Lately, our design team has been handling heavier projects, and the usual workstations are starting to struggle. We’re evaluating different backend setups that can support fast rendering, shared storage, and smooth collaboration without slowing editors down. In the mid-phase of planning, our infra lead suggested checking how HPC environments might help handle large visual workloads and parallel tasks.

Has anyone here integrated a server solution to support creative teams? I’m looking for real experiences—whether you used clustered compute, centralized storage, or a hybrid layout—to keep performance consistent as projects scale. Any insights on what worked (or didn’t) would be really helpful.
