sometimes depends on the size of the poster, and the distance of looking,
you don't need a render farm, just a bit more of the resolution, in some cases with 20 or 10 dpi (dots per inch) is enough, i never make renders with more than 6000 pixels long, in the most of the situations have no sense, just resample the pic and sharpen it if you need more...
but depends on the distance you will looking at the pic....more distance less resolution...(less dpi)
just take in account this example: ths size of a road advertising (think about a photograph) is in the most of th cases 10 meters ( like 400 inches), if you get 72 dpi, you will need a pic of 28.000 pixels long... je...
just thinking about a photograph of this resolution....and wich camera you need to take it.....
