Content creation under a new creative paradigm from on-premises to cloud
summary
Taylor James migrates its New York HQ from aging on‑prem hardware to a full AWS cloud implementation in about six weeks, replacing MPLS and tapes with a 30 TB high‑throughput pixel store and AWS VPN client sign‑on, a custom Managed Studio launcher and NICE DCV remoting. Since April 16 the pipeline submits 2,300 Deadline jobs, renders ~150,000 frames (86 days total render time), writes 3.2 TB with 500 TB archived, and reports roughly $350k saved over three years while artists say it “feels like being back in the studio.”
