NICE EnginFrame is integrated with NICE Desktop Cloud Visualization (DCV) and manages
your 3D applications balancing the users sessions in the Cloud or on-premises. DCV is a remotevisualization technology designed for technical computing applications. DCV enables real timecollaboration among users via interactive sessions sharing. Transferring pixels, instead of data,
results in reduced network traffic, increased application performance, and improved security bykeeping the data within the data center.
