Case Study: Arcadis Achieves High-Performance GPU Visualization with Softdrive

Arcadis boosts GPU performance 5x with Softdrive

Arcadis, a global architecture and engineering consultancy, faced significant challenges when shifting its visualization team to a cloud-based workstation. The team, which runs highly GPU-intensive applications on complex global projects, found that Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop failed to meet their performance benchmarks, resulting in software crashes and a refusal by users to work with the solution due to its lag and high costs.

Softdrive, in partnership with Oracle, provided a high-performance virtual desktop solution that overcame these challenges. The Softdrive client delivered a major benefit for heavy GPU users, eliminating lag and enabling the team to run demanding applications like Lumion and Revit at 60 FPS. The solution provided 5x better performance than RDP at 50% less cost than Azure, supporting Arcadis's strategic goals of scalability, operational efficiency, and cost savings.
