OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
Hewlett-Packard has been selected by The Hoyts Corporation to provide the technology infrastructure for its new digital cinema conversion project that will be rolled out across Australia.
Hoyts is undertaking conversion of its cinemas
to digital following advances in digital cinema, including what the
company says is the “exciting new wave of 3D movies” which it said
prompted the project.
According to Hoyts, Director of Enterprise Servers, Storage and
Networking HP South Pacific, Paul Robson the company’s entire cinema
circuit Australia-wide will be converted to full digital projection,
with HP server specialist Daraco Services and networking specialist
eintellego, commencing the full deployment in early 2010.
Robson said the conversion would include 32 sites and over 300
screens, with installation of the latest 3D technology including
specialised projectors and playout servers.
According to Robson, HP servers and storage solutions will be used to
run critical theatre management systems both centrally and at each
site. The HP equipment chosen for the project will underpin the
networking of all digital cinema equipment within Hoyts’ cinema
complexes.
“Digital cinemas require reliable infrastructure, to ensure patrons
have a good experience and become return visitors,” said Paul Robson,
Director of Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking HP South
Pacific. “The powerful combination of HP servers, storage, networking
and the Hoyts theatre management system will deliver the performance
needed to serve the latest rich digital movies.”
Hoyts said it had selected HP because of the “quality of their products
and services, based around a highly scalable end-to-end solution.”
