Overview

The workstation can be connected to two types of media storage.

storage devices provide storage to individual workstations, and can be made available to other Autodesk
Visual Effects and Finishing workstations via the Autodesk Wire network.
NOTE A Lustre workstation equipped with Incinerator does not use DAS storage. Incinerator storage is attached
