Today at the first-ever Shadow Spotlight keynote, cloud-computing specialist SHADOW, detailed its vision for the coming years.
Now a global cloud-computing company chaired by Octave Klaba, the OVHcloud founder, SHADOW is moving forward with a new cloud storage solution. With this re-launch, SHADOW is positioning itself as the definitive cloud platform, for gamers, creatives, and businesses.
It’s doing that by releasing its Shadow’s Power Upgrade, the best of its cloud-computing technology according to the company, available to anyone on any device. SHADOW’s original product launched in 2016 offering the aim of allowing all individuals to enjoy the power of a high-end PC with cloud software. The revamped Shadow subscription features an updated plan. While the starting price remains at $40.45 CAD (29,99 Euros) per month, the brand-new Power Upgrade is available for an additional $20.21 CAD (14,99 Euros.)
This new upgrade will help SHADOW realize its plan to introduce and sustain a more complete and adaptable offering, suited to everyone’s needs while offering new technology at the best price. SHADOW is still striving to keep its promise too; ” to democratize access to a PC with the latest components for as many people as possible, via the cloud, without needing to purchase a physical device.”
As for the configuration of the Power Upgrade, it involves an AMD EPYC 7543P CPU with 4 cores and 8 threads, the power of a high-end GPU, ranging from: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070-class, NVIDIA’s equivalent graphic cards tailored for professionals, AMD’s latest RDNA 2 based GPUs, including the AMD Radeon PRO V620 GPU designed for cloud-computing and gaming, as well as 16 GB of RAM. The model of the GPU included in specific Power Upgrade configurations will vary based on local data-center picks. Shadow will feature for the first time, AMD EPYC processors and AMD’s latest RDNA GPUs running innovative cloud streaming software solutions as part of its offerings. Details regarding GPU availability will be made available soon.
