Lucasfilm Ltd. Invests in HP Technology
Palo Alto, CA; August 30, 2005
Lucasfilm will use HP Adaptive Enterprise solutions to generate new video games, visual effects, and animation, as well as store and manage its business applications. The HP technology will be deployed at Lucasfilm's new Letterman Digital Arts Center in the Presidio of San Francisco and at the company's Singapore operations.
Lucasfilm will roll out up to 1000 high-performance HP workstations powered by Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors for the production of its visual effects and video games. The HP workstations put unprecedented power in the hands of artists and developers as they create video games for the new generation of consoles. They will also be used to produce the visual effects, rendering, compositing and editing for which Lucasfilm is world renowned.
In addition, HP Services is working closely with Lucasfilm to deploy a storage environment to securely store and archive critical business information.
The HP xw9300 Workstation environment at Lucasfilm will run both Linux and Windows XP operating environments in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes, with in-house software applications for creation and editing.
Lucas visual effects and game development requires the most powerful workstation configurations available. The 64-bit dual processor, dual-core and dual-graphics HP workstation is designed for customers with such intensive computing demands.
The HP xw9300 Workstation's performance and visualization capabilities are enabled by the processing power of two AMD Opteron processors and advanced 3D graphics capabilities made possible by NVIDIA's dual PCI Express x16 graphics.
Lucasfilm selected the latest HP StorageWorks offerings for its business applications. With a 35-terabyte capacity, the HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array and Cisco MDS 9509 is a powerful, high-end disk storage system delivering "zero downtime" for mission-critical environments.
The system incorporates HP software innovations for single-system management, remote copying and cross-continental disaster recovery. The HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array offers Lucasfilm the most advanced solution available to ensure business continuity and asset protection.
