Pixar Moves To OSX
According to Macworld UK, Pixar has finally moved its Mac and Linux infrastructure of over 1,000 machines to Mac OS X. Automation options in OS X reduced the complications and setup time to just 15 minutes per computer. Pixar chose to wait till key applications required by the company could run on OS X before migrating, and OS 9 will no longer be supported within the company. Pixar’s RenderMan Pro Server, software used to create award-winning films such as Finding Nemo, was recently ported to Mac OS X.
