NETFLIX USES NICE DCV FOR THEIR ARTISTS REMOTE WORKSTATIONS
“In order to enable artists around the world, Netflix set out to build a VFX studio in the cloud, powered by NICE DCV, a high-performance remote display protocol developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS), that provides customers with a secure way to deliver remote desktops and application streaming from any cloud or data center to any device, over varying network conditions. Now Netflix artists and partners have access to flexible, secure, high-performing, and cost-effective virtual workstations on AWS that remove technological and geographic barriers for artists and give them creative freedom to collaborate on Netflix’s VFX and animation content.

FilmLight trusts DCV for THEIR next-generation remote color grading SOLUTION
High-end color grading demands precision, low latency, and seamless collaboration—and that’s exactly why FilmLight chose DCV for their REMOTE color grading solution.
By pairing DCV’s ultra-responsive streaming protocol with an SRT-based JPEG-XS video stream, FilmLight REMOTE enables colorists to work from anywhere without compromising on accuracy or performance.
“Traditional remote desktop solutions fail to deliver the responsiveness required for color grading. FilmLight REMOTE overcomes this by using DCV for UI control and an SRT-based JPEG-XS video stream to maintain real-time interaction and supporting multiple 4K UI monitors.”

VOLKSWAGEN PASSENGER CARS USES NICE DCV FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE 3D REMOTE VISUALIZATION
NI SP has worked with Volkswagen over the last years to leverage the potential of NICE DCV for remote 3D Linux desktop users with high-end demand for CAE delivered by NICE DCV:
“More than 1,000 automotive engineers in the Volkswagen Passenger Cars division rely on multiple computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications, running on high-end Linux workstations, for use in crash safety and noise vibration harshness simulations. “Our engineers need computers with strong performance to do their work effectively,” says Gunther Mayer, IT specialist for research and development at Volkswagen Passenger Cars. For example, engineers create large simulations that show the noise created by air flowing over cars. These simulations often contain a terabyte of data. “For many years, supporting simulations that large was only possible sitting in front of high-end graphics workstations in our offices,” says Mayer.

LG ELECTRONICS USES NICE DCV TO ACCELERATE PRODUCT DESIGN
The LGE case story highlights how NICE DCV is used for high-end remote desktop access to CAE applications at LG Electronics in South Korea supported by our reseller ISBC. ISBC has done a great job in successfully delivering a high performant cost effective NICE DCV and EnginFrame solution.
“With the help of ISBC, LGE built a proof of concept in 2013 and started the production service the following year. Using NICE DCV, LGE engineers can remotely access CAE software and supercomputing systems running in an on-premises data center, and these systems can interact seamlessly. ISBC helped LGE set up and use NICE DCV alongside the CAE software as well as customize NICE EnginFrame, which simplifies the process of setting up and running technical and scientific applications.“
