About Fortura
We built it for VFX first. That's why it works for everyone else.
Our Origin Story
Fortura was born in the high-stakes world of Visual Effects (VFX) production. VFX studios operate on razor-thin margins, require massive computational power, and deal with enormous datasets (petabytes) that need to move fast.
We saw firsthand how the cloud billing model was financially unsustainable for these studios. They were hemorrhaging money on egress fees, rent for virtual machines that sat idle half the time, and paying premium prices for "enterprise" support that often lagged behind community forums.
So, we built a better way. A way to own the hardware, colocate it for low-cost power and bandwidth, and automate the hell out of operations so a small team could manage massive infrastructure.
Why That Matters
Petabyte Scale
We cut our teeth on systems handling hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of data. This means we know how to design for scale, performance, and cost-efficiency from the ground up.
Low Budgets
VFX studios have tight budgets. Every dollar spent on infrastructure is a dollar not spent on creative talent or compute rendering the next shot. This discipline forces us to find the absolute cheapest, most efficient solutions.
Real-Time Demands
In VFX, deadlines are absolute. A render farm that's down is a studio that's losing money. This means we obsess over uptime, redundancy, and zero-downtime upgrades. What works for 24/7 VFX pipelines works for any business-critical application.
Our Mission
Our mission is to fundamentally change how enterprises think about infrastructure. The cloud model of "rent forever" is a bad deal for anyone with significant scale or data. It's a wealth transfer from innovative businesses to cloud providers.
We show you how to own your infrastructure, colocate it for performance and cost, and operate it with a tiny fraction of the overhead of a cloud provider. You keep the performance, you keep the data, and you keep the savings.
