Entertainment and Media’s Post-production Storage Crisis

Collaboration is an important requirement for post-production editing, compositing, animation, special effects, color grading, mastering, and archiving.

When those shared SAN file systems are scaled to a mid-sized or larger SAN, system performance rapidly degenerates. To effectively scale this type of SAN system means providing dedicated systems to small groups.
