Additionally, studios can use custom software applications and bring them into Amazon Nimble Studio via Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), ensuring a seamless migration from on-premises to cloud infrastructure.Īmazon Nimble Studio is the latest AWS solution for media and entertainment customers, joining the AWS Thinkbox Deadline render management application as a core capability supporting content production. The creative talent then has immediate access to high performance workstations powered by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) G4dn instances with NVIDIA Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), shared file storage from Amazon FSx, and ultra low-latency streaming via the AWS global network.Īmazon Nimble Studio gives content production studios the ability to start with as few resources as needed, scale up those resources when rendering demands peak, and spin them back down once projects are completed.Ĭontent production studios can onboard remote teams from around the world and provide them access to just the right amount of high performance infrastructure for only as long as needed-all without having to procure, set up, and manage local workstations, file systems, and low-latency networking.Īmazon Nimble Studio supports both the Windows and Linux operating systems so that artists can work with their preferred third-party creative applications. Using Amazon Nimble Studio, customers can create a new content production studio in just a few hours. All of these constraints can result in production delays, increased expenses, and lost opportunity for content production studios. This ever-growing demand causes content production studios to over-provision their compute, networking, and storage infrastructure for peak capacity, which proves expensive, difficult to manage, and hard to scale.įor example, a typical animated feature film now generates 730 terabytes of data and up to half a billion files, requiring more than 150 million core compute hours and coordination from hundreds of artists and engineers.Ĭonsumer demand for more content has also required studios to onboard talent from around the world, who then require high-powered workstations, specialized software, and high-speed storage and networking.
Increased consumer appetite for premium content and experiences has driven greater demand for compute-intensive rendering of visual effects and animations. To bring high-quality visual effects, animation, and creative content to life, studios historically have relied on local high-performance workstations connected to shared file storage systems over low-latency, on-premises networks.
