Your best creative talent is remote, global, and often on contract. GPUs are scarce and expensive, and unreleased work can never leave your control. We stand up a production, multi-region Amazon DCV estate that puts a full GPU desktop in front of every artist in seconds, keeps their files and identity inside your own cloud, and does it in hours, not weeks.
Studios hire the best artists wherever they are, spin teams up for a title and down when it ships, and can't hand a drive full of unreleased IP to a contractor's apartment. A tower under every desk can't follow a global, project-based talent model, and cloud GPU capacity is genuinely scarce.
Sound familiar? Each one is something we solve. Here is how.
"Can't get a GPU when you need one?"
We place each session in whatever region has capacity, transparently, so an artist connects in seconds instead of hearing try again later. Their files and profile follow them there.
"Paying for workstations that sit idle?"
A pre-joined warm pool means you pay compute for sessions in use, not a fleet idling overnight. Instant experience, a fraction of always-on cost.
"Does onboarding a team take weeks?"
We provision a full multi-region estate in hours, driven by config, and bake CIS-hardened golden images with AI in about 48 hours.
"Work can't leave your control?"
Desktops join your existing Active Directory directly, with no extra managed component, and the assets never land on a local machine.
Six engineering decisions turn GPU VDI on AWS from a multi-week ordeal into something an artist never has to think about. Each is written up in depth.
Brokers, gateways, an access portal, and autoscaling GPU fleets, driven by config that deep-merges from environment to region to tier. Adding a region is a config directory, not a refactor. Read the deep dive →
We pre-pay the slow first-boot work into a stopped, pre-joined warm pool, so bringing a desktop into service is just a power-on. Sessions feel instant while you pay for stopped instances, not idle GPUs. Read the deep dive →
Sessions land wherever GPUs actually exist. ONTAP and FlexCache make an artist's multi-gigabyte files and Windows profile behave like local storage in that region, with write-back and distributed locking. Read the deep dive →
Every package carries a machine-checkable verify step. Using AWSTOE as a fast substrate, AI agents iterate each component to green, unattended, producing CIS-hardened images and repeatable recipes fast. Read the deep dive →
A studio in Berlin or Tokyo needs the OS and apps in their language. We derive a localized image chain from the English layers at plan time, so a new language is a few lines of config, not a second pipeline. Read the deep dive →
Fleets join your existing Active Directory directly, across regions, with no AWS Managed AD or AD Connector, plus disciplined orphan cleanup so ten thousand scale events don't litter your directory. Read the deep dive →
Any strong platform team can wire up a DCV server eventually. Getting it right at multi-region scale, with instant sessions that don't bankrupt you, capacity when your home region is dry, files that follow an artist across the world without corrupting, localized images from one pipeline, and an Active Directory that stays clean after the ten-thousandth scale event, is a rare combination. It is also not the thing your studio is trying to be world-class at. We have already made the expensive mistakes so you don't have to.
"Can't our platform team just stand up DCV?"
They can, and some do. What eats the quarter isn't the first desktop. It's instant sessions that don't run up the bill, capacity when the region says no, work-product that follows an artist without a last-writer-wins disaster, and a directory that doesn't rot under an autoscaling fleet. That is the part we have already built, and the part we operate for you.
Game studios, VFX and animation houses, and any enterprise whose people do their work in GPU-hungry creative tools. Deepest fit: globally distributed or contract-heavy creative teams, strict IP and security requirements, an existing Active Directory, and a leader who owns where the work runs.
A three-step relationship where the next step is always the obvious one, never a leap of faith.
A working session on your talent model, GPU footprint, IP and compliance constraints, and target regions, with a reference architecture and a costed plan you keep whether or not we build it.
Multi-region DCV, layered golden images, the warm pool, the access portal, and direct AD join, delivered in the hours-not-weeks fashion above, on your accounts and your keys.
We keep it healthy and add new regions, languages, and workloads as the studio grows, so your team never becomes the on-call for GPU desktops.
Written by our team. Start with the overview, then go as deep as you like.
A scoped consultation on your talent model, your capacity, your IP constraints, and your regions, with a reference architecture and a plan you own. No slide deck of generic advice.
