Gear6 Showcases Rendering Application Acceleration Solutions at SIGGRAPH 2008

Leading Provider of Centralized Caching Appliances Already Adopted by Four of Leading Animation Studios

Mountain View, Calif. – August 6, 2008 – GEAR6, a leading provider of scalable caching appliances that accelerate application file performance, today announced it will be an exhibitor at the upcoming SIGGRAPH 2008 conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center from August 11 – 15.

Gear6 caching appliances are deployed by four of the industry’s leading animation studios to accelerate strategic rendering applications including RenderMan®. Because these key applications require enormous processing and storage power, they can create significant I/O bottlenecks that can negatively impact the quality of a film’s special effects as well as its time-to-market release schedule. Gear6 solutions eliminate these problems by dramatically accelerating the rendering process.

Gear6 rendering application solutions will be demonstrated showcased at the SIGGRAPH 2008 conference in Booth #1110.

Members of the media interested in scheduling an interview with Gear6 can contact Kristi Kilpatrick with Gallagher Group Communications at 925.964.0671 or via email at kristi@gg-comm.com.
