NeuralMesh Delivers the Scale, Concurrency, and Consistency for Artists to Create and Inspire
For digital content creators, data storage enables innovation. The most successful creative studios are able to render frames more quickly, train more complex generative models, and finalize post-production projects faster, allowing creative teams to deliver breathtaking content.
Generative AI
GenAI workloads rely on massive datasets to train multimodal models to interpret video, audio, and language requests, then leverage large scale LLMs for inference at scale. NeuralMesh eliminates the frustrating compute to storage bottleneck with kernel and DRAM bypass to improve training times and scale operations across massive concurrent users.
High-Quality Post-Production
Global post-production for audio and visual effects requires massive data concurrency to handle high volumes of small files and access to huge amounts of CPU and GPU on demand, allowing for really great economics to run models faster when needed yet shut them down when projects are completed without the need for proxy workflows or unreliable pre-fetch logic.
Immersive Live Entertainment
Delivering high-fidelity visuals on the world’s largest screens requires moving an unprecedented amount of data, sometimes petabytes of data, all in real time to give tens of thousands of concert attendees the show of a lifetime.
Real-Time Color Correction for VFX Rendering
VFX rendering and color correction require massive data concurrency to handle high volumes of small files, ultra-low latency playback and exceptionally high throughput to prevent dropped frames, including for uncompressed 4K and 8K+ workflows, and high IOPS for complex VFX frame rendering and streaming bandwidth for playback in the same namespace.
NeuralMesh Offers A Proven Solution for Media & Entertainment Teams
“[WEKA allowed us] to scale up our training runs. We maintained the convenience of sharing environments on distributed storage without constantly moving files to the local disks of every node.”
“You can’t just pop into Best Buy and get a hard drive and put your rendered footage on there. It needs to be more than that. We needed WEKA.”
“WEKA eliminated the trade-off between performance and cost. It delivered the high-speed data storage performance we required for VFX rendering without the hefty price tag.”
“During AI model training, WEKA can fully saturate our GPUs, helping us get more performance out of our AI infrastructure and scale when needed.”
“We no longer had to prepare for sessions. They were available at any given time, allowing us to focus on the creative process and not worry about the technology and playback.”
“WEKA made working with what were once unthinkable resolutions and file sizes a near-effortless experience. No other solution could prove to be as fast, flexible or reliable.”
The Most Innovative M&E Companies in the World Trust NeuralMesh
From global VFX studios to immersive live entertainment venues, to cloud-based post-production houses, and bleeding-edge generative AI startups, the hybrid architecture and unmatched small-file performance have made it the platform of choice around the globe. Ready to see what’s possible?
Common Questions, Straight Answers
Media workflows such as generative AI training, 8K video editing, color grading, and complex VFX rendering require massive, immediate access to large datasets. A high-performance data platform like NeuralMesh prevents dropped frames, eliminates long render wait times, and supports seamless global collaboration, directly accelerating time-to-market for films, episodic TV, and digital content.
When storage cannot handle concurrent read/write demands or struggles with the high volume of small files common in VFX, workstations and expensive GPUs sit idle waiting for data. This “I/O bottleneck” increases wall clock times for rendering, interrupts the creative flow with playback lag, and drives up infrastructure costs.
Editing and color grading uncompressed 4K and 8K media requires ultra-low latency and exceptionally high throughput to prevent dropped frames. WEKA’s data platform is uniquely built to deliver parallel data access natively, offering a zero-tuning, single-namespace environment that provides local NVMe-like speeds across the entire studio network.
Legacy scale-out NAS and SAN systems struggle with metadata-heavy, small-file workloads inherent in visual effects framing and AI image generation. NeuralMesh’s architecture distributes metadata across the entire cluster, providing unmatched small-file performance and accelerating processing times for complex animations and multimodal AI model training.
Modern productions rely on global talent. A hybrid cloud infrastructure powered by WEKA’s NeuralMesh allows studios to maintain an on-premises footprint while effortlessly bursting into the public cloud for peak render farm demands. It provides a unified namespace, meaning remote artists experience the same high-performance data access as they would in the physical studio without waiting for painful data copies.
Whether generating text-to-video or building 3D spatial environments, AI models demand relentless data feeds. If the storage is slow, GPUs starve. WEKA’s Augmented Memory Grid and Axon technologies bypass traditional I/O bottlenecks to deliver data directly to the GPU at maximum speed, driving GPU utilization above 95% and lowering the total cost of AI training.
