Japan's largest video distribution company builds a multi-petabyte streaming infrastructure

The company sought a storage solution for their origin server that could manage performance with absolute stability at petabyte scale — plus, seamlessly grow with their business and catalog.

CDN costs and dedicated systems for each campaign: Many customers sporadically access the campaigns that DMM.com conducts. Therefore, predicting the system load is difficult, and they were offloading to CDN. In addition, they used to have to construct a dedicated system for each campaign.

Expensive, time-consuming upgrades and migrations: Such high-demand, high-volume streaming often required the infrastructure division at DMM.com to move titles to an alternative storage system to ensure a decent customer experience.

The continuous growth of their content library: This was also driving existing systems to costly limits. Upgrades were expensive and required migrations of existing data — a time-consuming exercise, to say the least.

Shifting core components of its content library to Scality RING gave the DMM.com team immediate relief. Scality RING is effortlessly capable of handling all requirements that DMM.com's customers can throw at it.

CDN costs eliminated and campaigns simplified: Thanks to Scality RING, offloading to CDN became unnecessary. And the dedicated system DMM.com used to have to construct for each campaign? No more. They now omit this construction.

Scalability is no longer a pain point: With an ever-growing content library of more than 300,000 titles, most of them decidedly not mainstream, DMM.com delivers results on searches for different media — lightning fast and in most any file format you could want.

It's performed so well that DMM.com has reduced the cost of its content delivery network and no longer needs alternative storage systems for high-demand, high-volume content.
