delivers a deep dive on the capabilities of the Vega atelier fully managed remote work studio, including the secure remote architecture.

As the media and entertainment industry continues to adopt cloud and virtual collaboration, Qumulo’s flexibility of deployment, unrivaled simplicity, and impressive efficiency of management at petabyte scale is cementing Qumulo as the storage software of choice for in-house and remote creative work teams. Qumulo announced continued momentum across the media and entertainment (M&E) industry, from major film studios, streaming networks, gaming and production houses, to animation, post production and VFX companies. Qumulo continues to help innovators capture, collaborate and distribute creativity for audiences all over the world to enjoy.

M&E companies are turning to cloud based storage solutions

The global pandemic accelerated the digital transformations of many enterprises that looked to the cloud to enable remote workers and keep business running. The media and entertainment (M&E) industry, in particular, was a very fast mover to fulfill customers’ demand to stream video entertainment–and lots of it–as they quarantined at home. But before they could do this, post-production studios and corporate media producers had to figure out how to take advantage of the performance and capacity of the cloud while keeping cost control in mind. Their creative teams also needed remote access to the familiar applications and massive amounts of unstructured data required to produce high-quality digital media content on tight schedules.

Delivering a high-performance remote workstation solution

Many of our M&E customers were using Qumulo’s cloud-native file system in the data center so they were able to move to a hybrid cloud strategy quickly and run large-scale workloads in the cloud. But what about the rest? Qumulo worked with its partners and AWS to provide the virtual workstation experience and applications creatives need to do remote video editing resulting in Qumulo Studio Q on AWS a post-production environment in the cloud.

Remote work studios packed with power and enterprise security

Vega atelier extends that capability by enabling remote work studios with solutions that combine the power of AWS with enterprise security. Virtual workstations deploy in minutes enabling remote workers to collaborate on content creation projects while Vega’s managed services framework ensures workloads run efficiently and remain cost-effective. Workgroups can overcome business and IT barriers using the Vega atelier fully managed service enabling remote creatives to run optimized cloud workloads on a secure platform.

While the Qumulo Studio Q Quick Start solution deploys up to ten post-production virtual workstations in minutes; Vega atelier is a production-ready solution in a fully managed, secure environment with controlled user access, drag and drop automation and a native virtual workstation client connection broker.

Running virtual workstations on demand

Remote workers can run Adobe Creative Suite and other desktop applications in a secure environment from anywhere using Vega atelier — a fully managed studio infrastructure running on AWS. The remote video editing and post production solution combines Qumulo Cloud Q on AWS for high-performance file data management and storage, Teradici Cloud Access Software (CAS) PC over IP for a consistent workstation experience, and Armor cybersecurity to provide a secure environment on AWS.

Vega atelier managed work studios

The Vega atelier managed work studio is paired with the leading apps in performance data management, cybersecurity, demand global infrastructure, and virtual workstation compression to give users everything they need to collaborate and work efficiently.

Using Vega’s holistic, end-to-end solution, media and entertainment studios and enterprise media producers can control costs by running remote work studios on demand or incrementally, paying only for the compute they use, when they need it, at nearly limitless scale.

Vega atelier can be deployed in an existing AWS account as a single-tenant solution where the user provides their own licensing, or it can be consumed as a service where Vega Cloud provides a single bill for management, monitoring, security audits, AWS resources, and Qumulo file storage. In either scenario, Vega atelier can help reduce the AWS resource costs up to 60% by ‘parking’ the Qumulo cluster and idle workstation resources after normal business hours or between productions.
