BOXX Introduces APEXX 8R Network System

Regarded as a GPU-rendering solution, APEXX 8R supports look development, VFX final frame rendering, collaborative real-time design review, architectural visualization and product design visualization. Available with NVIDIA Iray (for Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, and Rhino), Chaos V-Ray (3ds Max and Maya), or SOLIDWORKS Visualize, the BOXX VCA is configurable with up to eight professional, dual-width, NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, bringing maximum compute density to a single server.

APEXX 8R relies on RDMA over Infiniband for fast interconnect and rendering scalability between VCA Certified Solutions. Administrators can use the 10 GigE or 1 GigE connection to attach APEXX 8R to their company network. The VCA certified solution also includes out-of-band control over IPMI, so administrators can manage and monitor each over Ethernet, even if the system is powered off.
