Overview
The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) is a professional lacrosse league with teams that travel across the U.S., playing matches, gaining fans, and energizing the sport’s growing popularity. When the PLL faced challenges with slow, unreliable media access and storage, their media services team at CHESA delivered Wasabi as a cloud storage solution for both easy remote access to data, as well as a scalable, cost-effective solution for secure backup and archiving.

Challenges
Before Wasabi, the PLL used a local server for media storage and backup, which was slow, unreliable, and difficult to access remotely. The league needed a more efficient, scalable solution to store and access expanding content.
Slow and unreliable access
Editors could only access media assets on-site—and even then, access was slow and often lagged.
Increased risk of losing content
With everything from game footage and documentary content to archive content on local servers, the infrastructure posed a risk for data loss in the event of a cyberattack or system failure.
Cost Effectiveness
PLL needed an affordable, yet reliable, cloud solution that would scale as the league continues to grow.
Wasabi made it possible for us to access media on the go, which is crucial for our remote editing team and makes working from anywhere seamless.
