CASE STUDY: DreamWorks Animation Delivers Amazing Films with HP Networking
DreamWorks Animation had a problem. Their previous network was pushed to its limits. It needed to be rebooted every few months, and network outages were resulting in missed deadlines and serious consequences. So they looked to HP for a simplified network architecture.
DreamWorks installed HP routers, switches, access points and software to support higher availability, enhance render farm productivity and boost LAN speeds between campuses in order to drive 24/7 workloads. Now the company can spend less time rebooting its network and more time bringing unforgettable stories to life on the big screen.

ObjectiveRegain control over network outages and boost LAN speeds between campuses to reliably drive 24/7 workloads
ApproachMove towards a simplified network architecture to support higher availability and enhance render farm productivity
IT matters• Reduces LAN latency, significantly increasing
transfer speeds
• Provides network redundancy for high availability and continuous access
• Consolidates visibility of all network components into a single, logical device
• Enables non-disruptive deployment by in-house IT staff
Business matters• Provides continuous 24/7 availability for 500,000
digital rendering jobs daily
• Eliminates unplanned outages, reducing overtime and double-time work
• Decreases maintenance by centralizing network management
• Delivers reliable pipeline to support artists in meeting production deadlines and release targets
“Since moving to HP Networking, we’ve shaved off a millisecond of latency between our offices. That’s a very meaningful boost in speed for us. When you’re submitting half a million jobs every night for rendering, it really adds up. HP IRF technology has helped us reduce the complexity of our network and increase the efficiency of our pipeline.” – Keith McKay, Networking Operations Supervisor, DreamWorks Animation
Challenging the status quoThe fearless pursuit of doing amazing things is part of the corporate culture at DreamWorks Animation. “One thing I quickly found out when I came here was that we take high-performance computing to a whole new level, and we push technology past the limits of what it can do,” said Keith McKay, networking operations supervisor at DreamWorks Animation. But when the company found their network was really beyond its limits, with outages causing serious consequences, they looked to HP for a solution that could reposition them as a leader in technology.

Keith McKay | Networking Operations Supervisor, DreamWorks Animation
“ Since we put in our HP network, we haven’t had a significant outage. The HP gear has been the most stable we’ve ever seen.”
