ORC Regions at launch and roadmap.

[Terryvfx]

So I was wondering in which regions ORC was going to be available at launch, and if by chance where I live in doesn't happen to be there if it was possible to use a proxy or something to tap into the service. I really could use the speed.

Isn't it available from any country?

[Terryvfx]

Well I wish it could be that way but after looking at this image I think there is the other way around.

I thought that meant regions were the render servers are, not from where the service is available.
Goldorak, any clarification on this?

[Terryvfx]

Yes, please.

ORC regions each work from anywhere in the world.

Multiple regions are there to cover all the GPUs we need beyond one datacenter. Even in beta we would often be the largest GPU usage on EC2.

Multiple regions are also important to ensure optimal pricing via multiple vendors (AWS, azure, softlayer) competing to give us best price/compute power for all your ORC usage minutes.

You were right Rikk The Gaijin, thank you very much for the clarification Goldorak!
