ou may not think that the worlds of gaming and business are an ideal mix but think again as a new solution created in partnership between Cloud computing tech provider Radian
Arc and Loudplay bypasses the costs of hardware upgrades, enabling consumers to experience the latest in gaming on any device, and businesses can set up their employees for remote or hybrid work with a powerful but flexible cloud solution. Tis joint Radian Arc / Loudplay solution will let users play AAA

Please could you tell us a bit more about the Radian Arc partnership with Loudplay and what this will deliver in terms of GPU Edge infrastructure? Our partnership with Loudplay provides telco customers with a desktop virtualisation platform suited for both consumer and business uses. With Radian Arc’s patented GPU Edge infrastructure, which is directly installed into telco networks to process data as close to the end user as possible, Loudplay can offer lower latency for both gaming and enterprise applications and expand its user base across the globe.
Please could you explain more about the latest capabilities in enabling end users to run the latest games on laptops, mobile phones, and smart TVs at a fraction of the price of high-end computers?

AAA games generally cost $60 or $70, the latest consoles cost around $500, and a top of the line gaming PC easily will run for more than $1,000 (if you can find all the components during a chip shortage). Radian Arc and Loudplay’s Cloud PC solution basically allows users to virtually rent a powerful PC in the cloud and stream it to a personal device. Most people have smartphones and tablets, or a laptop less powerful than a gaming PC.
