Autodesk welcomes Manjrasoft into its partner network
Distributed 3D rendering using Autodesk Maya was one of the earliest proof of concepts developed on Manjrasoft's Aneka platform. The success of this has been cemented with the approval of Manjrasoft's application for the Autodesk Developer Network program. After reviewing the application, Autodesk has included Manjrasoft into its Developer Network, kicking off what can turn out to be a fruitful partnership for both the parties. Manjrasoft aims to work with Autodesk to deliver a comprehensive solution to Autodesk's solutions in the media, entertainment and engineering sectors.
With China Southern Railway's GoFront group wanted to speed up their 3D rendering application, Manjrasoft jumped at the opportunity to meet the need. Manjrasoft's Aneka platform would fit snuggly into the situation at GoFront.
Aneka is a market oriented Cloud development and management platform with rapid application development and workload distribution capabilities. Aneka is an integrated middleware package which allows you to seamlessly build and manage an interconnected network in addition to accelerating development, deployment and management of distributed applications using Microsoft .NET frameworks on these networks.
For 3D Rendering, Aneka enables you to complete your jobs in a fraction of the usual time using existing infrastructure only without having to do any programming.
