Background

The situation

A Forest River recreational vehicle
Forest River's marketing team runs the creative workflows behind its product content. That work is the demand this storage architecture was built to handle.

Forest River's marketing team runs demanding creative workflows, with heavy file transfers and real-time collaborative rendering, and they kept hitting intense data bottlenecks. They needed storage tuned to how the team actually works, and an advisor they could trust to pick on merit.

A lot of providers just sell whatever storage sits on their line card. Forest River wanted the platform that actually fit the work, and a straight answer about which one that was.

“Instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all product, Topping Technologies acted as a true neutral advisor to find the right fit for our technical challenges. They thoroughly assessed our marketing team's intense data bottlenecks and objectively evaluated multiple platforms before choosing OpenDrives. This vendor-agnostic process gave us complete confidence that the solution was selected solely for its performance capabilities rather than a brand partnership. The resulting deployment seamlessly handles our significant file transfers and real-time collaborative rendering without any system lag. Thanks to their unbiased expertise, we ended up with a tailored infrastructure that truly maximizes our team's creative productivity.”
