Arch Platform Technologies Integrates Teradici PCoIP Tech

Cloud-based content creation SaaS platform provider Arch Platform Technologies has joined Teradici’s Advantage Partner Program, allowing Arch to integrate Teradici’s PCoIP remote display protocol and Cloud Access Software (CAS) into its offerings.

The Arch Platform allows users to create and manage cloud-based content covering visual effects, post-production, virtual production and other collaborative creative endeavors, and the addition of Teradici PCoIP technology will include features like high-fidelity resolution and lossless image reproduction, support for 4K resolutions and high frame rates (fps) for GPU-demanding editing applications.

“Working with Teradici allows us to offer our customers the highest fidelity remote desktop experience combined with world-class security protocols to support the most demanding visual effects and virtual production workloads that Hollywood can throw at us,” said Edward Churchward, co-founder and CTO of Arch Platform Technologies.

“Arch has changed the way I manage my VFX team,” said Harrison Marks, a visual effects producer whose titles include The Bourne Legacy, Patriot’s Day, Spencer Confidential, and the upcoming Distant. “The cloud-based workflow allows team members to share data and work collaboratively from around the globe efficiently. As current schedules require production and post-productions to overlap, using the Arch Platform had everyone working in sync from prep to wrap. The scalable nature of the Arch system allowed the team to expand and contract as the production required at the simple click of a button. The ease and efficiency easily outperformed pre-pandemic hardware systems. I have used Arch on three shows and hope to continue.”

Paul Austin, Teradici director of global channels, added: “The broad appeal and value of the Arch Platform is that creatives are able to focus on where their expertise lies — translating their vision using the tools they are most familiar with — rather than muddling through the details of the technology that makes it possible. At its core, this is a remote workstation that simply works.”
