Infortrend Technology, Inc. announced that one of the major entertainment groups in K-pop industry has chosen its storage solution for video post-production. The entertainment company has been Infortrend's customer for over a decade as its M&E storage solutions enable smooth media workloads from video editing and rendering to archiving. Ranked as one of the top three entertainment groups in Korea, the company features world-renowned K-pop artists, and its YouTube channel has reached around 2 billion views.

As an established benchmark of the industry, the company produces a substantial amount of promotional videos, including music videos, trailers, behind-the-scenes, vlogs, and more. They are created by the dedicated post-production team using Final Cut Pro. Due to the ever-increasing content production and demand for ultra-high definition videos, the company recently planned to expand its storage infrastructure.

The main requirement for storage is reliability to safeguard the content created by the artists. Furthermore, it must offer high throughput for up to 21 simultaneous editing processes.
