Comix Wave Films Japan | Media | 71 | $15M | Japan | NetApp | Netapp Flexcache | Servers, Storage and Networking | 2022 | n/a |
In 2022 CoMix Wave Films Japan implemented NetApp FlexCache as part of an Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP deployment in the Servers, Storage and Networking category to address WAN latency in its cloud rendering workflows. The implementation targeted the studio's computer graphics rendering pipeline, enabling distributed rendering across on-premises and cloud nodes and aligning storage behavior with high concurrency compute workloads.
The deployment configured NetApp FlexCache to provide file level caching for active rendering data sets, colocating cached data near render nodes to reduce read latency. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP provided the underlying ONTAP data management, while FlexCache instances were used to scale throughput and IOPS for parallel access by render jobs, supporting cache management and concurrent mount scenarios typical of media rendering workloads.
Operationally the project focused on the CG department and the studio rendering pipeline, enabling coordinated access by both on-prem and cloud resources. Rendering orchestration and job scheduling workflows were adapted to reference cached data locations so cloud render nodes could access large asset sets without repeatedly traversing the WAN, supporting burst scaling to hundreds of nodes.
The implementation increased IOPS substantially, enabled the CG department to run up to 300 cloud nodes simultaneously, and reduced latency and bandwidth costs for distributed rendering, as reported in the NetApp AWS customer case detail.

Ducati Italy | Automotive | 1665 | $1.2B | Italy | NetApp | Netapp Flexcache | Servers, Storage and Networking | 2023 | n/a |
In 2023, Ducati Italy and NetApp co-engineered a virtual data management and insights platform for Ducati Corse motorsport operations in Italy. The implementation used NetApp ONTAP with SnapMirror replication and Netapp Flexcache and is categorized under Servers, Storage and Networking to deliver near-real-time race analytics and R&D data sharing.
Configuration centered on ONTAP storage controllers with SnapMirror providing asynchronous replication and Netapp Flexcache providing distributed caching of active datasets to reduce read latency at remote sites. Functional capabilities implemented include near-real-time data synchronization for telemetry and engineering datasets, cached content delivery to trackside systems, and coordinated snapshot-based data movement to support analytics workflows.
Operational coverage spanned the factory, garage and track, enabling engineering and R&D teams to share large telemetry and simulation datasets across locations in Italy. Integrations are built around NetApp native features, with data flows coordinated between central storage and remote cache nodes to minimize WAN bandwidth use.
Governance was co-developed by Ducati Corse and NetApp to align synchronization windows and data sharing policies with race engineering workflows, and rollout focused on motorsport use cases rather than enterprise-wide IT. The solution improved synchronization and collaboration across engineering teams, reducing sync latency, increasing throughput, and lowering WAN bandwidth use as reported.

Weta Fx New Zealand | Media | 1200 | $120M | New Zealand | NetApp | Netapp Flexcache | Servers, Storage and Networking | 2010 | Fujitsu |
In 2010, Weta Fx New Zealand implemented Netapp Flexcache as part of a high-performance storage strategy for its Media & Entertainment rendering operations under the Servers, Storage and Networking category. The deployment focused on accelerating texture and asset access for large-scale film rendering and VFX workloads to reduce repetitive remote reads and manual data movement across render nodes.
Netapp Flexcache was configured to provide distributed caching and local read locality for production assets, enabling cache volumes to serve frequently accessed textures and geometry near render compute. Configuration work emphasized cache population, eviction policies, and read optimization to align with film rendering workflows and large file sets.
Fujitsu New Zealand served as the delivery partner for the implementation, integrating Netapp Flexcache with Weta Fx New Zealand production storage and the studio render pipeline. Operational coverage targeted VFX production, rendering operations, and asset management teams within the New Zealand studio, ensuring cache visibility and access patterns matched production schedules and shot throughput requirements.
Governance and rollout included staged deployment across render clusters with operational handover to studio storage engineers and updated asset ingestion processes to leverage caching behavior. NetApp reported approximately 95 percent reduction in manual data movement, and the project delivered significant operational gains for Weta Fx New Zealand’s rendering throughput and asset management workflows.
