Scale your creativity

Virtual Workstations

Scale creative talent up and down at a moment’s notice for a specific project or time duration with virtual workstations on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) G4 instances. AWS's global footprint with more availability zones and regions than any other cloud provider enables access to creative talent almost anywhere in the world. Artists can work securely on AWS using streaming applications such as Teradici or NICE DCV.

Rendering on AWS

Using the cloud for rendering workloads means artists are spending more time iterating to improve their shot or scene, and less time waiting for their renders to finish. When studios integrate their rendering pipeline with AWS, they can scale rendering workloads to thousands, or even tens of thousands, of cores in minutes. They can also scale down just as quickly as they scale up, providing incredible compute elasticity and cost control.
