Amazon EC2 running Microsoft Windows Server is a fast and dependable environment for deploying applications using the Microsoft Web Platform. It provides a stable, secure, and high-performance execution environment for the NVIDIA GRID driver that supports streaming for four monitors with resolutions of up to 4K (4096x2160), hardware encoding to support up to 10 H.265 (HEVC) 1080p30 streams, and up to 18 H.264 1080p30 streams per GPU for faster video frame processing and improved image fidelity. This enables 3D rendering and 3D visualization applications, graphics-intensive remote workstations, video encoding, and virtual reality applications.
