As we cross the one-year milestone for working remotely due to the pandemic, organizations continue to evaluate how and when staff may return to the office. According to a recent Gartner survey of more than 300 CFOs, 74 percent of companies now plan to permanently shift employees to remote work after the COVID-19 crisis ends. The pandemic will have a lasting impact on the way companies do business, including game development studios – an industry that has seen dramatic growth in the past year.
Game developers and video game artists working on graphics-intensive 3D content creation within multiple applications and across distributed teams face unique remote working challenges. That means the right IT tools and support are critical for them to ensure accelerated production, collaboration, and employee satisfaction. The question is, how can you ensure their remote work setup guarantees a productive experience regardless of where they are?
Enter the virtual workstation designed for game developers from long-time collaborators Amazon Web Services (AWS), NVIDIA, and Teradici. It’s a solution that delivers interactive applications with uncompromised performance to developers, whether they are working in the studio or remotely. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G4 instances deliver NVIDIA T4 GPU-powered virtual workstations designed to accelerate graphics-intensive applications, supported by AWS Game Tech’s full spectrum of game production in the cloud services. Teradici Cloud Access Software ensures the remote work experience is just like working from a local computer, with a pixel-perfect, color-accurate, fully interactive user experience regardless of network connection. This powerful solution helps artists and developers meet deadlines faster, improve efficiency, and maintain the highest level of security of creative assets.
