Storage and data management solutions provider, pixitmedia has been qualified as a trusted storage solution for Autodesk’s 3D VFX and finishing software family, Flame.
pixitmedia’s storage solution pixstor has been recognised by 3D design, engineering and entertainment software specialists Autodesk as a trusted and reliable solution for creative and media workflows that utilise the Flame product family.
The Autodesk Flame Qualification signals pixitmedia’s experience in developing a network storage solution that can match and exceed the performance of Flame-qualified local hardware storage repositories. “It’s great to have pixstor as a qualified storage solution for Flame”, said Will Harris (Flame Family Product Manager, Autodesk). “pixitmedia has built an innovative, high-performance solution that has the potential to seriously accelerate the creative workflows of our mutual customers.”
The qualification is based on an industry-validated set of tests and performance requirements, and requires storage solution vendors to conduct studies on their products when working in combination with Autodesk Flame. These results are then audited and verified by Autodesk which examines the performance of bandwidth, latency, frame playback, video rendering, and sequence scheduling within Flame of several different HD and 4K video formats.
Jamie Bean, Solution Architect at pixitmedia comments,“The Autodesk Flame Qualification is a seal of approval for pixstor and shows our ongoing commitment to providing a solution that guarantees reliable performance for our customers that use the Autodesk Flame family for finishing. We’re really pleased that pixstor is now fully recognised as a qualified and supported Autodesk storage solution. Our customers can now confidently go forward in using Flame on pixstor for their creative and media workflows with the technical support of both Autodesk and pixitmedia.”
