SGI sparks partnership with Discreet

SGI have formally joined Discreet’s infrastructure sparks partner programme.
As part of the agreement, Discreet and SGI are qualifying key elements of the SGI InfiniteStructure solution, including the SGI SAN Server family and SGI CXFSTM shared file system, to work with Discreet’s systems and software product lines.
Discreet, working with SGI, will resell SGI SAN solutions worldwide as an integral part of its high-performance infrastructure products designed to target a growing demand for robust, highly scalable shared storage environments. This demand is being fuelled by the increasing complexity of modern post-production projects combined with the rapid transition to high-resolution digital film and television formats including the emerging digital intermediate market.
“Providing a data management infrastructure that is reliable, flexible and scalable, the SGI InfiniteStructure solution can improve the workflow of Discreet’s clients, accelerate project completion and provide a digital infrastructure that will seamlessly grow to accommodate their future business needs,” said Chris Golson, senior director, Media Industries, SGI.
“The solution enables facilities to manage multiple jobs, across all the workstations and operating systems in their facilities and most importantly, optimises the time of their creative talent.”
