Welcome to 2014!
At RenderStreet we are constantly looking into our performance indicators, as they allow us to monitor our service’s health and performance. And because you are at the center of all our efforts, we wanted to share with you a few of those indicators.
Here are some stats for Blender renders on our farm:
- 99.91% service uptime. We only had seven hours service downtime since our launch, out of which 5 hours were scheduled updates. And our service has been running during the holidays too – we even had a project rendering between the years.
- Over 10,000 jobs, with a 98% success rate in job delivery. This means only 2% of the jobs had errors that prevented rendering from being completed. We worked with most of the respective clients to get their projects to render as well.
- 87% of the animations rendered on our farm were delivered in under 72 minutes. That’s pretty impressive, considering that we had some significant workloads to render.
- Highest acceleration for a project, compared to the client’s machine: 51,429%, or 514 times faster. Meaning 3.5 hours instead of 2.5 months for an animation.
We also rendered some big projects this year, and here are some relevant numbers:
- Max samples rendered in a Cycles project: 100,000. That’s not a typo.
- Max servers allocated simultaneously to a single project: 150
- Biggest image rendered with Cycles: 405,641,250 pixels* or 23,625 x 17,170. With 1,500 samples.
- Biggest image rendered with Blender Internal: 407,585,622 pixels* or 30,038 x 13,569
*we had images with bigger width or height, but these hold the record for the largest number of pixels.
What does all this mean for you? It means that your projects have a very high chance of being delivered error-free and on time. And that you get consistent and repeatable results every time you use our services.
I want to thank every single one of you for trusting RenderStreet with your work so far, and for helping us develop our service to this level.
And it doesn’t stop here. We will continue working on improving our service, and your feedback is always appreciated. We are currently working on a new design and a new brand identity for RenderStreet, and we have some other improvements and additions planned for our farm. So keep close, and let’s have an awesome year! 🙂
