Sherpa is simplified cloud infrastructure for media production

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - August 7, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Imagine being able to create, collaborate & scale your media production pipeline faster than ever before, globally - without signing a lease on a building, without spending millions on hardware, and with minimal technical expertise. Simply add artists and your vision!

Created by the media production industry wizards at Escape Technology in the UK, Sherpa is a proven, secure, vendor agnostic cloud infrastructure environment for any VFX, animation, games or design visualization workflow. Annex Pro has partnered with Escape Technology to design, deploy and support Sherpa in North America (coming soon in South America). 

"Escape Technology are delighted to partner with Annex Pro, a company we have had a long-standing relationship with, to provide Sherpa cloud services exclusively to the Americas," stated Mark Cass, Managing Director of Escape Technology. "Given the similarities of our two companies, each having a strong focus on customer support and engineering, Annex Pro was the natural choice to partner with across the pond."

"We discussed a partnership for years with our friends at Escape Technology, and I'm truly excited that today it has finally become a reality," said Kerry Corlett, CEO & Founder of Annex Pro. "We considered many options for cloud-based media production, and nothing comes close to the power, flexibility and security of Sherpa.  Advance users were blown away by how easy it was to stand up a media production pipeline, without a massive capital expenditure and with minimal technical expertise. We can't wait to show you what Sherpa can do for you!"
