24 Chapter 2 Preparing a Network for Distributed Processing

Example of an Expanded Distributed Processing Network

For rendering, a network might include a number of client computers on a LAN,

connected to a cluster using a high-speed switch. A rack of servers plus a shared

storage device, acting as the cluster, would be an extremely strong rendering engine.

The service nodes would each have a local copy of the relevant client application

software so that they could process the rendering jobs.
