Canal 13 builds integrated workflow on Quantum to accelerate production, safeguard content and simplify operations
C anal 13, a major Chilean broadcaster known for its news, sports and entertainment programming, has deployed a fully integrated content storage and management solution built on Quantum’ s Myriad with ActiveScale.
This new Quantum-powered workflow breaks down storage silos by unifying production and archive environments, creating a seamless infrastructure that accelerates continuous production operations, streamlines workflows and ensures every bit of content
• ActiveScale and ActiveScale Cold Storage for resilient long-term archiving: To complement Myriad’ s high-performance production storage, Canal 13 deployed ActiveScale object storage as the backbone of its‘ content lake’ strategy. ActiveScale provides scalable, costpredictable storage for less frequently accessed content, ensuring valuable archives are preserved safely yet remain easily retrievable when needed for

Rodrigo Lara, Engineering Manager, Canal 13
Canal 13 is part of a multimedia company comprising the free-to-air television channels Canal 13 and T13 en Vivo, the pay-TV channels 13C and REC TV, the websites 13. cl, T13. cl and AR13. cl, the app 13Go, the radio stations Tele13 Radio, Play FM, Sonar FM and 13C Radio and the audio platform Emisor Podcasting – in addition to multiplatform content and spin-off businesses.
The addition of ActiveScale Cold Storage enables Canal 13 to store vast amounts of infrequently used media at a dramatically lower cost than cloud services without incurring egress or API fees. ActiveScale’ s multi-site resiliency is especially critical given Chile’ s earthquake-prone terrain, ensuring data remains protected even in the event of a local infrastructure
Facing growing production demands, increasingly tight deadlines and support for new media formats, Canal 13 needed to consolidate fragmented storage environments while simplifying management and reducing costs. Working with Zer Digital system integrators, Canal 13 adopted a strategic integrated workflow solution: Quantum Myriad all-flash NAS for high-performance production storage and Quantum ActiveScale object storage, including ActiveScale Cold Storage, for building a scalable, resilient content lake.
“ We needed a solution that could meet both our real-time production demands and long-term archive needs while being easy to manage and cost-effective over time,” said Rodrigo Lara, Engineering Manager, Canal 13.
“ With Quantum’ s Myriad and ActiveScale, and the support of Zer Digital, we now have a complete platform that improves performance, simplifies operations, and protects our valuable content for the future.”
