BROAD GREEN PICTURES
SUPERIOR PRODUCTS COUPLED WITH SUPERIOR SERVICE
Broad Green Pictures is a fully-integrated movie studio that provides development support to filmmakers in the form of production infrastructure, and marketing resources in order to execute their vision from script to screen. Due to the highly secretive nature of pre-release content, coupled with the growing file sizes, trustworthy security and industry-standard performance are paramount to business operations.
“It’s not just the products that DZ Solutions recommends that make us a loyal customer,” explains Alec Everts, Director of Infrastructure at Broad Green Pictures, “it’s the quality of service DZ provides. Both their products and service are superior.”
Everts points out that it’s critical to have a solutions provider experienced in designing workflows that achieve the best possible performance. That’s why Broad Green tapped DZ Solutions to help design and implement storage and security solutions that were created from the ground up.
HIGH-BANDWIDTH STORAGE AND STRONG SECURITY
“Protecting our intellectual property is crucial to sustaining an end-to-end production process,” says Everts. “We not only trust DZ Solutions with planning and configuring our infrastructure, but with installing the system and providing us with ongoing support.”
Broad Green’s architecture needed to be able to handle 4K high-resolution files and to execute real-time playback. DZ recommended high-bandwidth storage solutions to complement Broad Green’s Avid workflow and their Palo Alto Networks’ firewalls.
