Arch Platform Technologies, a platform for creating and managing cloud workstation infrastructure, and Wacom, which makes interactive pen displays and pen tablets, have partnered to bring Wacom Bridge support directly into the Arch Platform.

Thanks to this collaboration, creative and design pros will have a seamless experience when using a Wacom device in conjunction with a remote workstation. It enables users to maintain full driver support for their Wacom devices — including customized settings — with reduced latency, easy switching between local and remote desktops, and Wacom Inkline pen technology, allowing for a “local-like” feel even when connecting to a virtual workstation from a different location.

This allows artists, designers and imaging pros to work with their preferred Wacom pen displays and pen tablets from virtually anywhere, experiencing the same responsiveness and accuracy as if they were working locally. 

Benefits of the Integration:

• Enhanced Performance and Responsiveness: Wacom Bridge’s optimized remote driver protocol ensures minimal latency and maximum accuracy for pen input, providing a natural and fluid experience, even over long distances.
• Streamlined Workflows: The seamless integration simplifies the setup and management of remote creative environments, including support for roaming profiles, allowing users to focus on their work rather than technical complexities.
• Scalability and Flexibility: Users can rely on the inherent scalability and performance right-sizing features of the Arch Platform to manage workstation resources and to protect valuable assets, all while maintaining the Wacom user experience.
• Cost Efficiency: Users can reduce the need to over-provision compute power and pay only for what they need and use with the Arch Platform, accessible from nearly any computer connected to a Wacom device.

The integrated solution is available for a free trial with an Arch Platform trial or subscription and a free Amazon DCV license. Wacom Bridge is available for purchase directly from Wacom and its sales affiliates. Wacom Bridge through Amazon DCV supports Windows Server and Windows Client setups as well as MacOS clients.
