Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - Sun movie ?

Blue Sky Studios, a wholly-owned unit of Fox Filmed Entertainment, deployed Sun Blade servers and Sun Ultra workstations for the rendering of its new animated feature Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, giving them four times better performance than their previous solution.

Blue Sky deployed a Sun Constellation System consisting of 10 Sun Blade 6048 chassis with a total of 480 Sun Blade X6250 server modules, each powered by two Intel Xeon processor 5400 series; 120 Sun Ultra 24 workstations powered by the Intel Core 2 processor; and Sun's Enterprise Installation Services. After full implementation, Blue Sky reaped performance that was four times faster than their previous solution, allowing them to render digital frames faster and create more frames in less time.

Since yesterday I'm really excited about Sun Cloud. From what I've seen, Sun Open Cloud Computing is more powerfull solution then AWS Amazon. Check how simple you can drag&drop hole environment then select hole or part and create "clone" for HA - Impressive!
