Details

Ever wished you can have render farm levels of performance, without the hassle of a rack system and the server cabinets/IT teams that go with them? Well your wish has been granted.

Introducing the RS-D2180, our latest rendering innovation. Built on the same award winning system architecture as our Enterprise Class RS-R4180 this smaller desktop version offers the same high levels of rendering speed and performance without the draw backs associated with traditional rack based solutions.

The RS-D2180 requires no mounting brackets or rails, and can be simply desk mounted, operated on top of any of our WS workstations (or any other workstations for that matter), or even housed remotely in any back office or studio environment. The system operates without the need for a separate keyboard, mouse or monitor and requires just a single power and network cable for full operation using an intelligent management information interface (IPMI) for full operation and control.

Developed to significantly reduce project render times, our innovative RS-D2180 render node is a highly scalable, 100% remotely managed rendering system. Powered by Dual Intel® Xeon® Processors to provide up to 28 CPU rendering cores (56 CPU Threads) and up to 1,024GB of quad channel, ECC registered DDR4 memory per system. Easily configurable from 1 to over 100 render nodes to provide an extremely fast, and powerful rendering farm solution. Perfectly suiting smaller studio/creative environments where space is an issue.

Each RS-D2180 render node (or render server) is only 100mm tall and is just 580mm deep, allowing you to stack a number of RS-D2180 systems on top of each other for a small, yet powerful render farm where space is an issue.

If project deadlines are a killer, why have your workstations sat waiting to finish rendering when you can free up your artists to continue working. Spread your complex 3D renders onto our RS-D2180 render nodes and easily steam through complex images and animation sequences in record time!

Calculate The Time and Money a Render Farm Could Save You

Our render node ROI calculator is a quick and easy tool to help you estimate the real world benefits your very own network render farm can have for you. Simply follow the simple steps below to find out how much computing power you need to get the performance you require.

• Step 1 - Enter the processor details of the workstation or render farm you currently use.
• Step 2 - Enter the processor details of the new workstation or render farm you are interested in.
• Step 3 - Review the time your new render farm could save you.
• Step 4 - Review the value in pound sterling your new render farm could save you.

Step 1 - Current System/Farm:

No. of CPUs in system(s):

No. of threads per CPU:

1 CPUs

8 Threads

Base Clock Speed of Processor(s):

3.40 GHz

Number of Systems in Farm:

1 Nodes

No. of hours per frame:

No. of minutes per frame:

1 Hours

0 Mins

Total GHz of Current Farm:

27.80 GHz

Step 2 - New System/Farm:

No. of CPUs in system(s):

No. of threads per CPU:

2 CPUs

12 Threads

Base Clock Speed of Processor(s):

2.60 GHz

Number of Systems in Farm:

2 Nodes

Total GHz of New Farm:
(See your time saving results below on Step 3)

124.80 GHz

Step 3 - Estimated Time Savings:

In the table below we compare the overall processing performance of you current workstation or render farm against the new proposed render farm. We take the current time a single render takes your current system and estimate how long your new render farm is likely to take in comparison. Return to Step 2 and modify the settings to find the performance improvements you would like.
