Dublin-based Giant Animation has worked with ERA Ltd and Tyrell to scale up its infrastructure while working on its latest project.
Tyrell worked with ERA to provide on-demand infrastructure to Giant including workstations and storage.
The project began with 20 workstations and storage for an initial pilot, which progressed into a longer-term, episodic project set to last for 18 months.
Giant is also using ERA’s rendering infrastructure on-demand which can be deployed to meet the growing demands of the company’s global workforce delivering the project.
Ben Harper, managing director of Giant Animation explained: “We approached Tyrell to help us with our challenges around storage and infrastructure. We were looking for infrastructure we could rely on and was future-proofed for our evolving needs. We needed to be able to trust in the technology to enable our creative output and Tyrell found the perfect partner in ERA.
“We are confident that ERA can deliver on our needs for secure and resilient infrastructure while also providing us with significant cost savings with their on-demand render burst solution.”
