Untold Studios Chooses Weka on Amazon Web Services for Simplicity in Cloud Implementation

Untold Studios, a UK-based independent creative studio, needed a way to run its VFX workflow entirely in the cloud without the cost, complexity, and management overhead of traditional on-premises storage and infrastructure. The studio was looking for a storage solution that could scale with demand, support globally distributed artists, and avoid a large upfront CapEx investment. Weka provided WekaIO Matrix, its cloud-native file system on AWS, to meet those needs.

With WekaIO Matrix on Amazon Web Services, Untold Studios implemented a simplified, scalable storage setup that let artists access content from anywhere while maintaining on-premises-like performance in the cloud. WekaIO also helped tier data to Amazon S3 for cost-effective storage and reduced operational overhead by eliminating manual data movement. The result was a fully cloud-based VFX workflow with greater flexibility, lower management burden, and the ability to start small and scale as the business grows.
