Ultrafast Storage Fuels Incredible Hulk Battle Scenes

Soho VFX used a BlueArc Corp. Titan 2200 series server to generate approximately 150 digital camera frames -- totaling 16TB -- for the live-action movie, said Berj Bannayan, a co-founder and software engineer at Toronto-based Soho VFX. During the peak period of production, the Fibre Channel storage device delivered content at 600-700MB/sec. to the workstations and Dell servers of artists who were building the special effects for the movie.
