Press Release: Studio FIGURAMA (www.figurama.eu), founded by Kurzor, is the most important producer of virtual people in Central Europe with unique solutions on a global scale. The studio entered the market of large-format photorealistic 3D scanning among the first in the world in 2015. The company produces virtual humans and digital copies of human characters for the production of computer and board games, films and for entertaining art, sports, medicine. For this purpose she installed the largest photorealistic 3D scanner in the world, with the possibility of digitizing people in motion. The emphasis on quality led to the fact that, after private individuals, commercial companies and state organizations, well-known faces of show business, prominent athletes joined the customers of the company's products.
Call
During the work of the FIGURAMA studio, large amounts of unique image data are generated in fractions of a second, which must be transferred over the local network, securely stored and further processed. The loss of a single file could mean the invalidation of several hours of work and often this loss would be irreplaceable. Stored data can only be accessed by authorized persons - immediately, simply, securely. They must also be available for digital processing at several workplaces in the network. In addition to the reliability and performance of the data storage, it was necessary to ensure the small dimensions of the device andsimplicity its management, data protection and minimum requirements for service personnel. The optimal solution would be to integrate the infrastructure for processing production image data and video streams.
Solution
"We learned about Synology at an exhibition. There we were introduced to solutions for both data storage and management, as well as video stream supervision and management. We understood that it is ideal assumption for the operation of our facilities. Data management from more than 80 graphic data sources is provided by DiskStation. VisualStation VS360HD provides data control and display of video streams,"says Ľuboš Grék, manager of Studio FIGURAMA.
The unification of the management of diverse data significantly simplified system control and made operation cheaper.
"For us, the RS815+ is a platform that integrates the storage and processing of large volumes of graphic, photo and video data into one scalable and reliable system," says Ľuboš Grék, director of Studio FIGURAMA.
Flawless data security is supported by RAID 10 functions. Data is immediately and continuously available within a local network on several workstations that process large volumes of graphic data.
benefits
Synology presents a full-fledged solution for efficient and fast data access, secure data storage and integrated data processing for different types of users in one place. Learning how to work with DiskStation requires minimal effort, and setting it up with a system administrator is similarly simple.
Ľuboš the Greek says: "Absolutely exceptional compared to other manufacturers, it was for us customer support center access, which helped us fine-tune technical details that we, as non-experts, did not dare to do at first. The performance of DiskStation allowed us to move data processing from disks on network workstations directly to the disk array.”
For Studio FIGURAMA, reliability, data security and work organization have been simplified. The centralization of data management and the possibility of their parallel processing enabled significant simplification of work organization and the overall performance of the work team. The integration of video surveillance into the infrastructure from Synology is, according to Mr. Grék, the sought-after icing on the cake.
