for cloud rendering.
"The initial choice of PixStor as our
storage infrastructure for London
was really a no-brainer, as I had used
the system at two other companies
previously and knew
that it would be the
right solution for
Milk,"
said
Dave
Goodbourn, Head of
Systems, Milk.
"When we opened
the Cardiff facility,
rather than have a
separate island of
storage we were able
to connect the suites
to our London storage
with barely any delay.

We don't treat Cardiff as a separate
entity - from an infrastructure point
of view it's like we've added another
floor in London, but for a fraction of
the cost."
Pixit Media's PixCache accelerates
rendering by transferring a single
copy of the data requested to multiple
private cloud render instances from
existing on-site storage.
PixCache also supports bursting
to public cloud with Google Cloud
Platform.
PixCache functions are resident as
standard within PixStor architecture,
so Milk simply added a server in
Cardiff in order to extend the system
and effectively create a global browse
cache.
