SUCCESS STORY

A media giant turns tags into a self-cleaning storage estate

One in-house marketing division replaced manual searches and cleanup emails with tag-driven automation across 300 million files.

One of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world runs its in-house marketing division out of Los Angeles, producing trailers, promos, key art, and creative work for dozens of brands and hundreds of releases a year. Every project leaves behind renders, proxies, versions, and temp output scattered across four separate storage platforms, and finding, checking, or clearing any of it meant command line searches and emails to whichever team owned that particular vendor. Diskover indexed everything into one catalog and layered tags on top, so lookups that took hours now take minutes and cleanup runs on a schedule instead of a chase.

What's inside:

• How one catalog covers four storage platforms without moving a single file
  
  
• Why tags replaced command line searches for engineering, media, and finance alike
  
  
• How retention policies turn cleanup into a scheduled action instead of a chase
  
  
• The dashboard view that lets three teams read the same numbers
