The project
We implemented and documented the use of four Synology NAS systems to support the data needs of a large-scale live music event. The architecture included distributed backups, user role segmentation, file sharing, and high-speed synchronized workflows between media teams. The project serves as a case study in scalable, event-based data infrastructure using Synology technologies.
The challenge
At a large-scale live music event, multiple media teams, photographers, videographers, editors, needed to share and access huge volumes of files at the same time. Without a proper infrastructure, files get duplicated, access becomes chaotic, and there is no safety net if something goes wrong.
Our solution
We deployed four networked storage units on-site, each with a specific role, collecting raw footage, backing up critical files, sharing content between teams, and syncing everything at high speed. Every team had access to what they needed, when they needed it, with everything automatically protected.
The result
Terabytes of footage were managed without a single loss. Teams worked in parallel without conflicts, backups ran automatically in the background, and the entire operation ran smoothly from the first day to the last.
