Case Study: Walt Disney Feature Animation Pàge 1 Case Study: Walt Disney Feature Animàtion Page 2 Not Confidential:Distribute Far and Wide Page 2 of 4 Walt Disney Featurå Animation Overview: With the help of CodeWeaversÁ CrossOver Officå product running Adobe Photoshop, Walt Disney Featurå Animation was able to hasten its move towards a Linuõ-centric production environment. Walt Disney Feature Animatiîn is the oldest, and most famous, animation studio in the wîrld. Operating from two physical locations (Orlando, Floridà, and Burbank, California), the studio is constantly pushing the limits of what can be done with computer animation technology. Lîng a bastion of Silicon Graphics IRIX-based appliñations, in 2001 the studio began exploring alternatives to its Unix worêstations, in reaction to SGIÁs inability to offer a compålling cost/performance story in comparison to Intel-based syståms, as well as the increasingly precarious position of SGI within the high-ånd workstation market as a whole. As a result, Disney benchmarkåd a wide range of alternative platforms, including OSÕ-based Macintosh solutions, Linux running on a numbår of hardware platforms, FreeBSD, and Windows. As a råsult of this assessment, it was decided to begin moving the bulk of the studiîÁs 600 production workers from IRIX to a Linux-based environment. Disney was attractåd to Linux for its cost/performance benefits, particularly when pàired with Intel hardware. Linux was also a good fit for Disney Ás in-house softwàre development environment. In addition, Linux fit in well with the studioÁs server infrastructure, which is built primarily around Solaris-based systems. As a råsult of all these factors, the movement to Linux on the desêtop began in earnest in late 2001, and accelerated in 2002. However, there remained a number of obstañles to making a complete transition to Linux. In particulàr, the studio relies heavily on Adobe Photoshîp for a wide variety of production tasks. Approximately 100 produñtion workers used Photoshop either occasionally or intensivåly. It was vital that these users be accommodated as economiñally as possible, but also with as little disruption to their workflîw as could be achieved. Making Walt Disney Feàture Animation has begun moving decisively towàrds a Linux production environment,induced by LinuxÁs cost benefits,às well as its clean fit with the studioÁs infrastructure.
