cycles that allow artists to experiment more freely. Meanwhile, the company’ s ThinkStation P620s workstations delivered a 25 % performance increase over previous systems.
“ Based on our long-standing relationship and Lenovo’ s consistent delivery excellence, expanding our collaboration was a natural next step,” says Kate Swanborg, SVP of Technology Communications and Strategic Alliances at DreamWorks Animation.“ This deepens our collaboration and gives DreamWorks the flexibility and operational scale we need to fuel our business ambitions and deliver world-class filmmaking.”
Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure tackles animation’ s feast-or-famine workloads Animation studios face a unique challenge. Workloads swing wildly between quiet pre-production phases and render-intensive crunch periods that can overwhelm even the most robust infrastructure. DreamWorks’ solution lies in Lenovo’ s TruScale Infrastructure as a Service, a consumption-based model that scales compute resources up or down to match production demands.
“ Given the dynamic nature of the film industry, where workloads ebb and flow with production cycles, DreamWorks is looking for a flexible solution to scale compute resources on demand,” says Patricia.“ Our consumption-based model will enable DreamWorks to align its infrastructure capacity with evolving production timelines – scaling up when demand peaks and avoiding the burden of large capital investments.”
