Citrix extends vgpu hypervisor support -


At Citrix, we are willing to take advantage of the promise of the first made VMware in March 2014 at the NVIDIA GTC Conference , The announcement was to support a virtual graphics processing unit or vgpu, their vSphere Hypervisor. Following today's announcement this vgpu support will be generally available from March 12, 2015. It was in Tech Preview been to existing VMware vSGA and VDGA Horizon customers since October 2014

What does that mean?

not virtualize the GPU clients need CapEx in expensive, dedicated graphics cards to their users to invest local device. Instead, they can NVIDIA GRID vgpu K1 or K2 cards to their backend server hosting virtual applications and desktops, the book on XenApp and XenDesktop. The NVIDIA driver is loaded into the VM directly from the hypervisor, the vgpu allows simultaneous multiple user be shared, while the high performance maintained they expect and demand.

already support

Citrix customers of XenServer should be aware of vgpu that have been in place since December 16, 2013 [turn

Before Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop had this capability, users graphically enabled applications required expensive and powerful workstations under her desk, the installed each with dedicated GPU hardware on site. Thereby the user's ability is not only severely limited by work anywhere on any device, but opened it wide concern security and compliance organization.

Think about it, the user would often load the data files that are required to render them with their dedicated GPU on the same local machine. Often businesses need to use talent in different countries to deliver projects on time, sometimes working with contractors and subcontractors. Instead in the safe confines of the enterprise server of living, intellectual property was loose "in the wild" and vulnerable to physical theft and misuse.

A new way of working

NVIDIA GRID technology enables customers to share the advanced graphics rendering capabilities of a single powerful NVIDIA GPU across multiple XenApp and XenDesktop users. Under the hood GRID-aware hypervisor - Citrix XenServer and with today's announcement, VMware vSphere - enabling these applications to understand and use the multithreaded graphical processing capabilities of the NVIDIA GRID card on compatible server hardware. This ensures an accelerated graphics workstation user experience, providing reduced costs, protects intellectual property and allows a wide range of users including designers, power users and knowledge workers.

The essential difference in this new way of working is to enable productive on 3D applications and HD video from any device, anywhere, without either the power or to impair safety. Users can get the same performance and application compatibility, which had previously been only on their local workstations, only now powered by XenApp and XenDesktop Mobile workspaces with electricity.

Citrix has made this even further, and now companies can choose the virtual possess necessary infrastructure for mobile workspaces provide or simply to provide a cloud service to any part of the world. In any case they are free to choose whether they prefer on the site VMware or Citrix XenServer hypervisor or select a Cloud Platform service providers as the platform underlying.

provide not only designers

Typically, when we. On the graphics processing and vgpu we talk tend to "user" to focus on the known graphics The CAD engineer or designer, which rotate and manipulate 3D models.

But as we have seen in the Microsoft Preview Event, and the core of Windows 10 operating system was deliberately designed in a graphics platform. Thus we see the growing demand for GPUs in more day by day and all usage scenarios. Also productivity applications such as Microsoft Office with its straps Menu fancy transitions and rich graphical user interface for PowerPoint, Word and Excel products can significantly benefit from GPU.

As the newer versions circulated, the most effective, safe and economical way organizations need to answer the increased demand for graphics capability. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop designed that the demand to meet, a proven solution already used by hundreds of customers as we speak.

Support

A large number of users of Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop to succeed, further use and officially supported on VMware vSphere Hypervisor popular for non-graphics workloads. Citrix will offer the same level of quality support for customers that provide XenApp or XenDesktop for NVIDIA GRID vgpu, from day one, the VMware vSphere 6 is generally available (March 12, 2015) with the ability.
