Let’s say you wish to partition your rener render farm into 2 departments, post and promo.  Qube! supports the idea of partitioning your render farm into "clusters".  You can divide up your farm between any number of departments, while still allowing the departments to share the machines.
 
As an example, you could allocate some of your render nodes to the /post cluster, and some to the /promo cluster (Qube! workers - your render nodes - belong to 1 and only 1 cluster).  Users would submit their jobs to either the /post cluster or the /promo cluster - this can be configured so that it's transparent to the user.
 
A worker in the /post cluster will run the lowest-priority job in the /post cluster before it will run the highest-priority job in the /promo cluster.
 
A worker in the /promo cluster will run the lowest-priority job in the /promo cluster before it will run the highest-priority job in the /post cluster.
