American animation studio DreamWorks Animation is integrating HP Cloud Services with Panzura’s Global Cloud Storage System to offer an integrated environment for file sharing and project collaboration.
The addition of HP Cloud Services with the Panzura Global Cloud Storage System will enable the DreamWorks Animation production teams across three studios with efficient cloud-based data storage and augment DreamWorks’ on-premises HP IBRIX Storage deployment.
The combined storage system now allows low-cost, distributed NAS, active archiving and tapeless data protection plus disaster recovery.
DreamWorks Animation Technology Global Operations head Derek Chan said HP Cloud Services integrated with the Panzura Global Cloud Storage System will enable DreamWorks to produce content through a global network that ties together its distributed teams.
"In addition, the massively scalable low-cost tier of storage provides a platform for archiving reusable content in a central repository, while offering inherent data protection that eliminates the need for tape backup and stringent disaster-recovery planning," Chan said.
HP Cloud Services is a component of HP’s broader Converged Cloud approach and these services provide public cloud infrastructure services that enable developers, independent software vendors (ISVs) and enterprises of all sizes to build the next generation of web services.
Panzura’s cloud-integrated Global Cloud Storage System brings local network-attached storage (NAS) capabilities to a distributed network of sites in globally integrated enterprises. It provides the full features, performance and security of local NAS with complete cloud integration.
