Idle capacity
Phones, servers, TVs, laptops and desktops have processing power to spare most of the time.
Idle capacity is scattered across the company, in devices of every kind. On its own, each one is worth little. Together, they are worth a lot.
Every device counts
- Phones. Company phones spend much of the day unused. While they sit there, they become working capacity.
- Servers. A server running at half load lends out the rest, whether it is large or small.
- TVs. Screens that stay on all day showing a video have processing power to spare.
- Laptops and desktops. When the owner isn’t using the device, it works. When they come back, it is theirs again.
A heterogeneous network
This is not a room full of identical servers. Every device is different: size, operating system (Windows, Linux, Android), network, and the hours when it is free. Tilt Studio treats that difference as the rule, not the exception:
- each device only gets work it can actually do;
- only the free part of each device is used, never all of it;
- a device that drops off the network halfway through doesn’t lose the work, which is redone on another one.
The owner comes first
The device still belongs to whoever uses it. Tilt Studio steps back when the owner needs it, and picks the capacity up again once it is free.
