Museum of the Future Achieves its Media Vision with Synology

Due to the large number of projects, The Museum of the Future needed a secure and reliable storage solution for their media content and video editing. With projects involving artworks, commercials, and video projections featuring high-resolution files up to 8K, the museum's storage needs grew exponentially each year. To address the annual increase of roughly 110TB, the museum turned to Synology storage solutions to meet their expanding requirements.

The museum initially installed two SA3400 units, which now serve as the backbone of video and audio screens across its exhibitions. These units ensure seamless playback and robust performance for over 100 media display endpoints. Each SA3400 operates independently, utilizing distinct mechanisms to back up audio and visual files. With a combined storage capacity of over 100TB, the SA3400 units effortlessly handle the museum's extensive media requirements.

The video team utilizes multiple services for file sharing and collaboration. While exploring Synology's DSM packages, they discovered the license-free Active Backup suite of solutions for multiple providers. This solution protects their different enterprise service account from data loss, allowing them to easily restore data whenever needed.
