From 30 Minutes to Seconds: How Hornet Scaled Creative Workflows in AWS

Discover how Hornet cut file delays, boosted artist productivity, and scaled instantly across global teams—without changing how they work.

Hornet is a leading creative studio producing VFX, animation, and branded content for top agencies and entertainment companies. As demand surged, their on-prem setup couldn’t keep up:

• File access in the cloud took up to 30 minutes
• Hardware shipping slowed down every project
• Artists were stuck waiting for assets instead of creating

In this case study, learn how Hornet:

• Deployed Cloud Native Qumulo in AWS in just 6 weeks
• Eliminated costly file delays and hardware shipping
• Enabled remote teams to collaborate in real time
• Reduced infrastructure costs while improving performance

If your production team is hitting limits with traditional storage or struggling with hybrid workflows, this is worth a read.
