Innovators partner to create better animation
production experience
Alibaba Cloud, the data intelligence backbone
of Alibaba Group, and Animal Logic, one of the world’s leading
independent creative digital studios, have announced a partnership
to meet the growing and demanding requirements of media production.
Animal Logic has started backing-up its on-premise production
content onto Alibaba Cloud’s world-class computing platform.
Through this partnership, the parties hope to drive efficiencies of
media production by utilising more cloud computing
technologies.
As one of the world’s most recognised digital production
studios, which has created animation and visual effects for award
winning films including Peter Rabbit, The LEGO Movie 2, Captain
Marvel and Happy Feet, Animal Logic requires a high-performance
cloud storage platform that can quickly scale up for backup
requirements, especially during peak production periods, in which
150TB of data can be generated in a 24-hour period. Animal Logic
required a partner that could not only provide them with secure
data protection capabilities, but also secure backup solutions for
the increasingly large amount of data generated within a short
period of time.
“Our partnership with Alibaba Cloud will provide us with the
best technology to secure our content more efficiently,” says Darin
Grant, Animal Logic’s Chief Technology Officer. “With Alibaba
Cloud, we have the capability to backup large amounts of data and
in turn, operate seamlessly even during our busiest times.”
Alibaba Cloud, recognised by Gartner as one of the world’s top
three cloud computing companies, can meet the demanding
requirements set by Animal Logic by providing its first-class
storage solutions. To protect storage safety, and enhance the
approach to Disaster Recovery, Alibaba Cloud designed a
comprehensive storage gateway for Animal Logic and created private
networks to minimise disturbance during data transfer. The data
during transfer will also be encrypted to enhance the level of
security.
Alibaba Cloud and Animal Logic will continue working on future
cross-regional storage and backup projects, large scale rendering
farm requirements and migration of legacy applications to the
cloud. These projects will support Animal Logic’s multi-cloud,
whilst retiring a number of critical legacy applications, and
ageing on-premise hardware.
“Alibaba Cloud is thrilled to announce our partnership with
Animal Logic, in which we will bring increased efficiency and
safety to the artists at Animal Logic and in turn, push the
boundaries of animation and VFX to a new level,” said Raymond Ma,
General Manager for Alibaba Cloud in Australia and New Zealand.
Alibaba Cloud’s cross border network covers 20 regions and 61
availability zones globally. It is also the first Cloud provider to
fulfil the additional requirements of Germany’s Cloud Computing
Compliance Controls Catalog (C5) and has more than 70 security and
compliance accreditations worldwide.
