Andy Farmer, Senior Engineer at Films at 59, said, “With an expansion in high-end broadcast, we are seeing an increasing volume of files from production companies, and pixstor helps us to manage them in a really simple way. What’s more, its tiered performance lets us efficiently manage the costs of fast bandwidth storage, allocating super-fast storage to the most demanding projects and setting policies for sequential 4K, and in the future 8K, content. With access to a heat-map that visualises files, we’ve gained real insight to help us


develop our storage strategies and that’s a real payoff in managing the costs of projects, both internally and for our clients.”


With its continued success, Films at 59 is now looking to expand its pixstor system to meet its growing 4K workload and remain agile with 8K on the horizon.


“Films at 59 is both a technical and creative trailblazer in post- production and we’re proud to support their team as they continue to deliver stunning 4K


programming” said Ben Leaver, CEO of pixitmedia. “With pixstor we’ve gone beyond storage to deliver a workflow-focused infrastructure that empowers our customers to take on demanding any-K projects, create award-winning work and evolve their business.”
