Arch's Cloud
Platform Features
Facility (Data Center) Orchestration
FACILITY PROVISIONING & DEPLOYMENT
With Arch's intuitive dashboard you can build, manage and monitor cloud resources: workstations, compute farms, storage, licensing servers, security broker, connection manager, and more. Add on-prem resources to view on a single-pane-of-glass. Manage teams, roles and permissions. No AWS DevOps degree required.
GLOBAL LOCATIONS
You have all the power of Arch and AWS combined. More than 32 launched regions, 102 availability zones, and 550 points of presence enable deployments of facilities close to where work is being done, assuring low latency, high-performance experiences.
CLOUD + ON-PREM
Give your team more choices by making your on-prem workstations available alongside cloud ones on a single-pane-of-glass. Free up IT resources by launching and managing the capacity you need with cloud resources.
Single Sign-On & Active Directory
Our team has the expertise you need for integration specific to your AD implementation. Combined with an Arch Managed Service plan, updates are supported.
Similar to SAML, SCIM integration for identity and provisioning management across domains and/or IT systems is also available.
Arch's Enterprise tier supports SAML integration for authentication and authorization to meet your organization's SSO IT requirements.
Every Arch platform tier of service includes support for single sign-on to Arch resources via integration with off-the-shelf IDP services (e.g. Google, Microsoft).

Workstations, Teams & Groups
Create and manage collections of end-users as teams. Workstation Groups can then be made accessible to Teams and visa versa. Teams will adore having the right workstation performance for whatever type of work they're doing.
Create and manage collections of workstations as Groups. This simplifies the process for end-users to choose workstations appropriate to the type of work being performed by them and their Team. Remote workstation access is provided by HP Anyware, Parsec or NiceDCV.
By templating image pipelines and combining them with workstation machine types, it's a breeze to deploy a fully configured workstation specific to any type of workflow.
Image pipeline tools used to automatically deploy a tested combination of apps, plug-ins and OS on a workstation. These support the immediate build of workstations aligned with specific user workflows.

COMPUTE FARM
STORAGE
Easily set up and manage any type of utility server, like Wiki servers, Iconik Storage Gateways, computers for testing apps, and Shotgrid event servers, for example. AWS workstation class computers are not included in this category.
Solutions like Perforce can be implemented across teams and groups of workstations for enterprise-scale DevOps, with support for version control, application lifecycle management, agile planning, collaboration, and more. Arch has partnered with leading digital and media asset management solution providers, like Iconik.io and frame.io to streamline a wide variety of content creation and development workflows.
Complete jobs quickly at a fraction of the cost with scalable compute applied to jobs like rendering, simulation, code-build, and AI training. Arch makes it simple to set up and manage AWS nodes for intensive compute jobs.
Now it's fast and easy to manage a range of best-in-class storage options, like high performance solutions from AWS, Lucidlink, WEKA, Hammerspace and others. Never pay for or maintain storage you don’t need — elastic storage capacity scales with your projects.
Metrics & Analytics
Security
Arch incorporates enterprise-grade security to keep content safe in the cloud. Arch facilities live in a secure virtual private network only accessible to your teams who demand high performance compute. Our architecture satisfies the most demanding organizations and passes frequent enterprise audits.
Real-time insights to infrastructure and workstation metrics that help you properly size AWS machines, troubleshoot user performance issues, and manage AWS charges. Includes active daily users, CPU utilization, workstation & storage utilization/status and various infrastructure components status.
