As part of its services portfolio, Lenovo also supports DreamWorks' sustainability goals -- helping retire outdated systems and transition to more energy-efficient Infrastructure is only part of the story. DreamWorks depends on Lenovo's Premier Support Plus for round-the-clock help, fast fixes, and minimal downtime. In a high-pressure creative environment, responsive support and expert planning are essential to reducing complexity and helping teams meet aggressive production Performance: Technology That Moves at the Speed of ImaginationDreamWorks' partnership with Lenovo is a story of creative ambition brought to life through cutting-edge technology. During its most technically demanding productions, DreamWorks relied on Lenovo's high-performance computing (HPC) solution—featuring Neptune™ liquid cooling—to accelerate workflows and scale rendering. Neptune™ liquid cooling boosted core performance within the pre-existing data center space, enhancing both energy efficiency and system stability, and enabled the studio to do more with less. Just as critical was the ability to iterate in real time. With Lenovo's infrastructure, artists could explore, refine, and bring complex digital environments to life with greater speed and professional services have also enabled DreamWorks to scale quickly and smoothly. A HPC deployment expected to take a week was completed in just 1.5 days. From custom hardware integration to white-glove service and proactive support, every deployment is built for seamless execution and immediate robust technology and services foundation now supports a bold new slate of DreamWorks films, including The Bad Guys 2 (August 2025) and the newly announced Forgotten Island (September 2026). It will also play a central role in the creation of Shrek 5 (December 2026)—further demonstrating Lenovo's impact on some of the studio's most iconic and technically ambitious ahead, Lenovo supports DreamWorks in streamlining complex operational and infrastructure processes as well as predictive analytics and intelligent workflows --powered by Lenovo's AI-optimized infrastructure that includes workstations, data center systems, and TruScale services. While DreamWorks does not use AI in the generation of its imagery, the studio is researching its potential to increase production pipeline efficiency to further enable their artists to focus on their creativity. This integrated ecosystem would bridge individual creativity with end-to-end studio orchestration, helping DreamWorks move from concept to screen with greater speed, agility, and innovation.'This extension of the Lenovo partnership is a key component of our technology strategy,' said Bill Ballew, CTO for DreamWorks Animation. 'The Lenovo hardware solutions are incredibly powerful, and we are now looking forward to engaging with their AI teams to identify solutions that will optimize our compute infrastructure even further.' 'As production strategy evolves, the Lenovo-DreamWorks partnership serves as a blueprint for how enterprises can leverage integrated technology to scale intelligently and meet the demands of creative and operational excellence,' Wong added.
