Statistical Analysis
We construed and developed a statistical analysis software to gather and make sense of the Render Jobs' data. In this way, we can use, and provide you with, a very detailed, yet readable, analysis of how each frame fared during the computational phase. It goes without saying that this becomes a precious tool to optimize the Max file for further render iterations (ie. A preview job can be used to spot troubling frames and fix them for the final job). What's even more interesting is that this is a complimentary service entirely free of charge.
General Information
Our RenderFarm has been engineered and built by highly qualified personnel, and is maintained in perfect efficiency through daily care: it can perform at peak performance full load 24/7, guaranteed.
To enable this kind of reliable performance, with near-zero stress faults, we chose to liquid-cool every node of the farm. This alone has the nodes running at full load a good 15° C below the standard air-cooled systems.
