Digital FilmWorks, a leading producer of
motion picture digital effects, uses ADIC's CentraVision file system to manage its Fibre Channel
Storage Area Network (SAN) and give itself a competitive edge.

When it can take more than 2.4GB of data to represent a single second of film footage, it's easy to see
why storage management is a business-critical task for anyone in the world of digital editing. At Digital
FilmWorks (DFW), serverless SAN technology dramatically reduces the time needed to process data,
giving the company an advantage in a highly competitive field.

"In some ways, digital effects work faces the same problems as any business with large amounts of
data that needs to be shared between different users" explains Peter W. Moyer, DFW's president. "We
just see bigger files and more time pressure. In a simple effects workflow sequence, a single frame --
up to 100 MB -- might need to be used four times. One workstation cleans up the image. A second
might use the frame as a reference to create a new digital image that will be added to it -- a futuristic
car, for example. A third might lift an image from the master and alter it for use somewhere else. And a
fourth would assemble all the pieces into a final composite. All of them need access to that image." snip<>
