"But to manage the digital workflows for this new film, and to support onset processing of high-resolution media, we needed higher-performance shared storage." Factorial Recommends Quantum StorNext "When The Rebel Fleet team started to look at the next performance levl up for their unique needs, we suggested they take a look at Quantum storage," said Tim Benson, director and technology evangelist at Factorial. "Instead of focusing on capacity or bandwidth, we talked about workflow. And that discussion centered on the benefits of the Quantum StorNext platform." The Rebel Fleet chose Quantum Xcellis workflow storage with Quantum QXS hybrid storage systems for online and nearline storage. High Performance Enables Real-Time Color Grading and Fast Rendering High-performance storage also enabled fast rendering. "With the Quantum solution, we were able to crank out 150 frames of footage per second in three different formats while also supporting real-time color grading," says Urban. "Overall, this online environment delivered 6 GB per second of throughput. It was very impressive, and it helped us meet tight turnaround times." Seamless Scalability and Vast Capacity for a Mobile Environment Reliability for Today, Flexible for Tomorrow "StorNext has changed the way we work," says Urban. "It provides the performance we need plus the flexibility to support a wide variety of creative tools and processes. With StorNext, we are completely unconstrained." Additional Resources
