IBC2022: Hammerspace M&E and Gaming Workflow and Storage Integrations

At IBC2022, Hammerspace announced an expansion of its technology alliance partners that are making the decentralized cloud a reality.

Cloud-based applications and compute clusters, remote workers, and distributed data sets have changed data access requirements for data-driven enterprise organizations. Workflows increasingly need to run across a decentralized cloud to power applications and compute with unstructured data created at the edge, in the data center, in different cloud regions and with multiple cloud vendors.

At IBC2022, the company will showcase integrations with M&E and Gaming workflow and storage partners. These integrations leverage the power of the firm’s Global Data Environment to make data available anywhere.

Autodesk ShotGrid – Special effects, animation and rendering
The integration with the company allows remote creative teams to use the ShotGrid project management software they are accustomed to for building visual effects and animations for TV shows, movie production, and video game development. Users now have their data automatically available with high-performance, local access when and where they need it via the firm’s Global Data Environment. And by leveraging the Hammerspace ability to transparently bridge different cloud regions, production managers can automatically route render jobs to more cost-effective cloud regions directly from within ShotGrid, potentially saving millions of dollars in power and cooling costs with no change to their workflows.

HP Anyware (previously Teradici) – Project management
Organizations need their applications and data available anywhere to enable remote creative teams. HP Anyware enables remote applications by providing PCoIP to deliver low latency performance for creative teams’ remote desktops and applications, enabling them to use their applications and preferred creative tools in their home offices. The company enables remote teams by providing high-performance, local access to distributed and remote data to simultaneously facilitate collaboration and local use.

Projective Strawberry – Post-production
Media and gaming workflows are demanding. Specialized solutions are required to provide the performance needed for high-resolution content to avoid overloading shared storage, prevent orphaned, duplicate or offline media files, re-utilize clips, and collaborate across multiple contributors who work remotely from each other. Strawberry structures the media asset workflow, while the firm’s software makes data available anywhere across data centers, cloud regions, and multiple clouds.

Seagate Lyve Cloud and Exos Corvault hybrid cloud local data access and storage
Unified data access with high-performance orchestration across hybrid clouds enables decentralized organizations to collaborate. The company integrates Seagate Lyve, the S3-compatible public cloud storage-as-a-service platform, and Exos Corvault, its high-density on-prem mass storage platform for edge data capture, making all data available in a consolidated, consumable resource within a Global Data Environment. Lyve only charges for storage capacity with no ingress or egress fees, making the economics simple and predictable.

Storj – Globally distributed cloud object storage with performance local data access
Storj provides cloud object storage with enterprise-grade performance, durability and security at 80% less cost. When Storj is coupled with Hammerspace, organizations can gain CDN-like performance at cold storage prices.
