HPE
HPE ProLiant Servers
Rack-mount HPE ProLiant servers for dense render nodes, certified for sustained full-load rendering.
What it is, and why it matters
Capacity is what makes a deadline survivable.
When shot counts spike, render capacity decides what actually ships. Storm FX designs and supplies farm solutions sized to your pipeline rather than a spec sheet. That covers rack hardware tuned for render workloads, distributed rendering software, and cloud credits when you need to burst.
