Our take
Many studios and artists are struggling to get their products to market quickly enough, Often, the infrastructure they use is unintuitive and obstructs their work, instead of enhancing it. WEKA provides the Arch Platform, a machine learning/AI solution for managing cloud-based studios for content creation. It is already being used by major Hollywood studios and can take the post-production time from days to minutes.
The platform uses AWS to enable studios of any size to manage project permissions and access a virtual workstation, storage capabilities, and licensing servers. The company has brought everything together and offers support for both Windows and Linux, along with data encryption, backup and recovery, and cloud-bursting for companies that are taking off.
WEKA has a few notable competitors, such as RapidMiner which provides cloud storage and the ability to work on ETL processes, but has stood out thus far by being delivering the fastest file system on the market. The company has also raised considerable funding that will support its accelerated expansion, as well as launching a Sustainable AI Initiative that aims to draw attention to the rapid growth in global data center energy consumption and carbon emissions.
