Our clients don’t! Get some serious peace of mind knowing that your projects are locked away deep in our disaster-resistant private technology vault.
Our Virtual Studio Tier 3 datacenter is tied to Black Start power generation. This means our flagship datacenter gets unlimited power even when the grid is down. It is all about protecting your data against catastrophic power failure. We employ 3 levels of power redundancy. Our first line of defense is our massive power feed from our local Hydroelectric dam. The second is our huge UPS battery bank and auxiliary generators. Our third is redundant local power grid connections. In addition, we employ redundant high-bandwidth ISP feeds to keep us connected. When the grid goes down, your Virtual Studio keeps rendering.
Your workstations and sensitive projects are not just in some random public datacenter warehouse. Instead, they are locked away deep in our Virtual Studio private datacenter, protected 24/7 physically and electronically by our IT staff.
The Virtual Studio flagship datacenter is literally an underground vault with over a foot of reinforced concrete walls sitting under a modernized US cold war enterprise headquarters. Just like with any top-secret facility, inbound human traffic is visually confirmed, ID badges scanned, secondary identification reviewed and 007 biometrically authorized. Yeah, it’s like that.
By its very nature, virtual studio protects your CGI projects because your data is not actually uploaded and downloaded to remote workstations. Instead, your files and software remain in our private cloud as your team works. In addition, we also employ the latest enterprise-level cyber security measures and are compliant with a wide range of electronic data safety protocols you and your clients require. Many features, including next-gen AV/MDR, web app firewalls, MFA, and encryption are built-in from the start.
At Virtual Studio, we sleep better knowing that our advanced computational computing arrays use clean energy provided by our local community’s hydroelectric dam. We feel a sense of peace and wonderment when we look out over our campus’ beautiful lake, understating that it’s part of an incredible deep aquifer system cooling your blazing CGI GPUs and CPUs.
We applaud the growing trend of datacenters following Virtual Studio’s lead to go green by investing in sustainable computing infrastructure. Our datacenter was designed from the ground up to be one of the US’s first low-carbon CGI cloud production facilities. Our unique environmental design currently provides 50% of our electricity directly from a renewable energy source, and our alternative energy geothermal cooling reduces energy usage while increasing your computing performance.
Virtual Studios is the first green CGI cloud production provider, and we are honored to provide renewable CGI computing energy to users in countries and municipalities that don’t have access to clean power. We believe it’s essential to think of our planet’s future, and take steps to be good stewards for the next generation. Join us, along with many other forward thinking digital artists around the globe, and go green with your next CGI production.
