FuseFX turns to Qumulo File Fabric and AWS to meet blistering production timeline for top-rated television comedy, The Tick

“We have built a very advanced rendering pipeline that spans our on-premises data center and AWS Cloud to meet the rigorous demands of our media production schedules,” said Jason Fotter, co-founder and CTO at FuseFX. “Our workflows and rendering applications require file storage that can scale and provide the highest performance both on-premises and on AWS. Only QF2 is able to meet the needs and demands of our content delivery pipeline.”

While working on episodes of The Tick, FuseFX set up a four-node QF2 cluster on AWS to support 1,000 32 Core AWS EC2 instances. QF2’s peak performance was 40,000 IOPS and the peak throughput was 3.87GB/sec. Even on the smallest QF2 cluster on AWS, for example, this is more performant than the highest configuration of other offerings.

The flexibility to use the cloud both for large-scale rendering and for storage helped FuseFX keep their commitments, accelerate production, and reduce the risk of downtime which can occur with on-premises render farms.

QF2 is the world’s first universal-scale file storage system. It was designed from the ground up to meet all of today’s requirements for scale. QF2 runs in the data center and on AWS, and can scale to billions of files. It handles small files as efficiently as large ones. QF2’s analytics let administrators drill down to the file level, get answers, and solve problems in real-time.
