poolIt: Consolidate your storage resources by aggregating multiple volumes into one!
Tiger Technology poolIt brings affordable storage virtualization to your desktop by enabling multiple physical volumes to be aggregated into one. It is ideal to consolidate your SAN, NAS, and local storage resources. With poolIt, your data can now be stored and accessed from a single pool location - you no longer need to mount multiple volumes and manage projects and files spread across multiple drives.
You can dynamically add/remove volumes from the pool without any data loss. When adding a volume to the pool, all existing files and folder structures are merged, and exposed in the resulting virtual volume while the original drives are hidden. When removing a volume from the pool, the data it contains remains intact and accessible.
stoneGate: Simultaneously and transparently access your
Tiger Technology stoneGate is an innovative virtual file system allowing multiple Windows and Mac graphics workstations to simultaneously and transparently read and write to Autodesk®’s flame, fire, flint, and inferno’s proprietary Stone® file systems for a tightly integrated workflowinferno©, flame©, flint©, fire©, and smoke© file system using standard paint, animation, and compositing workstations!
Using stoneGate, you can manipulate image file sequences directly on the stone array, without disrupting the high-end workflow. The modified sequence is immediately available for playback on the advanced system and doesn't need to be re-imported (stonifized).
stoneGate converts the hierarchical structure of the stone's Clip Library into a standard file system that maps as a local drive on the client's workstation.
Users can remotely browse through Machine, Volume, Project, Library, and Clip folders to access the individual frames. These are exposed as a standard graphic file (DPX, TIFF, Cineon, etc.) or QuickTime movies (at proxy or full resolution) that can then be manipulated using any off-the-shelf paint, editing, and compositing applications such as Adobe© After Effects©, Photoshop©, Apple Final Cut Pro©, Motion©, and Shake©.
stoneGate offers a simple and elegant approach to bridging the advanced systems and the LAN-clients worlds. By taking full advantage of Autodesk© Wiretap™ API, stoneGate does not compete for valuable system resources; does not require any server or client software to run on the advanced system, all while eliminating the need to transfer digital frames to and from a shared depository location using a push-pull model. One stoneGate license is required per connected client workstation. A single license of stoneGate provides access to multiple stone file systems. There is no server license required.
