AMD SKY Technology

AMD FirePro S-series cards and AMD SKY technology enable high-quality Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Virtualized Workstation installations by accelerating graphics content via AMD GPUs deployed in the cloud. With AMD FirePro S-series cards, engineering, financial, educational, medical and other workstation applications can be used seamlessly by professional users working on thin or zero clients but with near-native response times, for a graphically rich and highly responsive experience.

When AMD Radeon Sky series cards and AMD SKY technology are combined, service providers can stream multiple games from the cloud to consumers, delivering a high-quality, low-latency gaming experience to a wide variety of devices.

AMD SKY technology is compatible with middleware from third parties, like Ubitus, Eureva, G-Cluster and Leap Computing, and also features the AMD RapidFire SDK for optimal desktop or application remoting. There are a number of features that address the specific needs of each workflow. This simplifies the manipulation of key hardware controls and provides HD visual quality, minimal latency and optimal network bandwidth resulting in a compelling and responsive experience from any device over the Internet.
