Region
June 1st, 2005 - NetApp

Film Works (743 Seward St.)
- Afterwards - Alessi Italian

Speaker
- Network Appliance senior director
Bruce Moxon
"Digital Animation and the Grid"
Presentation about what NetApp is doing
in the digital animation space, including their new ONTAP 7G functionality
with FlexVols, FlexClone, and FlexCache.
Artists and technologists continue to stretch
the bounds of digital animation technology, developing more realistic
models that require increased processing capabilities and more
flexible and capable data management approaches. Scale-out computing
architectures employing Linux clusters have been at the core of
these new approaches. These architectures stress traditional storage
architectures, requiring the same "scale-out" mentality
to be applied to the storage infrastructure.
Network Appliance storage has been employed
by some of the most prominent digital animation houses in the
production of recent and current features. This presentation will
introduce some of the challenges that these and other digital
animation teams face in deploying scalable compute and storage
architectures, and provide illustrative examples of some of the
solutions employed to date. Introduction to NetApp's newest software
release, ONTAP 7G, and its key features that support grid computing
models. And, the future of scale-out storage architectures and
NetApp's approach.
