3XS Cloud workstations
Cloud Workstations for Pro Video
3XS Systems graphics workstations are the gold standard when it comes to Pro Video applications. Powered by professional-grade NVIDIA RTX GPU accelerators, all the capabilities of our award-winning 3XS workstations are now available in the cloud from any device, anywhere. The Cloud Workstation service powered by Scan Cloud, enables any organisation to take advantage of highly responsive GPU-accelerated compute without the need to invest in on-premise hardware and its associated maintenance. Available in rental increments as small as one month, Cloud Workstations can be used as little or as often as needed.
GPU-accelerated
NVIDIA RTX GPUs lie at the heart of our cloud service, delivering cutting edge performance and features for professional graphics workloads.
Scalable
As your business needs develop additional Cloud Workstations can be quickly spun up and additional storage brought online.
Flexible
3XS Cloud Workstations are available in a wide range of configurations, tuned for the different users and workloads in your organisation.
Cost-effective
Available in monthly commitments paid for from OPEX, there is no upfront outlay from CAPEX or ongoing maintenance costs associated with on-premise hardware.
Secure
3XS Cloud Workstations are hosted in secure datacentre environments so the cloud experience will not compromise the integrity of your data.
Trusted
As an NVIDIA partner, Scan provides guidance throughout your cloud service - from a free guided proof of concept to personalised workstation configurations.
Optimised for Pro Video applications
We understand how important it is to tune workstations for specific workloads and applications. The 3XS Cloud Workstation range includes multiple profiles, specifically designed for the most popular workloads. As 3XS Cloud Workstations support any standard Windows-based DCC application, our specialists can create a custom profile for you if required.
Editing
NLE editing requires a well-balanced system configuration with a good blend of high frequency CPU cores and an NVIDIA RTX GPU, plus suitable RAM and high-performance storage for the resolution you are working at.
Colour Grading
While Colour Grading requires a system with a respectable CPU, RAM and storage, the key to responsive performance is one or more NVIDIA RTX GPUs.
Visual FX
VFX is a key component in every project, from film making to video games and television production. We understand the unique requirements of VFX applications and have NVIDIA RTX GPU-heavy profiles with large RAM capacities, ideally suited to this demanding task.
Popular Applications
Accelerated by NVIDIA RTX GPUs
The most powerful professional visualisation and compute GPUs are the NVIDIA RTX series. RTX GPUs, delivered virtually by 3XS Cloud Workstations bring a host of features to the professional user enabling far greater creativity, control and capability.
Real-Time Ray Tracing
RTX GPUs realise the dream of real-time cinematic-quality rendering through optimised ray-tracing APIs such as Microsoft DXR - providing the ability to render photorealistic objects and environments in real time with perfectly accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions.
AI Enhanced
RTX GPUs add powerful AI-enhanced capabilities into visual applications. This dramatically accelerates creativity by freeing up time and resources through intelligent manipulation of images, automation of repetitive tasks, and optimisation of compute-intensive processes.
Features of Scan Cloud
Each Cloud Workstation instance is provided with at least 500GB of high performance SSD storage for the operating system and applications. Storage of project data, such as models, textures and video is provided via dedicated cloud storage nodes that can be accessed by the Cloud Workstations in your account. Our application specialists will work with you to identify the optimum capacity for this shared storage, which can be easily scaled as your needs develop.
