The cloud is increasingly the de facto choice for centralizing IT infrastructure across a wide range of businesses and industries. Offering benefits including cost savings, reduced CapEx, flexibility, and scalability, the cloud is becoming the first choice for hosting internal and customer-facing workloads. With collaboration and remote work becoming norms, the cloud makes it easy to provide workers with the processing and shared data necessary to be productive in a dispersed team environment.

Autodesk has certified AMD-powered Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G4ad instances for use with one of its popular Media & Entertainment software. Certification gives game developers, visual effects artists and visualization professionals looking to take advantage of the power and flexibility of cloud-based workflows the assurance that key art tools will run as reliably on virtual workstations as they do on local machines and will receive the same level of vendor support.

Cloud-based and hybrid-cloud models are critical to evolving enterprise IT infrastructure, to support growth for on-premise and remote staff. Virtual Workstations delivered via the cloud make it possible for employees to be productive anywhere. Accessing critical digital tools and data using almost any device, staff can work as effectively from the office or remotely., One notable exception has been workers who require high-performance, graphics-accelerated workstations that power demanding 3D workloads such as product design and manufacturing.

Game developers looking to adopt the latest cloud-based workflows now have a powerful new option when shifting their production pipelines online: AMD based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G4ad instances.
