Media Entertainment

Digital effects manipulation, 3D rendering, and other staples of today’s media production industry rely on rapid processing of enormous amounts of data. When an all-digital, feature-length product can require many months of computer rendering time, there is a strong incentive for IT managers to boost data center performance and speed time-to-market.

To reduce production lags, today’s media data centers invest in high-performance HPC cluster technology, combining the power of hundreds or thousands of CPUs in the service of a highly complex rendering task. But a critical part of the performance equation is the speed at which terabytes of data can be moved between servers and storage. Mellanox® InfiniBand products maximize data center performance and productivity by delivering industry-leading bandwidth and the lowest latency.

The Mellanox® Solution

In today’s multi-core, multi-processor servers, each server can require up to 1 gigabit of I/O performance to avoid processing delays. Mellanox I/O adapters, switches, and gateways delivering up to 56Gb/s of reliable, lossless connectivity with less than one microsecond of latency to eliminate data movement bottlenecks.
