System News for Sun Users - The Blog

Network.com, Sun’s collection of grid-enabled online applications available on a pay-per-use basis, along with the free open source 3D content creation suite Blender were selected by BBC World News as one of the best cloud applications available:

“Sun’s data centres are available for hire by the hour to power on-demand cloud services. Used mainly for processing scientific data, the servers can also be used for rendering animations via the open source Blender 3D software on the desktop.”

Network.com and Blender 3D recently made headlines as the technologies teamed up for the 3D animated movie “Big Buck Bunny.” Network.com acted as a web hosting location for the online comedy created using Blender 3D.
