| Avere Systems has announced that 100 percent of the top 12 blockbuster films in 2013 were rendered using Avere technology, including the Oscar-winning film, "Gravity." Building on this success, to date in 2014, 80 percent of this year's top 10 box-office hits have used Avere solutions to render their special effects. "We considered a number of options, and the Avere FXT Edge filers proved to be the best solution, giving us cost effective and scalable performance, the ability to easily drop the technology into our existing environment and excellent customer support," said Mark Day, director of engineering at Rising Sun Pictures, a VFX specialist with credits including "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows" and "Gravity." "With the Avere deployment, we're experiencing six times faster performance -- a render job that previously took six days, for example, now takes just 24 hours. We're able to keep our artistic and production teams working efficiently."
Avere’s NAS Edge Filer technology has powered the visual effects for some of the biggest blockbuster hits in 2014, including: "Avere's Edge filer solution is clearly resonating with the leading VFX studios and they are seeing impressive, measurable results," said Ron Bianchini, president and CEO of Avere Systems. "We intend to continue growing with the media and entertainment industry through 2014 and beyond." | |||
