Post Production
SGI ArcFinitiHigh performance and highly scalable production solutions with SGI's share filesystem are complemented by a data management ecosystem for tier virtualization and digital asset management to satisfy the industry's insatiable need to scale. With the continuing shift to file-based acquisition and growth requirements caused by the move from 2K to 4K and stereoscopic, SGI can help manage the ever-increasing number of files and performance needs in your business. Deluxe Digital in the UK uses a range of SGI products and services from tape libraries and automated archiving software to high-speed real time storage capable of delivering multiple 4K streams. This is echoed in most of the major DI facilities in Hollywood at companies like Efilm, Technicolor and others.

Sports
SGI ArcFiniti Sports companies worldwide rely on SGI to help build automated systems for both production requirements as well as to manage large archives of their valuable content. The National Basketball Association in the US leverages SGI's active archive solutions to house over 10PB of footage in an easily accessible virtualized environment. This automated system serves both production needs, but also services clients as well as with custom content "to order" from the NBA website.

Broadcast
SGI ArcFiniti Moving to tapeless workflows has created growing pressure on production IT infrastructure. Solutions like the ArcFiniti network-accessible archive solution are helping these customers consolidate silos of disk into a centralised tapeless environment, thus allowing them to cost-effectively store and protect vast amounts of data in a user-friendly environment. RTL II, a broadcaster based in Germany, uses 2.4 Petabytes of our high speed MAID storage for a high capacity, dense nearline content store that is incredibly power efficient.
