AutoCAD on a tablet? You bet, using Azure GPUs

Frame has revolutionized high-performance workstation computing by running the most demanding applications in the cloud. Using a cloud-native architecture, Frame lets designers, engineers, and content-creation professionals securely run beefy 3D applications in the public cloud of their choice from any device, using just a browser. Frame offers a premier version of its service using Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines N-Series, which feature the NVIDIA Tesla graphics processing units (GPUs). Using these premium GPUs, Frame offers the industry’s fastest performance for workstation applications and can deliver its service in minutes versus months, anywhere in the world.

Until recently, engineers, designers, architects, and animators required workstations costing anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000 to run sophisticated 3D graphics applications. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions helped somewhat, allowing these applications to be run on remote servers and delivered virtually, but those solutions typically take months to set up and are expensive. Frame has introduced game-changing technology that lets power users run demanding workstation applications in the public cloud, from any device—even a tablet computer—using just a browser.
