Challenge
Ammo Content was growing fast, distributing video to platforms like Pluto, Tubi, and Peacock. But their storage infrastructure wasn’t keeping up. Local hard drives created access issues for remote teams. Traditional cloud providers came with high costs, poor reliability, and rigid workflows. Worse, a near-catastrophic outage nearly wiped out a major portion of their content library. With teams spread across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, Ammo needed a cloud storage solution that could support global workflows—without sacrificing speed, cost, or control.
Solution
Ammo turned to Storj to streamline content delivery and eliminate the limitations of their legacy stack. Storj buckets became the foundation of their ingest and archive workflows—handling large, complex files with ease—ensuring global availability. Media uploaded through Signiant Media Shuttle lands directly in Storj, where it’s instantly available for review and processing. Teams then finalize and drop completed packages into a second Storj bucket used for long-term storage and delivery.
Storj’s distributed design solved the latency and access issues their global teams faced, and provided peace of mind with built-in redundancy and resilience. When a previous provider failed, Storj helped migrate critical assets within 48 hours—earning Ammo’s trust when it mattered most. The team is now testing Object Mount to further streamline post workflows and eliminate their dependency on third-party file access tools.
Result
Since switching to Storj, Ammo Content has seen major improvements in speed, reliability, and cost. According to Roisin, “Having files spread out globally across Storj’s network makes access faster, and workflows smoother—especially for teams in Brazil and Mexico.” Distributed access ensures that collaborators in Brazil, Mexico, and Spain can work without lag or delays. Downloads are fast and uninterrupted—even with massive file sizes or multiple users accessing content at once.
Cost-wise, the move has saved Ammo thousands in monthly storage and egress fees. The flexibility of Storj buckets lets their operations team support everything from 250GB ProRes files to full episodic series drops with minimal overhead or friction. In a space where unpredictable surges are common, Storj gives them the scalability and control to handle anything.
Beyond performance and price, the partnership stands out. "We met Colby at the right time—and he saved the day when we needed it most." That support helped cement Storj as Ammo’s long-term storage partner—and exemplifies the ongoing responsiveness and reliability they’ve come to expect. As Roisin put it, "We highly recommend Storj to anyone looking for cost-saving cloud storage that’s easily accessible when you need it most—at global scale, with unparalleled resilience."
