Remote viewing of data and / or software programs is assential for
- The efficient viewing of “big data” (e.g. geological analysis results or large 3D models)
- The visualization and simulation of project data produced (scientific visualization)
- The inspection and analysis data directly on while running on other systems and access to applications via the Browser
- The debugging and profiling of parallel code running on High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters
- The management of software program resources through a portal
Remote viewing is therefore a necessary tool in big data analysis, since scientific and design datasets fall within the gigabyte size range, it is difficult and extremely time consuming to send them, in full, over the network. In addition, extraction, processing, latency and rendering add up and make real-time interactive visualization a challenge.
Manipulation of large amounts of data or management of “data lakes” should take advantage of server-side application launches.
For example, server-side large data analysis avoids the transfer of GB or TB of data while scientific visualization can take advantage of the hardware (GPU, memory and CPU) available on the server side, allowing the user to access remotely to your data and view them efficiently on your local client.
Remote viewing of 3D models
HPC workloads in verticals such as Oil & Gas, Life Sciences and Design & Engineering are becoming increasingly complex and consume huge amounts of data.
Process remoting eliminates the need to send output files to client devices and provides a smooth and bandwidth-efficient experience for remote streaming of HPC 3D graphics.
Access to applications via browser
The web client of most DCVs works on any HTML5 browser and combines a responsive streaming experience with portability to mobile devices.
The web client also reduces IT operational load by eliminating the need to manage native clients across the enterprise without compromising streaming performance.
Custom
remote applications
Custom remote applications and managed services will benefit from the ease of integration of the streaming protocol offered by DCVs.
They support 4K resolution and integrate an encryption system to protect data sent over the network.
