Gaming and design industry verticals are in need of hardware-intensive graphic applications. Even the latest generic productivity applications across various industry verticals demand non-trivial GPU capabilities. Moreover, the influx of rich HTML5 content on the web relies on having GPU capability, while providing a remarkable user experience. Graphics as a Service (GaaS), wherein visual computing can take on the role of a service as cloud computing has enabled decoupling of graphics hardware from any display, is expected to gain traction over the coming years.

With the emergence of graphics as a service, applications such as graphic design, video editing, and image processing can be provided with massive infrastructure requirements through cloud. Prominent graphic companies, including NVIDIA and AMD, are offering cloud-based graphic technologies to enable their customers to run high-end graphic applications through a web browser. The graphics as a service market is broadly classified into IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS.
