Paperspace has been busy building out their vision of the future of computer, and today it's here. They've launched now and are totally done with closed beta, so now anyone can now sign up and get their own desktop in the cloud. The Paperspace for Teams’ version of the product is a full Desktop-as-a-Service that gives organizations an alternative to buying clunky workstation computers.
This is a great team of hackers based in NYC with expertise in real-time streaming and GPUs.
They're one of my favorite Y Combinator companies and graduated back in W15. (Rumor has it they have killer gaming rigs coming up next and monster linux GPU rigs on deck!)

@garrytan You really do have to try it to believe it - they really have managed to pull off a desktop-like-experience in the cloud. Proud to back this team.
Hello everyone! Today is a big day for Paperspace - we are finally out of closed beta and are also introducing Paperspace for Teams.
Our major efforts these last few months have been in building out additional datacenter capacity, polishing our streaming algorithm and web receiver, and building out the interface to provision, manage, and operate on cloud VMs.
Some key differentiators between us and competitors (i.e. Amazon WorkSpaces, Citrix, VMWare, etc):
* All VM's have a GPU
* You can access your VM through a web browser (no plugin required)
* We have built our own hardware in two datacenters (East Coast and West Coast of US)

@dlnrb Hi Dillion, Quick question. Are you able to specify an IP address of the VM. Say I wanted to set a location to idk Nevada as an example?
@davidsfeng great question. Paperspace has seamless integration with most VPN setups (IPSec and OpenVPN). Once it's configured -- which is usually super fast -- your Paperspace VMs are directly connected to your office network.
Getting a machine fired up with Paperspace is insanely fast and simple. I remember the days of spending hours trying to get a virtual machine up and running. Never again. Big fan!
I've tested Paperspace extensively about four months ago(the single user version) and I gotta say that it blew my mind. It is really worth the money!
Just yesterday I signed up again and teste the "bring your own license" installation of Windows 10. Works like a charm!
till waiting for server availability in the EU to reduce latency, but then I'll definitely use it a lot. Results of my testing can be found here (in German though): http://t3n.de/news/paperspace-de...
This is an amazing concept - much like what SIXA is building, but your pricing tiers are super high..
We're building something similar for gamers (www.simplay.io), but I'm guessing you're focusing on developers and teams?
