The project
For the 2026 edition of Nameless Music Festival, back at its original home at Centro Sportivo Bione in Lecco, we ran the media crew's full data pipeline. Dozens of videomakers offloaded their cards at our desk, where every file was copied to storage with integrity verification. Two separate NAS units mirrored each other so that every clip existed in two copies at all times, with no single point of failure. To keep the editors fast we built a dedicated network: each editing workstation connected at 2.5 Gbps, with the NAS ports bonded (link aggregation) into an isolated, dedicated 20 Gbps channel, letting the whole team read and write directly on the shared storage without local copies. Across three days we archived terabytes of footage with zero lost files.
The challenge
Dozens of videomakers were shooting across stages, backstage and crowd for three non-stop days. The footage is one-shot: a festival can't be reshot. Without a solid system, files scatter, editors wait to access material, and there is no guarantee critical footage is safely backed up in time to publish clips during the event.
Our solution
We ran the full data lifecycle on-site: structured ingest with checksum-verified copies, two mirrored NAS units for a redundant double copy of everything, and a dedicated high-bandwidth network (2.5 Gbps per workstation, NAS ports bonded to 20 Gbps) so editors could work directly on the shared storage.
The result
The crew never stopped for a data or network issue. Clips went out on time, editors worked in parallel on the same storage, and after three days the count that matters was clean: zero lost files.
