Films@59 Installs pixstor to Support its High-end Grading and Finishing

Watch this 4-minute video to learn how Films at 59 partnered with pixitmedia to replace its legacy SAN that could no longer deliver the performance, or the reliability, required to keep up with the increasing demands placed upon it.

Following an in-depth examination of the leading systems on the market with Integration Partner Digital Garage, pixstor was recommended as the “sensible choice for a leading-edge, tried and tested solution.” Coupled with further recommendations from the post-production community and a visit to pixitmedia’s Technical Lab, the Films at 59 team was confident that pixstor’s capabilities could deliver its workflow requirements.

pixitmedia delivered a complete solution for Films at 59’s Production Media Services Central Storage system, with a pixstor platform integrated with best-of-breed Dell hardware and Mellanox networking, specified to meet the Post house’s specific requirements. The pixstor system currently has six workstations attached to it: two Autodesk Flames, two FilmLight Base lights, and two Assist systems, with the capacity to add additional workstations quickly and easily. It connects Films at 59’s Avid network, Storage DNA archive system, and Object Matrix nearline storage, seamlessly integrating it in a single global namespace for maximum efficiency, visibility, and usability.
