Blue sky purchased the sun blade x6250 server module through sun's try and buy plan, which allows users to evaluate the Sun System for 60 days in their own environment without paying, in addition, due to comprehensive technical support, users do not need to take any risks. After the evaluation period, users can purchase the Sun System at a price of 40%.

 

The sun constellation system used in blue sky is very powerful: 10 Sun blade 6048 cabinets, including 480 sun blade x6250 server modules, each with two Intel Xeon 5400 series Processors; 120 sun ultra 24 workstations, each with an Intel Core 2 processor; Sun's enterprise installation service. After fully implementing Sun's solution, blue sky has achieved 4 times higher performance than before, so that it can perform digital rendering faster and render more images in less time.

It provides powerful new design tools for blue sky designers, so that they can produce images for movies in a shorter time.

Lisa sieker, vice president of the System Department of sun, said: "Sun's collaboration with blue sky on this cartoon is based on our innovative open network system and our in-depth understanding of the high performance computing market, especially in the current challenging economic situation, such innovation and in-depth understanding of the market are needed. The combination of the Sun blade system and Sun ultra workstation provides compelling performance and energy efficiency, helping us defeat our competitors and win customers ."

The blue sky needs to expand the computing capacity for "Ice Age 3: Dawn of dinosaurs" to catch up with the tight production time and render more digital content in a shorter time. Blue sky also wants to create an indoor 3D version for the movie, which requires higher processing performance.

At the same time, blue sky also requires a server with a compact design, ultra-high energy efficiency, fast cooling, and outstanding cost effectiveness. Blue sky purchased sun hardware through the sun try and buy plan after evaluating similar server solutions of HP and angstrom.

Carl Ludwig, chief technology officer of Blue Sky Studio, said: "Sun has an outstanding engineering reputation. After using sun products, we can better understand this. Such excellent technology and the same outstanding price bring great value to our company and our work ."
