Why the small "v" in vgpu? -

technology that adds so much value should be "activated".

Well, that may seem like a naughty seem tracks, but if you see in the value is the graphical processing unit of virtualizing it makes perfect sense. Actually more like dollars and cents. Okay, enough to play with the word for a blog post.

It used to be that graphics-intensive applications were reserved for automotive designers, bridge engineers and other CAD / CAM power users. These days, more and more different roles require the performance of a GPU in data modeling, that they use. And a common way to address this, these users had to ask a local device available (laptop) that had a dedicated GPU. Not only does this solution does not scale well, it often leads to store user sensitive data on the local device, near the physical GPU.

A trip to the doctor's office

Let. The example of my last visit to my doctor He had to go over the results of an MRI that was performed on the back. We sat at his "desk" down, he started his MRI modeling app and opened my Imaging file. He was able to turn my spinning photos to contact and explore them at an angle, which were honestly embarrassed. I have never in my tailbone from this perspective!

I'll spare you the diagnosis looked. But it's what I do not see that was more interesting, at least for me. When we sat down at his desk, he did not have a physical computer, he had a thin client. When he that MRI modeling he has launched app via Citrix Receiver. When he has opened my MRI imaging file he. From the data center drive If fast start the app, there was no delay from when he turned the picture and the image reacts. And when he selected areas, changing contrast, color added, it reacts with an accelerated graphics workstation-like experience. It was seamless.

Behind the Scenes

Well, let's say, what he does not see, and quite frankly, like a doctor about, was not not have what happened could in the data center. His IT department running a blade server with XenServer and XenDesktop on top of NVIDIA GRID vgpu . He started his virtual desktop from receiver and the access to my medical file that was stored securely in the data center, next to the vgpu. His desk took a standing available by the discs of vgpu, each 8 threads. And because the multi-threading capabilities of vgpu in hosted virtual desktops, only supported on XenServer, his colleagues could do the same with their patients simultaneously.

All this managed in a secure, scalable, and centrally virtual environment. It also allows this office to provide workstation-like graphics performance from an economic thin clients available. In fact found for XenDesktop virtual desktops and apps, this date could be done anywhere, on any device. Ask to check to a doctor to your home with a tablet device comes your test results.

This is not only limited to the medical field. Think of the opportunities in almost every industry. Manufacturing, Environment, Finance, Technology and so much more If you had the opportunity to provide users with the power of a dedicated GPU, but with the economy and the extent of hosted desktops, what would you do?
