When top-end post house UNIT moved into their new
Marlborough Street facility, they found themselves needing to get
twelve Final Cut editing suites and countless Macs working
seamlessly together in order to deliver the quality editing, VFX
and finishing services their clients demanded.
Fluid integration
The new system all had to be perfectly integrated with their
unique 120TB mirrored SAN, 24-slot LTO library, multiple servers,
multiple operating systems and a render farm we were building for
them!
Our consultants helped UNIT's engineers design the new system,
acted as their main hardware supplier and then installed and
integrated the system once UNIT were ready to move.
Design and installation
Our consultant Jamie Allan explains "We are proud to have been
involved with the system design and implementation of one of the
leading facilities in the UK. Working closely with Simon Robertson,
UNIT's Head of Engineering, the expertise of our professional
services team facilitated the move of key IT infrastructure as well
as the integration of new systems. Despite the project's
complexity, we achieved all this without downtime or disruption to
UNIT's essential services, and all on time."
"This was my first time working with Jigsaw and I have to say I
was impressed," said Robertson, "Their pricing was keen, so it was
a no-brainer to choose Jigsaw to land most of our orders. The real
eye-opener was how good Jigsaw's technical sales and consultants
were, and its engineers were nothing short of exceptional."
