Uses the A360 Cloud to render your scene.
A360 Rendering uses Cloud resources so you can continue working on your desktop while rendering proceeds.
You can find more detailed information about A360 rendering at http://www.autodesk.com/adsk360-rendering-help-about-enu. These help pages include some details about rendering 3ds Max scenes on the Cloud.
