Customer Story
A global creative company keeps artists’ workstations in the cloud—so artists can work securely from anywhere
A creative partner for advertising agencies, production companies, and brands, this company has offices on three continents. Specialties include visual effects, creative technology, and video production.
Artists at the company create visual magic using demanding applications such as Autodesk Flame and Maya, Foundry Nuke, Adobe AfterEffects, AVID Media Composer, and Baselight.
Teradici CAS is the best remote access solution for design work in the cloud. Our artists especially like being able to use 4K UHD on large monitors and the great experience with Wacom Cintiq devices, like pen pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition.
