One platform for every stage of VFX hybrid cloud workflows.

VFX is the most demanding workload in media. Frame sizes climb, simulations scale, and render queues grow. Pixitmedia feeds on-prem render farms at full bandwidth, extends to the cloud on demand, and keeps archived shots instantly accessible, all on a single architecture.

VFX Workflows Push Storage in Three Directions at Once

VFX is the most demanding workload in media. Frame sizes climb, simulations scale, and render queues grow. Infrastructure must perform on-prem, extend to the cloud at a moment's notice, and keep the archive accessible.

Feeding on-prem render farms. Hundreds of GPUs need sustained bandwidth. Storage that cannot keep pace becomes the silent bottleneck across every shot.
Bursting to the cloud without burning the budget. Projects inevitably exceed on-prem capacity. Reactive cloud movement means manual staging, broken pipelines, and runaway egress fees.
Keeping archive accessible. Hot storage is reserved for active work, but VFX projects revive constantly. Archived shots need to be easy to reach, not buried.

A Platform Built for Every Stage of the VFX Workflow

Pixitmedia delivers an integrated platform purpose-built for VFX. One architecture feeds on-prem render, scales into the cloud with the pipeline, and keeps finished work searchable.

Collaboration

High-performance shared access feeds on-prem render farms with a unified view of project data.

Data Management

Pipeline-aware movement stages assets to cloud burst when queues need them, then tiers back.

Orchestration

Native integration with pipeline tools such as AWS Deadline and Autodesk Flow to trigger data placement.

Hybrid Cloud Economics That Actually Work

Many of the world's leading VFX studios, including Nexus Studios, run their pipelines on Pixitmedia. These environments demand storage that scales on demand, integrates with creative tools, and treats cloud as an extension of the facility rather than a destination.

Render farms fed at full throttle. Sustained bandwidth keeps GPUs productive, with no artificial cap on how fast the farm can render.
Burst render without rebuilds. Cloud capacity scales with the project. Assets move with the pipeline, sized to the job, returned when finished.
Predictable cloud costs. Data movement is staged and planned. Egress aligns with project milestones, not panic.
Archive that earns its keep. Finished projects tier down for cost efficiency but stay searchable.
Lower TCO across the project lifecycle. Pay for performance when you need it. Pay for capacity when you do not.

Why Pixitmedia for VFX

No render bottlenecks

Sustained bandwidth feeds hundreds of GPU instances without degradation.

No reactive egress

Cloud movement aligns with the pipeline, not the infrastructure.

No data islands

One global namespace across every site, on-prem and cloud.

No vendor lock-in

Open architecture, S3-compatible targets, no proprietary formats.

How It Works

1

Feed the render farm

Pixstor sustains bandwidth to hundreds of GPUs on-prem, with a unified view of project data.

2

Burst to cloud on demand

Ngenea stages assets to cloud render when queues need them, then tiers them back.

3

Integrate with your pipeline

REST APIs connect to pipeline tools such as AWS Deadline and Autodesk Flow to trigger data placement.

4

Keep archive searchable

Finished shots tier down for cost efficiency but stay searchable and quick to revive.

No changes to creative tools. No pipeline rebuilds.

Who It's For

Pixitmedia for VFX is built for studios that:

Render at scale on-prem and need storage that feeds hundreds of GPUs without stalling
Run pipeline tools such as AWS Deadline and Autodesk Flow
Burst to the cloud for peak render demand and want costs that track the project
Revive archived projects constantly and need shots to stay searchable
Operate across multiple sites and want one namespace, on-prem and cloud

One Platform, Three Products

High-performance, software-defined storage. Sustained throughput for simultaneous ingest and playback and growing file workflows, with performance guaranteed at high capacity.

Intelligent data orchestration and tiering. Pipeline-aware movement to cloud burst and back, with policy-driven tiering across NVMe, object, cloud, and tape.

Media-optimized object storage. Cost-effective, on-premises nearline and archive that scales to hundreds of petabytes.

Talk to us

Render deadlines don't flex. Your infrastructure shouldn't force a choice between performance, cloud cost, and control.
