BACKGROUND
Eldon Snelgrove is a freelance 2D artist who specialises in the use of Autodesk Flame visual effects, finishing, and colour grading software at his company Eldonvfx Ltd, as well as running Post Production at We Love Images, a digital creative studio. Eldon required a storage system with high throughput capability as well as RAID redundancy for the secure storage of large amounts of client data assets. As his workload increased, the existing infrastructure was not adequate and a high performance RAID storage system that could be easily incorporated into his existing Mac setup was needed.
