Challenges

Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc. is looking for a reliable partner to design and supply a best-in-class IT infrastructure to upscale their performance, especially in post-production. The key concern was to find a high-performance computing solution that supported the high-level computing to be carried out at Deluxe. As well as delivering best-in-class infrastructure, Deluxe wanted to look to the future and install compute nodes to perform high-volume render tasks with less footprint in the data centre, the solution should be able to be scalable at a competitive price, and with minimal or no disruption. Finally, given the fast pace of the media world and demanding deadlines, Deluxe required a solution that delivered not only fast performance but also supported by Deluxe and comprehensive technical support.

Objectives

  • Obtain a high-performance computing solution to handle the media workloads and demanding deadlines

  • Install compute nodes to perform high-volume render tasks with less footprint in the data centre

  • Competitive price, with minimal or no disruption

  • The solution must deliver fast performance, supported by Deluxe and comprehensive technical support

Implementation:

After iterating on design options, DiGiCOR delivered a high-density, power-efficient blade architecture tailored for Deluxe’s render workloads—maximising rack space, throughput, and future expansion.

Step-by-step implementation:

  1. Compute & chassis deployment: Installed 6× 7U DiGiCOR enclosure chassis hosting 60 nodes—each with 4× high-core CPUs, high-capacity memory, SSDs for high I/O, and 10G switches with 10G uplinks.

  2. High-density SuperBlade rollout: Used SuperBlade to aggregate power/cooling/networking at the chassis rear; packed up to 10 TwinBlade (20 nodes) per 7U, delivering >50% density savings (vs twenty 1U servers/20U) and enabling up to 120 nodes + 24 switches per 42U rack.

  3. Efficiency & future-proofing: Standardised on a common, interchangeable blade architecture with CPU-upgradable modules; consolidated PSUs/fans per chassis to lower per-server power and simplify maintenance.

Featured Solutions

  • Supermicro SuperBlade Enclosure
  • Supermicro Processor Blade SBI-7228R-T2X

The Result

This resulted in a solution that met Deluxe’s needs with support technicians who understood the complex and often competing demands of the media industry. High computing at a competitive price was a key priority for Deluxe to be productive and competitive in a highly competitive industry. They required a solution that offered high computing with minimum disruption to match the demands of post-production. Their selection of the DiGiCOR Blade solution certainly reflected this priority.
