NICE DCV PROVIDES CUSTOMERS WITH ENHANCED HPC CAPABILITIES, EASE OF ACCESS AND COST SAVINGS

Gurgaon, India — Nebula Cloud, a leading provider of secure high performance remote access, today announced its integration with NICE DCV, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) high-performance remote display protocol that provides customers with a secure way to deliver remote desktops from any cloud or data centre to any device. With the power of NICE DCV, Nebula Cloud customers can run remote visualization in high performance computing (HPC) workloads.

Nebula Cloud provides the critical connection-broker technology required for enterprises to achieve successful large-scale VDI, hosted desktop, or hosted application environments in both private and public clouds. The Nebula Cloud Connection Broker is vendor-independent, enabling enterprises to integrate the complex array of clients, back-end systems and protocols required for successful hosted desktop and application. 

NICE DCV is a high-performance remote display protocol 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. With NICE DCV and Amazon EC2, customers can run graphics-intensive applications remotely on EC2 instances, and stream their user interface to simpler client machines, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated workstations. Customers across a broad range of HPC workloads use NICE DCV for their remote visualization requirements. There is no additional charge to use NICE DCV on Amazon EC2.

“With native support for AWS, and a robust connection management and remote access feature set, our customers can manage their entire IT environment all from within the Nebula Cloud platform,” said Venkata B Ganugula, CEO, Nebula Cloud. “Now with our advanced integration with NICE DCV, customers, working with high performance graphics, can stream the visualization to remote clients, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated workstations. This is a huge cost and time savings for enterprise organizations.”

Hosting complex simulation and modelling applications is the best way to optimize resource utilization and maximize ROI. Nebula Cloud helps connect users to the appropriate application or desktop, using the appropriate high-performance display protocol, based on policy settings such as location and client device. 

Nebula Cloud’s logging provides organizations with audit-level tracking of machine usage and gives administrators control over how long a user retains ownership of a machine. Organizations can maximize utilization by sharing resources among users by leveraging Nebula Cloud pools and policies.

Benefits

High Performance 

With NICE DCV, you do not need to choose between responsiveness and image quality. The bandwidth-adaptive streaming protocol allows NICE DCV to provide near real-time responsiveness for your applications without compromising on the accuracy of the image.

Optimized Costs

Highly responsive streaming experience allows customers to run graphics-intensive applications remotely without the need for expensive dedicated workstations, or transferring large amounts of data from the cloud to client machines.

Flexible Deployments

Multi-OS compatibility and browser-based access provides service builders a stable and flexible protocol for streaming applications with support for both cloud and on-premises usage.

Comprehensive Security

NICE DCV streams pixels and not geometries to ensure customer data privacy. In addition, NICE DCV secures both pixels and end-user inputs using TLS protocol to ensure security of customer data.

Features

NICE DCV supports both Windows and Linux remote environments and offers native clients for Windows, Linux, and MacOS as well as an HTML5 client for web browser access. Native clients can support 4K resolution, multiple monitors, and features such as stylus/touch support, USB devices, multi-channel audio, smart cards, and file redirection.

DCV Session Manager makes it easy to programmatically create and manage the lifecycle of NICE DCV sessions across a fleet of servers. NICE DCV web client SDK enables developers to build customized NICE DCV web browser client applications.

Use cases

3D Graphics Visualization

HPC workloads across industry verticals such as Oil & Gas, Life Sciences, and Design & Engineering are getting increasingly complex and consume massive amounts of data. NICE DCV's streaming protocol eliminates the need to ship output files to client devices and provides a smooth and bandwidth-efficient experience to stream HPC 3D graphics remotely.

Browser-based Access to Applications

NICE DCV's Web Client works across any HTML5 browser and combines a responsive streaming experience with portability across mobile devices. The Web Client also reduces IT operational load by eliminating the need to manage native clients without compromising on streaming performance. You can build your own DCV Web Client using the Nice DCV Web Client SDK.

Custom Remote Applications
Custom remote applications and managed services can benefit from the ease of streaming protocol integration that NICE DCV provides. NICE DCV secures both pixels and end-user inputs using end-to-end AES-256 encryption with native clients supporting up to 4 monitors at 4K resolution each.
