Case Study: Kevin VFX achieves scalable remote VFX post-production with Sohonet's Multiport, ClearView Flex and FileRunner

Kevin VFX scales from 3Gb to 5Gb connectivity with Sohonet

The customer, Kevin VFX, a boutique visual effects company, faced challenges related to limited power and physical space in their Los Angeles office, which restricted their growth and ability to run high-power rendering workloads on-premises. Their Head of Engineering, familiar with the vendor Sohonet, sought a resilient connectivity solution to enable a migration to the cloud and support remote collaboration.

Sohonet provided its Multiport internet connection to establish a direct link into Google Cloud, facilitating the seamless migration of rendering workloads to a data center. This solution gave Kevin VFX access to greater power and resiliency while making the location of workstations transparent to remote artists. The vendor's ClearView Flex product is used for remote client streaming sessions, and FileRunner is employed for efficient, plugin-free file transfers with clients. The results included instant benefits, increased operational flexibility, and independence from their physical building's constraints.
