IBM Builds Animation Cloud for Multimedia Development Corporation

IBM and the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) have just completed installation of the ‘MAC3 Rendering Farm”, a cloud rendering service that is part of the MSC Malaysia Animation and Crective Content Center. Hoping to turn Malaysia into a hub of visual effects artists and animators by providing centralized remotely-available rendering services, the cloud offers an impressive 8x performance boost over local workstations.

“It is a well-known fact that rendering is expensive and the MAC3 high performance rendering facility will help local creative content companies, especially the start-ups, to overcome the cost barrier,” said Deputy Prime Minister Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. “With this facility in place, Malaysia’s creative content companies will have the technological edge in their rendering and production processes. At the same time, it will also help them lower their costs,” he said.
