When Mass Storage Fails, the IT Firm With 225 TB Ready to Roll Wins!
We recently helped a client through a major shared‑storage emergency. Their production storage environment had become inaccessible, and they needed a safe place to land a massive amount of data quickly so recovery work could begin—without putting the original system at further risk.
Because MacMedics operates its own 225 TB Studio Network Solutions EVO system, we were able to immediately provision enough capacity to capture their entire dataset and start the recovery process without waiting on new hardware or cloud transfers.
Why Most Consultants Can’t Do This
Most “IT guys” in the DMV simply do not have hundreds of terabytes of high‑performance shared storage sitting on the shelf, ready to be used as a recovery target. They might be able to order drives or spin up some cloud space, but not at the scale and speed a busy production studio or media team needs mid‑crisis.
By contrast, our in‑house SNS EVO gives us an enterprise‑grade sandbox for recoveries, migrations, and upgrades. When a customer calls us with a failed RAID, corrupt volume, or controller issue, we can take action in hours instead of days.
More Than a Reseller: SNS Design, Support, and Maintenance
MacMedics is not just selling Studio Network Solutions gear. We design, install, and maintain SNS environments and can support systems regardless of where they were purchased.
If you already own an SNS system, we can:
• Audit and tune your existing SNS environment
• Handle annual support renewals and warranty coordination
• Perform upgrades, migrations, and preventive maintenance
• Step in during emergencies to protect data and restore access
This same readiness is what allowed us to react so quickly in our client’s recent crisis.
