About ReFaMo 2.04 (Render Farm Monitor):
After 2 years of development and testing Ixor
developed a unique software in order to Monitor
and Control any Cluster or RenderFarm that is
running under Windows (32bit & 64bit). This
Multi PC monitor software is called "ReFaMo".
(RenderFarmMonitor)
ReFaMo it is not application specific.
It is a stand alone software, suitable for checking the status
and cotrol of any network
configuration. From a small office with only 3
PC's to a huge office with 500+ machines and big
renderfarms.
Any kind of Cluster monitoring scenario is now
very easy to be monitored and controlled.
Compatible with all 3D applications such as: 3dsMax, Maya, Rhino, FormZ,
Cinema4D, Xsi, Houdini, Lightwave, Modo, E-on
Vue... anything you can imagine!

If disk I/O takes a long time, a counter
appears next to the machine's 'led' and
shows how long this has been going on. We
found this helpful in checking for memory
overflows where there is swap thrashing.
