How VFX Studios Use EonStor GS U.2 Storage to Bring Imagination to Life
 
In visual effects (VFX) production, professionals work with a variety of high-resolution files, including extensive amounts of video footage, complex 3D models, and detailed animations. To transform their creativity and imagination into captivating visuals, they require a storage solution that enables multiple users to efficiently access and write large volumes of data at the same time.
 
Below is an example of how a powerful storage solution streamlines VFX workflows and meets the demands of high-performance production.
 
 

Use Case Scenario

A post-production house requires a storage solution to handle demanding VFX workloads, including simultaneous reading and writing of data. In this environment, 10 workstations run Nuke to process visual effects on 4K/8K DPX video files concurrently. The storage system needs to provide 300TB of usable capacity for ultra-high-definition content and meet throughput requirements of 16GB/s for reading and 5GB/s for writing.*

* A 4K DPX video requires around 800MB/s of throughput, while an 8K DPX video demands about 3GB/s. With seven workstations processing 4K videos and three processing 8K videos, the total read throughput is approximately 16GB/s. As VFX workflows typically involve 70-80% read and 20-30% write operations, the necessary write throughput is at around 5GB/s.
