshots, a nightly offsite copy and per-project quotas, and the cutover ran overnight on a Saturday.
