The Limits of the ‘One Editor–One Workstation’ Architecture
With 4K and 8K video becoming standard, media teams need faster workflows and more efficient infrastructure. However, many studios still rely on a traditional “one editor—one workstation” architecture, leaving expensive GPU resources idle and making collaboration difficult when multi-gigabyte video files are copied between systems.

A More Efficient Architecture for M&E |
|
Infortrend delivers a virtualization solution that streamlines GPU and computing resource allocation, creating a scalable, high-performance post-production environment powered by:
|
|
|
|
Infortrend Enterprise Cloud (IEC) cluster of KS 5008U compute nodes, each featuring up to four GPUs, enabling VM deployment and optimized GPU allocation |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
EonStor GS 5024U U.2 NVMe hybrid flash storage, providing high-speed centralized media access for collaborative editing and rendering workflows running on IEC VMs |

Solution Benefits |
| |
 |
|
Optimized GPU Allocation to Accelerate Post-Production |
| GPU resources can be allocated to VMs based on workload needs: During work hours, each VM can use a single GPU for lightweight editing; during off-peak hours, GPU resources can be consolidated (e.g., multiple GPUs per VM) to accelerate rendering. This maximizes GPU resource utilization and ROI. |
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
Near-Native Server GPU Performance |
| With GPU passthrough, VMs can access physical GPUs directly, achieving up to 95% of native server GPU performance.
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
High-Performance Storage Fueling Multi-VM Collaboration |
| EonStor GS 5024U U.2 NVMe hybrid flash storage delivers 21/15 GB/s file read/write throughput, allowing multiple VMs to access large video assets simultaneously. It maintains stable, reliable performance even under heavy multi-VM workloads, ensuring smooth and efficient post-production collaboration. |
