Industries and Use Cases for hosted graphic-rich

applications

A “graphics-rich” application is used by engineers, designers,

etc. to perform complex tasks

that typically require 3D

rendering and pixel-perfect

graphics.

Licenses tend to be expensive!

Examples: Autodesk® AutoCAD

® and Revit ® software, Avid ®

Media Composer ® software

What is a “graphics-rich” application?

Oil & Gas

Aerospace

Automotive

All about the money:

Perform tasks that are critical to an organizations

business goals and revenue

Utilized by employees for whom time is money – any

loss in productivity results in lost revenue and extra

expense.

Why host these applications?

Save money and improve productivity!

Improve workflow: Co-locate data

and applications in the data center

Secure IP: Keep data off end points that leave the building

Enable mobility: Application is

available from any client device at

any location

Decrease license fees: Multiple users

share a single application license
