I have around 20 PCs networked and I'd like to use them to help render my projects
Most of the resources for rendering will reside on a network share
then all the nodes read data from there .. render... and then write back the rendered frames....
I must upgrade the current network at least to a Gigabit Ethernet .. What switch options do I have there? Preferable a reliable one like Cisco...
And also ~20 PCs reading data (usually uncompressed video files) from the same network share at the same time will certainly create traffic there, will a Gigabit Ethernet Switch be enough for that or I should be heading towards 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
Can you advice on this matter?
Thanks in advance..
