Video: IT challenges at Lucasfilm
At the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, Lucasfilm’s director of IT operations, Kevin Clark, spoke about the difficulties in networking and providing data storage for their large collection of companies–including locations in Singapore and the remote Marin Headlands. He discusses how they managed to move to a new facility in the middle of production for Star Wars: Episode III, and how they’re looking ahead, with advances like running private fiber lines right to desktops.
