LOS ANGELES — Shotgun Software (https://shotgunsoftware.com), developer of cloud-based review and production tracking software, is leveraging Amazon Web Services to bring an improved experience to customers around the world with new, multi-region hosting. The team at Shotgun recently set out to address the challenge of making Shotgun faster for everyone, regardless of location. Shotgun is now offering storage options to customers outside of North America to bring media closer to home.
Powered by Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration, new multi-region hosting allows users to choose the S3 region closest to them to store their media. The updates also leverage available bandwidth when uploading files to Amazon S3 to accelerate the transfer of media, page loading when thumbnails are present, and cloud transcoding in supported regions, with the ability to auto-scale.
Available to users today, Shotgun’s latest performance updates include: cloud transcoding across supported regions, S3 transfer acceleration for all sites, the ability to host new and existing media in different regions, and direct media upload to S3.
“Our customers span the globe, and while Shotgun already enables them to mirror their pipeline regardless of location, multi-region hosting will allow customers to enjoy the same fast speed and performance with hosted files whether they are based in Europe, Asia or North America,” says James Pycock, Shotgun head of product, Autodesk. “We’ve been able to leverage S3 Transfer Acceleration to make Shotgun collaboration faster and more efficient for facilities everywhere.”
