Challenges

  • Real-time review of dailies – anytime, anywhere
  • Optimal performance and visual quality
  • Rapid set-up of temporary satellite offices

Solution

  • Teradici PCoIP® Remote Workstation cards
  • PCoIP Zero Clients
  • PCoIP Management Console

Results

  • Flexibility and mobility: Remote viewing of dailies speeds reviews and lets distributed teams collaborate from anywhere.
  • Security: Consolidating file servers, render farms, and storage arrays in the datacenter gives IT the ability to maintain control of creative assets, without restricting artists’ work.
  • Performance: PCoIP remote display protocol compresses, encodes, and delivers the entire workstation experience from the datacenter to the end user in full fidelity (full frame rate and access to 3D/HD media).
  • Simplicity: Reduce heat and noise with easy-to-deploy PCoIP Zero Clients.
