CDSA CPS-certified and MPAA-audited

Come visit us at booth #923 to learn about Azure Batch and High Performance Compute for creating VFX in Azure’s public cloud. We’ll be showcasing secure operations that help you protect sensitive pre-release content while you collaborate with artists and facilities around the world.

Secure Handling in Hollywood

Download the new Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform Hardening Guide developed by Independent Security Evaluators for securely handling sensitive Hollywood studio assets. Using open-source rendering tools such as Blender together with Batch, Key Vault, Azure Active Directory, and other cloud services, you can quickly and easily deploy a small or large render farm to produce the next blockbuster!

Rendering in the Cloud

If you’re already experienced in building render workflows with tools such as Conductor and Royal Render which can natively burst to Azure resources, then you’ll be pleased to know about Microsoft’s new partnership with Autodesk that brings the power of Maya, 3ds Max, and Arnold to the cloud. Learn more about all of these solutions at our booth, too.

Microsoft is also hosting a number of sessions this year, in particular a deep-dive on Secure Burst Rendering to the Microsoft Cloud on Tuesday, August 1 at 5PM (Room 409A). We’re presenting with Jellyfish Pictures, an innovative VFX studio in London, UK, who uses Azure services today to securely produce assets for big-budget films, international TV, commercial customers, and more.
