The HP IO Accelerators

Entertainment

HP IO Accelerators: Powering Productivity and Creativity

HP IO Accelerators eliminate the I/O bottleneck that is the most common obstacle to entertainment application performance. HP and Fusion-io offer visual entertainment applications incredible read and write bandwidth as well as industry-leading, low-latency IOPS.
HP and Fusion-io benefit the visual entertainment industry in the following ways:

  • Powers performance to improve productivity and enable creativity
  • Improves pipeline efficiency and asset management
  • Safeguards intellectual property with advanced enterprise data protection
  • Enables work without proxies in full resolution at full frame rate, in any resolution and in stereoscopic 3D

Prime Focus Makes Clash of the Titans 3D in Just Eight Weeks with Fusion-io

Under a tight deadline, innovative studio Prime Focus replaces disk arrays on projection systems with Fusion-io technology to greatly improve productivity and system reliability.

“With typical VFX projects, we complete about 20-30 shots per day. The ioDrives scaled our data load capabilities by about twenty times. This improved our productivity about 2-4x.” -Sean Konrad, Project Manager for Stereoscopic Conversion, Prime Focus

Powers Performance to Improve Productivity and Creativity

Fusion-io eliminates the DRAM constraints that plague most entertainment applications. Fusion Powered desktops help:

  • Compositors play back nearly instantly and track as fast as the GPU can process data
  • Editors work at full resolution, without the noise and heat of disk arrays
  • Image and paint artists sort and load high resolution images quickly
  • Encoders/transcoders convert to different formats or resolution in a fraction of the time
  • 3D content creators save “on the fly,” undo/redo, or preview work without the wait

Improves Pipeline Efficiency and Asset Utilization

HP IO Accelerators enhance the project management pipeline by eliminating “backend” slowness that can hold up artists’ work. It also lets studios and artists maximize the utilization and investment on today’s advanced parallel GPU systems.

Protects Intellectual Property

For many artists and studios, digital content literally is the business. Protecting that data is a must. Fusion-io solutions offer advanced enterprise data protection, ensuring failure never compromises data. For more information, see Fusion-io: A New Standard in Enterprise Reliability.

ioFX for HP Workstations

New Fusion ioFX memory tier bridges the gap between creative potential and application performance in the professional production pipeline. ioFX accelerates leading creative applications freeing time for visual artists to explore more ideas, even under today’s tight deadlines.
ioFX is available via the HP 3PO process.  Learn more
