"Digital Animation and the Grid"

Presentation about what NetApp is doing in the digital animation space, 
including their new ONTAP 7G functionality with FlexVols, FlexClone, and 
FlexCache.

Artists and technologists continue to stretch the bounds of digital 
animation technology, developing more realistic models that require 
increased processing capabilities and more flexible and capable data 
management approaches. Scale-out computing architectures employing Linux 
clusters have been at the core of these new approaches. These architectures 
stress traditional storage architectures, requiring the same "scale-out" 
mentality to be applied to the storage infrastructure.

Network Appliance storage has been employed by some of the most prominent 
digital animation houses in the production of recent and current features. 
This presentation will introduce some of the challenges that these and other 
digital animation teams face in deploying scalable compute and storage 
architectures, and provide illustrative examples of some of the solutions 
employed to date. Introduction to NetApp's newest software release, ONTAP 
7G, and its key features that support grid computing models. And, the future 
of scale-out storage architectures and NetApp's approach.
