(San Antonio, Texas--August 28, 2009) Maxx Digital, RAID system integrator, manufacturer, and turnkey solution provider goes above and beyond with Final Share their affordable professional video shared storage.
Geomedia, Inc. is a production, post and VFX company in San Antonio, TX., specializing in 3D animation and motion graphics. For years they had been looking into SAN technology in order to streamline their workflow and increase efficiency. “We researched many different solutions but complexity and cost were simply too high” said Martin Jaeger, art director of Geomedia. And costs were too high, that is until he talked to Maxx Digital and learned of Final Share. “Final Share is the collaboration of our chief consultant, Bob Zelin Creative Cow leader, Maxx Digital, and a number of different partner companies,” said Ron Amborn, owner of Maxx Digital.
Bob brought together the core technology with a Mac Pro server, expandable scalable Maxx storage, Gigabit Ethernet HBA and switch for bandwidth-intensive networks with dynamic 802.3ad link aggregation, and full AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) support, all while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN switching. In other words, Bob brought scalable sharable storage at 70MB/sec to up to ten client FCP systems for a fraction of the cost of fiber.
Maxx Digital pre-configures all of the Final Share systems and performs on-site installation anywhere within the US, or iChat with support and walkthroughs. For everyone that follows Bob out there, you can have his support in person over iChat for the installation, and in some lucky customers’ cases he has been known to show up in the flesh. Once the Maxx Digital technical staff setup Final Share at Geomedia Martin had this to say, “Seeing the system play out 1080i ProRes422 HQ from five different Final Cut Suites simultaneously for the first time was a revelation! Six editorial/graphics suites share the SAN directly. No more sneakernet. No more hassles moving projects from room to room.” Final Share is the perfect solution for Geomedia's mixed editorial and motion graphics environment.
