Unleash the power of GPU workstations in the cloud
Reduce setup, maintenance and total cost of ownership.
“GPUs have evolved beyond graphics acceleration and are now used in a wide range of technology use cases, including gaming, scientific research and AI.”
Tech Tide: Computing Architectures, Forrester, 2023
IT environment for GPU workstations
GPU workstations are designed for compute-intensive tasks such as 3D rendering and therefore require specialised hardware. Not only are these systems often bound to central data storage and data centers, but they also need to be optimised in terms of software compatibility and network performance.
Challenges of traditional IT
- High investments for specialised hardware and software limited to individual workstations.
- Regular software and driver updates that are both time-consuming and can lead to potential incompatibilities and system failures.
- Limited mobility and flexibility as traditional GPU workstations are stationary and not optimised for remote access.
GPU workstations in the cloud with oneclick™
Discover the benefits of oneclick™ digital workplaces for GPU workloads in the cloud:
Flexible access possibility
Allow your teams to access GPU-intensive applications from anywhere without being tied to a stationary workstation, increasing collaboration and productivity.
Dynamic resource allocation
Dynamically allocate GPU resources to meet the specific needs of each demand group and software version at any given time without over-provisioning performance.
Quick bug fixes and updates
Fix technical issues and software updates centrally in the cloud, reducing maintenance while enhancing system availability.
Greater economic efficiency
Lower your total cost of ownership through the elimination of initial investment, less energy costs, reduced maintenance, fewer licensing costs, avoidance of overcapacity, higher labour flexibility and minimised downtime.
Improving the carbon footprint
Shift your GPU workloads to cloud data centers, which are often powered by renewable energy and better utilised to reduce your organisation’s energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Examples of use
Workday
before
A medium-sized architecture firm wants to equip its staff with powerful GPU workstations. This hardware is not only very expensive, but can also be difficult to obtain, especially in times of supply chain bottlenecks.
- Financial and operational burden
with oneclick™
GPU resources in the cloud are available on-demand. Since the compute-intensive tasks are performed in the cloud, employees can access these resources with less powerful, more affordable end devices.
- Swap high investments for ongoing, need-based costs

A company in the mechanical engineering sector uses specialised CAD software. The used GPU workstations require know-how for setup and maintenance.
- Effort for software installations, updates and troubleshooting
with oneclick™
A GPU solution in the cloud significantly reduces the need for specialised technical support. All software updates and bug fixes can be done centrally.
- Simplified setup, maintenance process and reduced downtime
