Backblaze Partners with Eagles to Transform Media Production Using Cloud Technology

Backblaze and Philadelphia Eagles Revolutionize Media Production with Cloud Technology

Backblaze, Inc., a leader in cloud storage solutions, is set to showcase its innovative impact on media production at the upcoming SVG Summit in New York City. The company collaborates with the Philadelphia Eagles to present a case study titled “Protecting QBs and PBs: Moving from tape to cloud for real-time production access and resiliency.” This session, scheduled for December 16, will feature insights from industry professionals, including Stacy Kelleher, the Eagles' Director of Production, and Backblaze's Chief Product Officer, David Ngo. Together, they will discuss the transition from traditional tape-based storage systems to a cutting-edge cloud infrastructure that enhances media accessibility and production efficiency.

The collaboration highlights how the Eagles have successfully moved away from LTO tape systems to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, enabling immediate access to vast archives of historical footage. This shift not only accelerates content production but also significantly reduces wait times for media professionals, allowing for a more agile response in the 48 hours post-game when timely content is critical. The integration of Mimir asset management software and Quantum shared file systems further streamlines the production process, making it easier for teams to generate and share content with external vendors, thereby enhancing fan engagement and overall experience.

David Ngo emphasizes Backblaze's commitment to supporting professional and collegiate sports teams with high-performance, instantly accessible cloud storage solutions. These innovations not only optimize the production workflows of sports organizations but also position Backblaze as a vital partner in the ever-evolving landscape of sports media. The session at the SVG Summit aims to underscore the importance of cloud technology in facilitating real-time access to content, which is essential for modern sports broadcasting and fan interaction.

In addition to the Eagles' session, Backblaze's Product Marketing Manager, Laquie TN Campbell, will participate in a panel focused on cloud-based editing and postproduction. This event draws top executives from major sports leagues and broadcast organizations, further showcasing Backblaze's influence and leadership in cloud storage solutions for the sports industry. The SVG Summit serves as a critical platform for discussing the future of media production, reinforcing Backblaze's role as an innovator in providing advanced cloud technologies tailored for sports professionals.
