Case Study: Boxel Studio achieves cloud-first VFX scaling with CenterGrid

Boxel Studio targets 100% cloud-based operations by 2026 with CenterGrid

Boxel Studio, a global visual effects and animation company, faced challenges scaling its hybrid on-premise infrastructure to meet growing project complexity and support its fully remote artist workforce. Their need to quickly scale GPU workstations, manage burst rendering, and reduce hardware overhead led them to partner with CenterGrid and its Virtual Studio Services to begin a strategic migration to the cloud.

By implementing CenterGrid's solution, Boxel Studio gained elastic capacity to handle peak demand, rapidly onboard new artists, and reduce overhead with a clear roadmap to full cloud operations. The tailored solution included optimized workstations, intelligent storage architecture, and flexible rendering power. CenterGrid provided a trusted partnership and expert guidance, setting Boxel on a path to fully migrate all artist workstations and decommission its on-prem infrastructure by mid-2026.
