CoreWeave Acquires Conductor Technologies, Enhancing Its Offerings to VFX Studios

  • CoreWeave’s acquisition of Conductor Technologies empowers the Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry with access to the industry’s fastest and most flexible cloud infrastructure with easy to use, intuitive workflows for rendering at scale
  • The acquisition allows CoreWeave to broaden its suite of solutions and capabilities for VFX and animation studios to integrate workloads to the cloud with ease
  • This event grows CoreWeave to more than 90 employees, with CEO of Conductor Technologies Mac Moore now heading up the Media and Entertainment division of CoreWeave under the purview of CoreWeave CEO, Michael Intrator

CoreWeave, a specialized cloud provider built for large-scale GPU-accelerated workloads, announced its acquisition of Conductor Technologies, developer of the Conductor cloud-based task management service that simplifies access to cloud resources at scale.

“Until now, we’ve focused our development on easing pain points specifically in content production with the artist in mind and are excited to extend Conductor’s functionality to also benefit CoreWeave customers across high performance compute workloads, including AI and ML.”

The Conductor service will enable CoreWeave to expand its offering to deliver burst rendering solutions to visual effects (VFX) studios while removing friction in the setup process. Bolstering existing functionality, Conductor customers will additionally be able to leverage CoreWeave’s solutions, including access to the broadest range of NVIDIA GPUs available on the market, as well as unmatched access to scale, the ability to burst on-demand, and responsive autoscaling out-of-the-box.
