CASE STUDY which requires large amounts of processing power similar to what is seen in online gaming , to any customer device .
To achieve this , we decided on Nutanix Frame , a DaaS solution that can stream high performance and graphics-intensive applications running on top of the Nutanix Cloud Platform managed by TierPoint to a standard web browser on end-user devices .
Via a connection to this environment through our website , customers can have a high-end digital experience regardless of device .
What were the benefits of having the project delivered in a private cloud environment ?
Bear Builder 3D Workshop requires a unique host configuration to support a large number of concurrent users within the 3D store experience .
Other competitive cloud configurations are generally not available for the GPUs and software stack required for this particular project . Nutanix and TierPoint built a custom solution that matched our specific needs rather than selecting from preconfigured options that would not have enabled the unique customer experience we wanted to create .

Bear Builder 3D Workshop allows us to better connect with consumers who are seeking the fun and emotion that comes with our iconic store experience even though they may not be able to visit one of our stores .
