Mumbai : Boston IT Solutions (India) Private Limited  announced the launch of the latest evolution in their range of server, storage, workstation and hybrid GPU compute based solutions at the Broadcast India 2010 show at the Bombay Exhibition Centre taking place in Mumbai.

Live at the event Boston will be publicly unveiling their latest generation of Supermicro based Venom GPU compute PCoIP workstations, Igloo NXStor High Availability storage appliances, BOXX Technologies Render Pro the world’s first personal dedicated rendering solution for 3D graphics, animation and compositing workflows, and much more…

At the event Boston are providing live demonstrations of the significant performance gains that are made available to creative professionals in harnessing the latest developments in hybrid GPU and CPU based technologies.

On demonstration Boston have their Venom 1U 3D workstation highlighting two significant technologies that are changing the way creative professionals use their IT hardware, namely hybrid GPU compute and PCoIP technologies. This unique solution will be demonstrated running the latest version of Bunkspeed SHOT interactive real-time rendering software that uses hybrid rendering technology that is significantly accelerated with the powerful processing power of NVIDIA CUDA enabled GPU’s.

The Boston Venom 1U 3D workstation provides industry leading hybrid compute performance by utilising the massive amounts of GPU compute power by using NVIDIA’s latest Fermi architecture based Tesla™ M2050/2070 series GPU compute processors. Featuring a phenomenal 896 GPU compute cores in addition to 12 of the latest Intel Xeon 5600 series processor cores this hybrid appliance provides staggering levels of performance. Leading software packages such as i-ray® rendering technologies from Mental images make full use of all GPU and CPU cores made available within a platform, now numerous software vendors are optimizing their suits to make advantage of hybrid computing.

Another ground breaking innovation introduced by the Venom 1U 3D workstation is Boston’s implementation of PC-over-IP, this provides a truly unique zero noise workstation solution that can be installed in a server room and extended to a desktop zero client that can be used worldwide! Our solution implements the innovative PCoIP® protocol to encrypt and encode the entire computing experience at the host machine by transmitting “pixels only” across a stand IP network to a stateless desktop client. Finally workstations can be centrally managed in a server room or datacenter whilst at the same time providing high resolution full frame rate 3D graphics and HD AV media experience with full USB interoperability.

Boston will also be demonstrating the latest evolution in their multi award winning Igloo storage platforms with the first public unveiling of their Boston Igloo NXStor storage appliance which has been designed to assure High Availability and full controller Failover within a single dedicated appliance to ensure maximum system uptime. With up to 32TB of shared SAS 2.0 storage within the same enclosure and cascades of up to 112TB with JBOD expansion within a single volume flexibility and maximum availability of your data is assured!

Based on the revolutionary ZFS file system this highly available storage appliance provides full support for leading features such as volume management, snapshots, checksum copy on write clones, automatic repair, continuous integrity checking and much more! To assure high speed data transmission a multitude of connectivity options are readily available for this platform including dual Gigabit, dual 10GbE and dual Fibre channel.

As a strategic manufacturer for BOXX Technologies Boston will also be demonstrating their highly innovative BOXX renderPRO, the world’s first personal, dedicated rendering solution for 3D graphics, animation and compositing workflows. Now, no longer will you need to wait for your workstation or stand in line for time on the studio render farm! RenderPRO is quiet, compact, and fits on top of your workstation, at your desk, or anywhere with a network connection, so now you can render the images you’ve created right at your desk. renderPRO puts dedicated rendering at your fingertips and puts rendering decisions back in your hands.
