converged infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0rose to the challenge, enabling DreamWorks Animation to render the large amount of data required to produce the film. The studio increased render capabilities to an average of 500,000 jobs a day with the use of HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8\u00a0server blades.<\/p>\n“Cutting-edge digital manufacturing requires a huge amount of compute power and orchestrated collaboration across our studios,” said Derek Chan, head, Technology Global Operations, DreamWorks Animation (DWA). “HP Converged Infrastructure ensures that our filmmakers have the technical resources they require to bring their creative vision to life and deliver amazing films to our audiences.”<\/p>\n
Serving as a foundation for the new movie were HP\u00a0servers, storage, networking, services, management software and workstations, as well as HP printers and digital rendering. \u00a0DreamWorks relied on ProLiant\u00a0servers and HP Enterprise Services in render farms across four geographic locations.<\/p>\n
Additionally, HP Z820 workstations with dual Intel Xeon processors helped artists work on large, complex scenes, HP Z800 workstations were used\u00a0\u00a0in the new DreamWorks Animation state-of-the-art recording studio, and HP Remote Graphics Software allowed\u00a0\u00a0artists across studios in Glendale, Redwood City and Bangalore to collaborate in real time on a single desktop display.<\/p>\n
HP hardware, software and services were used from start to finish in the making of “The Croods”, building on a relationship with DreamWorks that began in 2001. Through that relationship DreamWorks takes advantage of HP FlexNetwork architecture, HP Managed Print Services, HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, HP Remote Intelligent Management Center, and HP DreamColor professional displays and printers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
