Different industries are finding their own ways to address the challenges of growing data volumes, distributed systems, and increasingly demanding workloads. Ensuring data is available where and when it is needed has become a critical infrastructure challenge. Visual effects (VFX) workflows have long operated at this intersection of scale, performance, and collaboration. Using VFX as a case study, this session will explore how to optimize data movement, reduce latency, and support distributed workloads through modern infrastructure strategies. Key talking points include:

• Balancing data scale with real-time, global accessibility
• Evaluating CPUs, GPUs, and VPUs for performance and cost efficiency
• Reducing latency through smarter data placement
• Using cloud to handle high-intensity, concurrent workloads without bottlenecks
