As the assets created in game development become increasingly large, depots inevitably grow, and the constraints of traditional block-based storage systems start to become the limiting factor in the development of major AAA titles. Textures are becoming increasingly complex:
This growth inevitably has an impact on the size of the studio’s Helix depots. As these assets are expanding to unmanageable sizes, the increased threat of data loss is becoming more and more real—be it malicious, accidental, or caused by infrastructure failure. On the PowerScale OneFS operating system, protection is configurable down to the individual file. OneFS recommends a protection level that you set for it, according to the needs of your organization.
PowerScale scale-out NAS storage can serve as the centralized depot storage platform for Helix Core, serving Helix Core master/commit servers alongside multiple edge/proxy servers from the same namespace through multiple discreet network connections simultaneously.
