New AWS M&E Initiative Helps Customers Set Up Creative Studios in Hours

Teradici is happy to support our customers in the new AWS for Media & Entertainment initiative, giving creatives more options for remote access with lossless distortion-free support, color accuracy and high frame rates.

AWS for Media & Entertainment is an initiative featuring new and existing services and solutions from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Partners, built specifically for content creators, rights holders, producers, broadcasters, and distributors. Amazon Nimble Studio is a new service that enables customers to set up creative studios in hours instead of weeks, with a portfolio that includes purpose-built media and entertainment industry services, including AWS Elemental MediaPackage, AWS Elemental MediaConnect, AWS Elemental MediaLive, AWS Elemental MediaConvert, and Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS).

AWS for Media & Entertainment also simplifies the process of building, deploying, and reinventing mission-critical industry workloads by aligning AWS and AWS Partner capabilities against five solution areas: Content Production; Media Supply Chain & Archive; Broadcast; Direct-to-Consumer & Streaming; and Data Science & Analytics.

Customers can leverage Teradici CAS and AWS to achieve the full experience of a remote production studio, anywhere and everywhere.

Teradici CAS enables high-performance remote visualization of desktops in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G2, G3, G4 elastic GPU instances to deliver a high-performance user experience for even the most graphics-intensive applications and workloads.

"Special effects requires high-res, pixel-perfect transmission, and Teradici CAS supports up to 4K resolution on each monitor,” said Bernie Kimbacher VFX Supervisor and Founder, Hive VFX. “It's the gold standard in the VFX industry. None of the other remote desktop solutions I've tried comes anywhere near its performance."

Secure, Seamless Collaboration and Business Continuity

The need for secure, seamless collaboration and business continuity are two significant drivers for the Media & Entertainment industry investing in remote access technology. Whether working at an office, an off-site meeting, or from home, PCoIP solutions enable secure access to applications and data anywhere because they remain on AWS.

With unrivalled performance and user experience, cross-functional teams, contractors, vendor-partners around the world can easily share and collaborate on mission-critical and graphics-intensive 3D applications from anywhere with high-performance interactivity—under any network condition. Activities in all phases of a product life cycle can be tightly coordinated, as if everyone was working together in the office.

The need to provide a hybrid workplace that allows more creators to work from home is another trending challenge facing the industry. Setting up contractors and IT manageability on remote physical resources is an ideal alternative to managing the liability of deploying high-end workstations or laptops to peoples’ homes.
