HP collaborates with DreamWorks
HP has announced that DreamWorks Animation SKG selected HP technology to produce the technically advanced film to date, "Puss in Boots", launching in theatres soon.
For "Puss in Boots", HP ProLiant BL460 blade technology, geographically dispersed in five server render farms across the United States and India, provided peak compute power at crucial stages of production. The blade servers powered an unprecedented 117 terabytes of data and more than 60 million render hours.
"As with all of our films, "Puss in Boots" required powerful systems to support the digital demands of our creative teams. Knowing that we have the support of our partners at HP allows us to free our artists from technical limitations, letting them focus on creating the most powerful 3-D CG experiences," said Ed Leonard, Chief Technology Officer, DreamWorks Animation SKG.
"Our decade-long collaboration with DreamWorks has challenged HP to develop technology that continually meets the intense, high-performance needs of the world's best digital animators. HP effectively serves as an infrastructure extension of a premiere Hollywood animation studio providing cutting-edge technology to support some of the most creative minds in film and animation," said Santanu Ghose, Country Head, Converged Infrastructure Solutions, HP India.
In addition to jointly developing the HP DreamColor technology in HP printers, DreamWorks and HP also developed the billion-color HP DreamColor Monitor, which surpasses performance of any other LCD display available.
HP's premier client event, HP DISCOVER, takes place from November 29 to December 1 in Vienna, Austria. The event showcases how organizations can get started on their Instant-On Enterprise journeys.
