HP Helps DreamWorks Animation's "Turbo" Race into Theaters


Bangalore:  HP announced that DreamWorks Animation used HP technology to develop cutting-edge animation for its latest film, “Turbo,” which debuts in theaters.

HP Converged Infrastructure technology spanning servers, storage, networking, services and management software; HP Converged Cloud; as well as HP Workstations and printers helped DreamWorks Animation process massive amounts of data, creating new levels of imagery and powering innovative computer graphics (CG) animated movie-making techniques.

“DreamWorks Animation’s strategic alliance with HP ensured that we had the high-performance computing, continuous availability and streamlined management capabilities needed to accurately depict Turbo’s dream of becoming the world’s fastest racer,” said Derek Chan, head of Technology Global Operations, DreamWorks Animation. “HP’s advanced Converged Infrastructure portfolio enabled our artists and engineers to create the highest-quality picture possible.”

DreamWorks Animation tapped the power of HP Z Workstations to recreate the thrill of the Indy 500, with snails traveling 220 miles per hour and more than 500,000 crowd characters filling a replica of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
