Cloud Gaming

With the expansion of broadband networks and the widespread usage of mobile devices, a new trend in gaming has emerged where the computational load is shifted to the cloud, while the client merely handles display and control. In this model, cloud servers undertake the task of 3D game rendering. Combined with GPUs, these cloud servers can encode each frame instantly and stream it to any devices connected to the network.

Leveraging the GPU and server CPU capabilities, this cloud gaming model uses ZStack Cloud’s GPU virtualization feature to divide the pGPU into multiple vGPUs you need and pass them through to VM instances. It creates a virtual gaming environment with enhanced isolation and smooth computation and rendering, providing you with an improved gaming experience.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

GPU has always been an integral part of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), for it not only enhances visual experience, but also takes on a primary computational role in special applications, making it a good substitute for traditional PC graphics workstation. Also, GPU enables you to perform 3D designs in a safer environment.

Through the GPU virtualization feature provided by ZStack Cloud, you can divide pGPUs into multiple customized vGPU devices and pass them through to VM instances. Coupled with protocols such as RDP or PCoIP, you can leverage GPU capabilities while optimizing resource utilization. It enables smooth operation of 3D designs or games, providing you with the VDI experience as great as that in a physical environment.
