Uses the Autodesk Cloud to render your scene.
Autodesk Rendering uses cloud resources so you can continue working on your desktop while rendering proceeds.
You can find more detailed information about Autodesk 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.
