UT Dallas School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communications Expands Panasas HPC Storage Deployment to Support Award-Winning Work of Next-Generation Media and Entertainment Pros
Summary
Founded in 2015, ATEC helps students become what the school calls “Intentional Future-Makers” – people who bring different skills together to thoughtfully and responsibly create technology for the world of tomorrow. A recognized multidisciplinary academic research school, ATEC offers leading-edge programs that build upon the creative disciplines of Science, Technology, Art, Engineering, and Management (STEAM). Once we assign students to their storage resources, the system is pretty much hands off.” ActiveStor supports direct and parallel data flow to the 24 Red Hat Enterprise Linux blades in use at the ATEC render farm. “It seems that render practices and technologies change every six to 12 months, causing an increase in our file sizes,” said ATEC Professor Todd Fechter, area head for the animation and games program. Whether it’s building the next Dreamliner, winning a Formula One race, creating mind-bending visual effects, curing disease, or modeling climate change, the world’s leading companies trust Panasas to support their most innovative HPC projects.
