ABSTRACT:
A computerized method for remotely rendering a render job includes receiving a render job submitted by a client at a first rendering site, the render job associated with at least one file stored at the first rendering site. The file stores information necessary to render the render job. The method also includes transferring the render job from the first rendering site to a second rendering site, the second site remote from the first site. The method further includes transmitting a copy of the associated file from the first rendering site to the second rendering site, storing the copy of the associated file at the second rendering site in a secure location inaccessible to entities other than the client, and rendering the render job by one or more render servers at the second rendering site.
