BOXX Technologies has introduced the APEXX 8R, an NVIDIA visual computing appliance (VCA) certified solution designed to accelerate visualization workflows.
The scalable rackmount network system features NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, support for various rendering engines, integration into design workflows and accessibility to anyone on the network.

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.
