Tippett Studio Selects SGI as Content Creation Production Platform Provider biz.yahoo.com ``We chose to complement the high-bandwidth Octane2 IRIX systems with 25 Silicon Graphics 230 and 330 workstations. The 230 and 330 systems deliver realism and interactivity with large 3D models that increases the creative firepower of our artists, and at a great price point,'' said Christian Rice, director of technology, Tippett Studio. ``The Silicon Graphics 230 and 330 workstations support not only Windows NT and Windows 2000, they also support Linux. The benefit of the Linux system is that it is very cost-effective and very compatible with IRIX and UNIX.'' Already equipped with SGI(TM) Challenge® and SGI(TM) Origin(TM) family servers with 2.3TB of storage, Tippett Studio added the SGI 2100 server with 2TB of storage to its arsenal in preparation for expanding into producing its own full-length animated films and mixed live-action and CGI features. ``SGI is the Gold Standard for the industry -- it is the standard by which we compare other companies, especially in terms of dependability, service and tech support,'' said Jim Bloom, Business Development, Tippett Studio. ``In 1983, when Tippett Studio was founded by Phil Tippett, SGI was the only company making computers that could serve the entertainment industry. SGI is still the company we rely on because its desktops, servers and storage systems give us the power and the edge we need to complete film projects, which seem to have ever-more impossible deadlines. We plan to stay with SGI for a long time to come.'' ........ tom watson tosiwmee
