Even More Power for the French Leader of Cloud Rendering

In 2019, Ranch Computing consolidates its position of French leader and major player in Europe in
the field of 3D images rendering for the architectural, animation, product design and VFX markets.
Indeed, if 2018 was marked by a redesign of the visual identity and website and the doubling of its
GPU power, 2019 shows a double increase: the first one is the team to better master the whole
service value chain; the second one is the infrastructure (+80% of GPU power and +35% of CPU
power).

Paris, France, October 23, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Even more power for even more clients
With 75% of clients outside of France and coming from over 100 countries, Ranch Computing servers
calculate constantly, whatever the time zone. To allow a growing number of clients to save time (one
week of rendering on a personal computer equals to 20 minutes on the Ranch at full power), the company
regularly increases the size of its infrastructure:
· In 2016, Ranch Computing was building one of the most powerful render farms in the world with an
investment of 1.6 million euros in servers equipped with Dual Xeon E5-2697A V4 processors.
· At the end of 2016, the company positions itself on the GPU promising market.
· In 2018, it doubles its GPU calculation power with 68 servers and a global power close to 1 million
GPU cores.
· In 2019, the company increases both the GPU farm power which now reaches 1.8 million GPU cores
and a global OctaneBench 4 score of 118,000 and the CPU farm power with servers equipped with Dual
Xeon processors. The CPU farm now reaches a total power of 27,000 cores and a CineBench R20 score
of over 4 millions.

At the same time, the company has been increasing its storage capacity to meet the demand for more and
more complex and thus heavy 3D projects.

The power of the cloud, human factor on top

The team increase has been a necessity for 3 main reasons:
- Maintain an unrivalled level of quality on the market (97% of satisfaction).
- Invest in R&D to meet the ambitious objectives of the company.
- Take control over the whole value chain.

An unrivalled quality of support

Even though the service itself is fully automated, from the project submission to retrieving the frames, its
smoothness and reliability depends on the expertise of men and women. From the very start of the
company in 2006, the founders, Julien de Souza and Frédéric Louguet, made support quality a priority.
With over 250 supported software (modeling software, renderers and plugins) there are lots of
combinations which can generate complications when rendering. Having an internal team of 3D experts
rather than outsourcing the support makes it easier and faster to get accurate answers and therefore meet
the Ranch and its clients' common goal: save time.

Invest in R&D to cater all the current and forthcoming needs

Ranch Computing has been offering 3D rendering tailor-made solutions for over a decade. Technologies
and hardware equipments are moving fast. As a consequence, there are multiple and more or less complex
answers to a single request. To better help graphic designers make their choices (whether they are
free-lancers, in studios, agencies, etc.) Ranch Computing has strengthened its team of system, network
and security engineers. Their work is to optimize and improve the performance of the service.

Take control of the value chain

By integrating services that were outsourced until then, Ranch Computing becomes quite unique on the
market, mastering its whole value chain (hardware, clients' support, IT team, developers...) in one place
(Paris, France). This choice has been made to guarantee the quality of the service, the reliability of the
infrastructure and a fast answer to clients' needs.

The company
Ranch Computing was founded in 2006 by Julien de Souza and Frédéric Louguet. The concept was quite
innovative at the time because there were really few commercial renderfarms on the market and none of
them was fully automated. Rendering needs were not the same as nowadays, but proportionally, neither
was the computing power. The first version of the Ranch was only composed of quad-core Core 2
Quad/Extreme servers with 4 GB RAM.

Not only the is the company a French flagship of cloud rendering but it is also a major player in Europe
and has clients on every continent.

Facts and figures about Ranch Computing:

· Close to 500,000 rendered projects
· Over 250 supported software
· 75% of international customers (non-French)
· 97% of satisfaction with the customer support
· 18 employees
