Render Farms....save time... save money.

"I was thinking of selling computational power to those who need it a lot, like 3D effect industry, scientific processor intensive projects, and others, it's much like renting some time on a supercomputer, just just us your job and we'll Render it for you." RSN

Some examples of render farms may be:

It all began at 2:00 in the morning.
A scene was taking too long to render. I was desperate for a solution; the deadline was the next morning. I'd optimized my scene as much as possible, but it was still going to take hours. A Google search for "render farm" found a couple of companies, but you had to call them. You had to reserve time. No one was open - it was 2:00 in the morning! Why couldn't I simply submit my job to an online render farm, plug in my credit card, and go home? Answer: the service just didn't exist.

I decided to change that.

Think about it: When it comes time to render your final output, how many valuable workstations are put out of commission for your animators while they render frames? These workstations could be better employed having the next project being started or be otherwise gainfully employed.
