Lenovo recently announced on 11th November 2021 that DreamWorks Animation has selected Lenovo as its Preferred Workstation Innovation Partner to deliver high-end power and performance that are needed by Dreamworks to bring their next cutting-edge animation feature films to life. This PC collaboration further strengthens the two companies’ partnership, as it expands upon Lenovo, a technology leader in the world, their current role as DreamWorks’ data centre innovation partner. As part of this multi-year agreement, DreamWorks will deploy Lenovo workstations, including the ThinkStation P620<\/a> and ThinkStation P920<\/a>, across all departments for the development of content and characters, including the highly anticipated release of the studio\u2019s upcoming film, \u201cThe Bad Guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The extension of this partnership follows the rollout of a new on-premises Lenovo computing infrastructure<\/a> designed to transform DreamWorks\u2019 data center into a high-performance, ultra-scalable and sustainable operations center for all of its content creation.<\/p>\n

There is an all-time high strong consumer demand for premium animated content around the world. DreamWorks Animation looked to Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group to find innovative workstation solutions that could keep up with its ever-scaling ambitions, increasingly complex workflows and faster production timelines. Lenovo workstations are designed for high productivity, engineered for power, performance and industry-leading reliability that allow artists to bring their creative ideas to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt DreamWorks, the ability to operate our workflows at the speed of our creative thought process is critical in capturing those instant moments of expression that shape the unforgettable experiences our animators and creative professionals develop. Workstations need to exceed the demands of our artists\u2019 relentless imaginations. Hardware needs to be an enabler; harnessing performance and speed to meet their expectations.\u201d said Bill Ballew, Chief Technology Officer at DreamWorks. \u201cWe had the opportunity to test Lenovo\u2019s ThinkStation P620 workstation and realized it\u2019s a game changer for our workflows. Built on the AMD Ryzen\u2122 Threadripper\u2122 PRO architecture, the ThinkStation P620 drives new and improved performance for multi-threaded application environments that our team can take full advantage of.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

From 3D modeling, rigging, surfacing, and simulations to high performance animation and creating hyper-photorealistic renderings, DreamWorks Animation specialists, artists and engineers alike leverage high performance compute capabilities. By relying on the flexibility and future-proofed platforms that Lenovo\u2019s workstations deliver, the DreamWorks\u2019 team can focus on their creative ambitions knowing they are equipped with the world-class technology necessary to meet those complex workflows – now and in the years ahead. In addition to the Lenovo ThinkStation P620, DreamWorks Animation will also be able to take advantage of Lenovo\u2019s most advanced dual processor workstation, the ThinkStation P920. Built with the latest generation of Intel\u00ae Xeon\u00ae processors, the workstation\u2019s extreme performance will help DreamWorks accelerate their most challenging workflows in a production studio environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to expand our partnership with DreamWorks Animation and equip them with workstations that help accelerate their increasingly demanding workflows,\u201d said Rob Herman, Vice President of Lenovo\u2019s Workstation and Client AI Business Unit. \u201cOur workstation collaboration further exemplifies Lenovo\u2019s ability to holistically support our customers with the most advanced technology solutions available, allowing them to innovate faster and transform their respective industries.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
