Camp Pendleton, a large U.S. marine base, adjoins the city, which is chiefly residential. , Calif. -- Coraid, Inc. today announced that its EtherDrive(R) Storage platform was a contributing factor in helping Hoodwinked LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , an independent film studio, produce its new animated film -- "Hoodwinked" -- at a fraction of the normal cost. "Hoodwinked" debuted as the second-largest grossing movie during its opening box-office weekend. Production costs for a 3D animated film normally exceed a million dollars a minute. This is due, in part, to the computer systems and software required to make high-quality 3D animation. The "Hoodwinked" production team needed 28 Terabytes of reliable disk storage that could be shared by dozens of workstations. Using open source computer systems and EtherDrive Storage, Hoodwinked LLC was able to break away from expensive SAN technologies, create their own Ethernet storage pool and reduce their storage costs from $50/Gigabyte to less than $1.30/Gigabyte.
