Anyone who has played online games has experienced the power of virtually controlling a high-performance remote server application. When gaming, it may feel like you’re on your desktop or the latest version of your favorite console, but you’re actually using these devices to virtually control activity in a cloud computing environment. This virtual setup allows you to move and operate at speeds that may surpass the capability of your local desktop computer. What if you could apply this same cloud gaming concept to controlling virtual workstations running all of your creative applications?
IO Integration has made this concept a reality with our new product, IO Studio. IO Studio is the newest addition to the IO Space creative operations cloud infrastructure. IO Studio provides online gaming technology that empowers your remote teams with the speed and flexibility they need to get to the next level.
What is IO Studio?
IO Studio is a virtual creative production studio that enables remote creative teams to work at speeds that are as fast or faster than an on-premises server. Working remotely on high-resolution Photoshop, video, or other creative production files can be a challenge when it comes to bandwidth. Long download and upload times can halt the flow of production and frustrate creatives as they wait for files to transfer. IO Studio delivers a virtual production studio in the cloud that can be controlled from any remote desktop computer. Working in the cloud removes the need to constantly check-in and check-out work-in-progress files because the assets are never actually residing on the desktop.
Why do I need IO Studio?
Remote workforces will continue to grow as virtual teams become the standard for most companies. Adopting technologies designed especially for these workers will be business critical. Creative production teams in particular have challenging workflow requirements. When working with very large assets, speed and file transfer times become essential for teams to maintain productivity and positivity. No one wins with long lag times and uncooperative VPNs. IO Space solves all of these challenges while providing the ultimate collaborative environment that can be scaled as your needs and requirements grow. Like online gaming, remote creatives will work together in the same virtual studio. With IO Space your workers will know that even if they are not physically together, they are all working on the same team.
