DWARF Labs at DWARF Animation Studios in Perols, France, has adopted a high-performing, software-defined storage framework by deploying Red Hat Gluster Storage running on industry-standard servers. Enormously successful animation projects for luxury clients, such as Cartier Jewelers, prompted DWARF Labs to upgrade its technology infrastructure and embark on producing the studio’s first full-feature animated film. Red Hat Gluster Storage solution gives DWARF Labs’ artists and technologists the agility to effectively collaborate in creative and innovative ways without technology boundaries.

 

DWARF Labs chose Red Hat Gluster Storage software based on the results of its product and industry benchmarking process in which the solution ranked first in every category including storage capacity and performance and customer support. Red Hat Gluster Storage software provides a platform for effectively managing rich media content stores to match the demands of high-resolution digital video without the lock-in and high cost of traditional proprietary storage solutions.

 

The entire artistic production team at DWARF Labs uses Red Hat Gluster Storage software running on industry-standard servers. The new IT architecture is designed with storage at the heart of its rich media workload, connected to graphic design workstations and the render farm. With Red Hat Gluster Storage, DWARF Labs has created a sustainable architecture that drastically reduces data transfer times between workstations and the render farm.
