Save Cost and optimize IT infrastructure with support of Windows HPC Server 2008R2
The Animation industry today faces the most challenging task of optimizing their current infrastructure with minimal cost to get maximum output.
In animation industry, rendering is an essential part of the lifecycle in 3D computer animation production. Rendering is a highly compute-intensive process that requires the know-how to set up and to manage the specialized software and workflows as well as the render farms. Over the years we have seen dramatic changes in rendering process through technology advancement.
Recent technology advancement from Microsoft in High Performance Computing provides very cost effective and reliable solution for AVG industry. Released today, Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 makes it easier and more affordable to put the power of supercomputing within reach studio’s IT team giving them the computational resources they need to optimize system performance and give better output in high resource intensive process like rendering.
With the help of Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, companies can take advantage of existing technology investments and employee skill sets to minimize cost, maximize return and make HPC resources easier to manage.
DUX Soft engages with some of the leading studios in North America and Asia Pacific. Over last 3 years we have engaged with Windows HPC Server and find it to be one of the best solution for both server and desktop based rendering requirements of our clients. We have ported our render manager tool, SPARX, onto Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 to make rendering that much more easier said KrishnaPrasad, CTO DUX Soft.
Many companies and organizations spend countless hours and invest large amounts of money in creating and managing digital assets. But when rendering process start many studio face issue of not having enough infrastructures to render the movie in time. Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 can help studios to avoid such kind of problem and meet the production deadline by optimizing current infrastructure and reducing total time to render without investing any extra amount on IT infrastructure.
Our AVG industry customers tell us they want an HPC solution that harnesses the power of parallel and high performance computing in their in-house setup to maximize output,” said Bill Hamilton, Director, Technical Computing, Microsoft Corp. “Microsoft is excited to be working with an ecosystem of companies like DUX Soft to help customers take full advantage of Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 and advance cluster management tool that require less setup time and are easy to use.
Using Windows HPC Server technology our clients have reported benefits like improved performance by 25%, faster time to market up to 2-3 months, Project cost savings of $200,000 and easy system management.
Next generation for HPC solutions from Microsoft like such as Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 brings the power, performance, and scale of highperformance computing (HPC) to mainstream computing. The centralizedmanagement and deployment interface helps to simplify deployment for bothlarge and small compute clusters and provide a simple and effectivemanagement experience to increase cluster administrator productivity.
