Why DMC is different

Three things media-grade IT has to get right.

Media tenants are deadline-driven. A misconfigured upload, a dropped link to the broadcast desk, a slow render share, all of these cost airtime or client confidence. Our DMC team is built around those failure modes.

High-bandwidth studio networking

10Gbps backbones for studios and post-production, 1Gbps to every desk, low-latency uplinks to clouds and CDNs. Multi-protocol storage networking on tap.

Large-file storage and shares

NAS and SAN sizing for video workloads, automated tiering between hot and cold storage, secure offsite copies for original masters.

Broadcast-grade uptime

Dual-uplink redundancy, UPS-backed studio gear, monitoring tuned for the equipment chain that gets you to air. SLA aligned to your transmission schedule.

How it works

From first visit to ongoing care.

No long sales cycle. We come on site, scope the work around your production calendar, send a written proposal, then transition you in.
  1. 1

    Production scoping

    1-3 days

    On-site visit. We understand your production calendar, equipment chain, key transmission windows. Output: a sized proposal that respects your schedule.

  2. 2

    Written proposal

    3-5 days

    Network design, storage architecture, redundancy plan, written budget. Sized to your studio configuration, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    Deployment

    2-4 weeks

    Cabling, networking, storage, monitoring. Cutover scheduled in dark windows that respect your production calendar. Most studios prefer 1am-5am cutovers.

  4. 4

    Ongoing care

    Continuous

    Tickets, scheduled maintenance, firmware updates, transmission-readiness checks. We are 30 minutes from any DMC studio.

Recent projects

What we have shipped in DMC lately.

Three engagements from the last twelve months. Anonymised where commercially sensitive, full case studies available under NDA.

TV broadcast network refresh

Q1 2026. Major regional broadcaster, full studio network refresh including dual-uplink redundancy, broadcast SAN, fail-over rehearsals across three live newsroom shifts.

Post-production storage migration

Q4 2025. 50-staff post house migrated 400TB of working storage to a new tiered NAS. Zero project downtime, dailies delivered on time across the cutover.

Creative agency Mac fleet refresh

Q3 2025. 80-staff agency, full Mac fleet refresh with deployment automation, MDM, M365 + Adobe + Figma workflow, asset shares pre-migrated.

We refreshed our entire newsroom network during a three-shift live broadcast week. GR IT scheduled the cutover in 1am-5am windows, ran fail-over rehearsals before each shift, and delivered a 6pm bulletin every day of the week without a single broadcast incident. The discipline of working around production is rare; we have not found a vendor who handles it better.
