“India is producing a lot of mythological cartoons / animations and these developments are putting pressure on traditional IT systems used by movie makers. There is traction in the server and storage industry and while it is at a nascent stage it looks promising.” – Viswanath Ramaswamy, Project Lead, STG, IBM India/South Asia

Ramaswamy said, “For a 30-minute episode, there could be 90 odd blade servers (off course sizing would be required) and most of these machines run Linux.”

“The digital content creation (DCC) industry in has seen some of the biggest blade and networked storage deployments.” – Subram Natarajan, Technical Solutions Architect, STG, IBM Asia Pacific

With filmmakers going for HD resolution, storage requirements have ballooned,..

Check out this article highlighting how the need for storage and the IT infrastructure continues to grow not only in the finance/research markets, but also in those new developing economies through demand for content.

As we move to richer more dynamic content particularly in volume, the IT infrastructure needs to grow with it, in terms of storage, performance and reliability – having 1000 blades for system performance is great, but only if your application is scaled and resilient enough to perform when elements of the infrastructure is available – if we only have 300 blades can we still deliver some level of functionality?
