Art & Fact Case Study: 3-D Reality
Case Study: Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series
Data-intensive computing 3-D reality
French company turns to Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series to keep pace with client requests. Art & Fact is a small French company that produces 3-D video content for its clients, which include pharmaceutical giants such as Merck and Boehringer Ingelheim. Used for seminars and other internal events and the Internet, these videos could take considerable time for Art & Fact to produce. For example, it might take three to four days for one two-to-three-minute video. The company wanted to increase this speed and turned to Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series for extra processing muscle.
Challenges:
• Fast forward: Art & Fact needed to increase the speed in which it rendered 3-D video content for its clients
• Keep in step: It also needed to increase its capacity for producing 3-D videos to keep in step with clients’ changing communication strategies, which are shifting toward putting content on the Internet
Tested Solutions:
• Processing muscle: Art & Fact evaluated the processing power of the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series, comparing it to the Mac Pro* computer it was using to render 3-D content
• Cloud potential: The company assessed whether it could launch a cloud service using the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series processing platform
• Flying high: Art & Fact plans to introduce seven to eight server systems to provide cloud services so freelance staff can access and work on 3-D content rendering, dovetailing Art & Fact’s capacity with clients’ needs.
