High-speed shared storage networks for media and broadcast, whether on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid. Come check out the blazing-fast NVMe SAN from DDP – Dynamic Drive Pool. Capable of delivering over 7.5GB/sec to a single client and a total server bandwidth of 40GB/sec, the DDP10EF delivers performance that can handle 8K DPX and EXR sequences with ease.
In other user cases the DDP10EF specifications, configurations and performance were discussed.
In this user case we focus on the DDP10EF with Flame. DDP10EF, shared storage, is self certified for Autodesk Flame.
The DDP10EF uses A/V FS as file system under the hood.
A/V FS supports hard links and comes with a unique feature called Project Caching.
Both are ideal to organize and use media files with Flame.
If you want to have a better understanding of hard links with Flame, type: “Hardlinks and Autodesk Flame” in Google and it is explained there.
Project Caching is now also a great feature with Autodesk because Flame starts to organize media into projects.
Instead of explaining here the why, type: “Organizing Projects with Autodesk Flame” in Google for an explanation.
And when a proper understanding of Project Caching is needed, type: “DDP and Project Caching” in Google. In addition select one of the Project Caching User Cases on www.ddpsan.com
Having Project Caching with media organized in project folders is more important now then ever due to the price increases of SSDs. With Project Caching shared project can be cached while other projects can be accessed from the hard disks and are stand by.
When planning a purchase of a DDP or DDP10EF a proper balance can be configured between the size of the Project Cache and the capacity of the hard disks to get the best solution for the best price.
The SSDs and hard disk can be integrated within one DDP chassis or in the case of the DDP10EF integrated with hard disk storage array(s).
