Virtual file system enabling raw image manipulation of Autodesk® Stone FS®

Tiger Technology stoneGate is an innovative virtual file system enabling Windows(1)-based graphics and animations workstations to tap directly into Autodesk® Media & Entertainment Stone® file system. Traditional advanced systems vs. LAN-client workflow requires inferno®, flame®, flint®, fire®, and smoke® artists to “publish media” onto an external repository server, where LAN clients can access and manipulate the digital frames. When done, frames must be re-imported back, or “stonifised”, into the advanced system for viewing and/or finishing.

MetaSAN iSCSI

Enabling SAN benefits at a NAS price

MetaSAN iSCSI delivers all the same true SAN shared storage benefits as MetaSAN in a tailored solution that leverages cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet technology.

In the past, DCC professionals interested in collaborative production, yet challenged with limited budgets, faced specialized and expensive options or had little choice but to turn to NAS for shared storage as a lower cost alternative to Fibre Channel-based SAN. MetaSAN iSCSI solves this dilemma by leveraging iSCSI’s inherent low protocol overhead; allowing for more efficient use of the Gigabit Ethernet. This translates directly into higher effective bandwidth and increased performance – enabling the delivery of true SAN shared storage benefits at a comparable NAS price point.
