Animal Logic brings animated movies to life through the power of Dell Technologies

Animal Logic, an Australian visual-effects and animation studio behind films like Peter Rabbit and Captain Marvel, needed to scale compute, storage and network performance to meet the heavy I/O and rendering demands of hybrid animated productions. To address these requirements it partnered with Dell Technologies, deploying solutions such as Dell EMC Networking (Z and S Series), Dell EMC Isilon storage, Dell Precision workstations, Dell monitors and Dell EMC VxRail.

Dell Technologies implemented a modern leaf‑spine network using Dell EMC Networking switches, upgraded storage with next‑generation Dell EMC Isilon (including flash tiers), and supplied artist workstations and monitors; the deployment delivered a tenfold increase in throughput between data centers, doubled storage capacity and IOPS, reduced data center footprint and power/cooling needs, and improved disaster recovery—enabling Animal Logic to sustain high‑quality, photo‑real animation workflows.
