We have techincal white papers which can be shared, that were generated from a team of professionals that have brought state-of-the-art Storage and Networking to The Jim Henson Company in 2014. Players involved are (1) Jorg Mohnen (2) Bill Shortell (3) Paul Evans (4) Tom Luckett and (5) Mark Noland. Henson/Illuvatar/Daystrom/Brocade/FusionIO. The one technology we have proven and in place at the Jim Henson Studios JHCS is the technology integration of FusionIO ioFX cards that when RAID'd together form a pure and extremely fast storage component to edit 4-4-4-4 LOSSLESS RAW footage (DPX, CIN, et cetera) with no crashes or glitches in Adobe Premiere / Final Cut. The MAGIC is that we can do this across 4-6 edit bays at 4K, Simultaeously. There is a white paper we have prepared if anyoen wished to invest in this technology component. The second technology we have deployed is RDMA over NFS. We first completed this tech cross infiniband. But are now advancing with a CHIP manufacturer to make this available across ETHERNET!!!!! Players invovled are (1) Jorg Mohnen (2) Bill Shortell (3) Paul Evans (4) Tom Luckett (5) a "guy in Asia". These 10G NIC PCI-Express cards are now being produced for the sole purpose to avoid InfiniBand and make it avail for Ethernet, and we have ordered the first set of cards for the Jim Henson Studios arriving next month. So it IS RDMA over NFS over Ethernet. If anyone want to knwo more about what we are doing, and wishes to invest, please contact me at jmohnen@creatureshop.com Greetz. |
