Spend more time creating with the most comprehensive set of cloud capabilities for content production
Faced with unprecedented audience demand for new content and growing adoption of remote production, studios use AWS to quickly set up remote artist workstations, editorial workflows, collaboration platforms, and rendering. With AWS, you spend less time managing hardware and render farms, and more time creating and collaborating using virtual workstations that run on AWS GPU instances.
Benefits
Set up a creative studio in hours instead of weeks, with near-limitless scale and access to rendering on demand across AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure. Amazon Nimble Studio is the fastest way to get started, with everything you need to go from sketch to final deliverable, including virtual workstations, storage, and integrated render farm. Free your artists to focus on creative output, not machine render times.
