# Case Studies

- [A post-production company grows from 8 people to 100 on IOPStor storage](/case-studies/a-post-production-company-grows-from-8-people-to-100-on-iopstor-storage.md): Eight people passing files from hand to hand became a hundred across video editing, 3D and After Effects, working from IOPStor storage that gives each department its own pool and its own bandwidth.
- [After its 100 TB RAID failed, a hospital chose IOPStor for storage it can rely on](/case-studies/after-its-100-tb-raid-failed-a-hospital-chose-iopstor-for-storage-it-can-rely-on.md): The hospital's 100 TB RAID failed, and the company that supplied it would not repair it. IOPStor replaced it with a 100 TB NAS and a single compute node, protected by snapshots and a disaster-recovery system that keeps a copy offsite in the cloud.
- [Six branches and a hundred users on one IOPStor hyper-converged system](/case-studies/six-branches-and-a-hundred-users-on-one-iopstor-hyper-converged-system.md): A manufacturer whose branches each held their own copy of the data now runs six sites on a single IOPStor hyper-converged system, with every employee working inside it through VMware Horizon.
- [Three hundred people sign in at nine, and nothing slows down](/case-studies/three-hundred-people-sign-in-at-nine-and-nothing-slows-down.md): Three hundred people signing in within minutes of each other brought a spinning-disk file server to its knees. Software-defined storage on enterprise SSD absorbed the peak, and has done for three years.
- [Nine days a year down, then seven years without one](/case-studies/nine-days-a-year-down-then-seven-years-without-one.md):  A logistics firm's 200 staff lost nine days a year to malware. IOPStor moved their remote desktops onto snapshotted virtual machines, with nothing to relearn.
- [One platform for trading, accounts and reporting](/case-studies/finance-trading.md): Nine servers, one per application, became fourteen virtual machines on two hosts and one IOPStor ZFS array, with hourly snapshots and a third less power.
