SNL Archives 40+ Years of Media on Cloudian

Legendary Weekend Comedy Show Archives 40+ Years of Media on Cloudian

Today, the need for highly scalable and quickly accessible archives is greater than ever as higher resolution media demands more capacity and media re-use requirements multiply in multi-format, time-pressured workflows.

A well-known weekly, weekend comedy show was experiencing these challenges firsthand. Having outgrown the capabilities of their tape archive, they urgently needed a faster, more reliable, highly scalable archive solution to provide their post-production staff speedy access to 40+ years of content — over 800 episodes, millions of digital assets, and petabytes of data. And they required a less labor-intensive process that would eliminate tape handling and migrations.
