Cloud gaming has only scratched the surface of its potential, but it offers tremendous promise to those who love playing video games and those who provide gaming experiences. This service enables players to access and play a game live-streamed over the internet without downloading it on a local device. Even AAA games can be streamed with near-instantaneous response times for players without the need for expensive PCs or consoles – effectively lowering the cost of access for more gamers. Advances in bandwidth and cloud technology mean that people worldwide can join and compete, collaborate, and watch exciting gaming.

Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D modelling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform that helps organizations take professional product design and manufacturing to the next level. Powerful tools for engineering, design, and creation, as well as comprehensive electronics and PCB design capabilities streamline workflows making it possible to get more done in less time while getting quality parts out the door faster.

Keeping data private is a top priority for organizations of all sizes. With so many ways information can be compromised, it is little wonder that virtual private networks (VPNs) have been popular with businesses for decades. A VPN is a secure network connection that helps protect data and information by reducing the risk of online activity being tracked or monitored by third parties. They also encrypt data, helping keep it safe from hackers who want to steal information. VPNs have been a primary solution for providing security and privacy for employees while working remotely, enabling them to access corporate networks with a low chance of being hacked. A VPN can also help prevent unauthorized users from accessing company files and systems.

Used daily by millions of professionals and students alike, AutoCAD software is a cornerstone of professional design and drafting workflows. Now Autodesk has certified AutoCAD for the Radeon™ PRO V520 GPUs currently only available in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) G4ad instances. Organizations can enhance their operations with the flexibility, convenience, and cost benefits of a fully cloud-enabled AutoCAD environment while delivering a workstation-class experience to any worker anywhere.

The announcement that PTC Creo 3D CAD software has been certified to run on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) G4ad instances powered by AMD offers exciting opportunities for product design and manufacturing organizations. By virtualizing their PTC Creo desktops with AMD powered EC2 G4ad instances, businesses can take advantage of the cloud to improve workforce flexibility, encourage collaboration, and better manage their IT resources and expenditures. Certification by PTC is a critical step toward enabling firms to modernize IT infrastructure and optimize design and product lifecycle management (PLM) to improve workforce productivity and collaboration in a remote environment.

Creative professionals looking to embrace the flexibility and scalability of cloud-based workflows can now do so more cost-effectively with new AMD based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G4ad instances.

For years, baking lightmaps has been a necessary but time-consuming part of game development. Pre-calculating lighting information improves performance in-game, but consumes on-premises computing resources, tying up artists' workstations or valuable network machines for minutes – if not hours – at a time.

It's said that good things come to those who wait: it's just that it would be nice if they arrived quicker. Thankfully, for games studios, Incredibuild is there to help. The software, which distributes processes to every available CPU across a network, speeds up time-consuming, repetitive tasks like compiling tools, engine code and shaders: tasks that otherwise tie up workstations, leaving developers and artists sitting idle.
