We did an SSA event in London with Martin before LTFS even existed. You should probably go see their stuff if you can, it's awesome.

Storage and Renderfarm requirements per department
By Rory Falloon -
Hi,
I was not present at Siggraph but I understand again during the Renderfarm BoF the topic of how studios handle the different network and storage requirements of different departments - comp/lighting/assets/animation/FX - came up. To others on SSA - how are you handling this?
It always is the case (for us at least) that FX rendering generates the most regular sustained throughput to our filer and largest data sets, so we're considering throwing in some storage specifically for the department - separate from our main isilon cluster. The aim would be to move the sustained throughput and data from our large filer, allowing a more balanced network for the other departments, whilst allowing FX to thrash out as much data as their own storage allows. A benefit of this is (hopefully) with only a set amount of storage for FX, the department would manage this data more themselves, but that might be a bit of a pipe dream.
I assume there are others out there having to segment their storage/network like this. How are you doing it? What kind of storage and network do you have behind a department like FX, if any?

OT - GoDaddy lameness
By Brian Krusic -
So I've chosen to host a website off a VPS on GoDaddy.
All seemed well for the past years or so and its actually still well.
However my account control panel has notified me of a free OS upgrade, oh cool, lets do it, FREEEEEEEE!
So I press the reprovision option as tats how I get the free upgrade and hit the error being something like;
Simple Control Panel not supported. Disable it to proceed.
There is no real that I can see to do this, so I call.
They are pretty quick to answer, only on hold for 5ish min.
Get this, its not possible to disable the Simple Control Panel which I don't use to manage my server anyways. Its a VPS after all so I do it via the normal system tools found on any OS.
Instead you must up it to some other panel, cPanel I think.
This runs an extra $5/month.
Why woud I pay $60/year to get a free OS upgrade which is free anyways?
I'm running and will continue to run CentOS 5.8x32 on it, not a big deal as its a simple web server.
I call this vampire economics; a buck here, a buck there, dayam, were is all my money goin.

Advisory: OCR Data Integrity & Xerox copiers
By Benjamin Deboute -
Hi all !
Some of you who have Xerox copiers and an administrative department
that archives paper via OCR might be interested in knowing that a
misconfiguration of their compression algorithm might have corrupted
their data : (
The other can laugh at how stupidly logical/logically stupid the bug is : )
TL;DR: OCRr'd numbers might be switched with other on some page layouts...
Quote: "Several mails I got suggest that the xerox machines use JBIG2
for compression. This algorithm creates a dictionary of image patches
it finds “similar”. Those patches then get reused instead of the
original image data, as long as the error generated by them is not
“too high”. Makes sense. "

Non-linear editing system choices...

Hi Race Fans.
Anyone feel great about an NLE product out there? Several clients have been stalling on FCP7, waiting for Apple to address the issues with FCPX, to no avail.
Any Premiere fans out there want to comment on the latest set of releases?
Anyone successfully using FCP7 with osx 10.8?
Fun stuff?

August MESS Meetup @ FMS
By John Hickson -
Forwarding the information to this event :)
-------- Original Message --------
| Subject: | August MESS Meetup @ FMS |
|---|---|
| Date: | 2013-08-01 13:41 |
| From: | Denise Cardello <denise@daystrom.com> |
| To: | John Hickson <John.Hickson@StudioSysAdmins.com> |
John, the MESS meetup will be held at the Flash Memory Summit (FMS) in Santa Clara on Tuesday, August 13th from 7-9pm. FMS highlights flash memory and enterprise SSDs, and will feature a number of sessions, workshops, and discussions on solid state storage. Because MESS is getting a lot of exposure, I am finding that the various conference chairpersons are reaching out to MESS offering free passes. I thought I would reach out to your group. If any of the SSA members are interested in attending the meetup, I, in turn, can obtain a free pass for each person that is good for the full 3-day conference. The pass does not include the pre-conference seminars on Monday. These may be purchased separately.
Let me know your thoughts. This is a great opportunity for those interested in Storage Networking.
Regards,
Denise Cardello

OT: Caller ID Rant
By Ken Spickler -
Just received a voice mail, where the Caller ID showed the name of a prominent manufacturer we do business with. Upon listening to the voice mail it turned out to be a VAR making a cold call, reading completely from a script, extolling the virtues of why I should buy my stuff from them. ?My first thought was "why is this manufacturer letting a VAR use their phones for cold calls?" ?The VAR's follow-up email showed the same phone number in the signature. ?They're Caller ID trolls, and I'm not likely to do business with anyone that practices these tactics.

Small Renderfarm recommendations?
By John Reinhard -
Unfortunately for me I was unable to attend the renderfarming BoF at Siggraph, but let me throw this out to this list. We have the opportunity to expand our small render farm 16 node render farm by about 24 nodes, but we are not tied into the old system per se, so really this is the opportunity to start from scratch. We currently have two typical work flows, one is to create in Maya>render in RendermanProServer(Tractor to manage jobs)>composite in Nuke, the other is to create in Houdini>render with Mantra(HQueue to manage jobs)>composite with Nuke. We hope over the next couple of years to be doing even more with simulations, incorporate Mari into more of our projects, and to start exploring doing shorts in 4K. I know this is a fairly broad general description of our workflow and where we are going, but considering the above descriptions of our workflow, if you could start from scratch on a small renderfarm (including a new storage configuration) what would you buy or recommend? I just finished re-reading the recent thread on Storage and Renderfarm requirements. Also are there any other pitfalls that you have run into that you could help me avoid? Has anyone tried FusionIO IOfx cards in their farm nodes? How about Telsa cards in the nodes for processing/rendering fluid/PyroFx sims? So much of this is new to us and I would hate to overlook something important, obvious or obscure; since we will probably not be able to upgrade again for another 5 years or so.
Thank you.
