Unlocking the full potential of desktop virtualization for enterprises, NVIDIA and VMware announced that NVIDIAGRID technology is available on the VMware Horizon DaaS Platform to deliver 3D graphics on virtualized desktops and applications delivered through the cloud.
The combination offers the industry’s only multi-tenant desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) platform for service providers to deliver graphics-rich desktops and applications to customers requiring visual computing, such as engineering firms, automakers, movie studios and retail designers.
DaaS can improve productivity by enabling mobile access and remote collaboration for project teams or contractors in multiple locations by delivering graphics-intensive 3D applications to users anywhere, at anytime, on any connected device served. Multi-tenancy is a software architecture that enables a single instance of a software application to serve multiple customers — increasing agility and lowering costs.
“NVIDIA GRID technology has opened the door to virtualized visual computing for enterprises worldwide,” said Jeff Brown, vice president and general manager of Professional Visualization and Design at NVIDIA.“Working with VMware, we’re offering customers flexible access to GPU computing power via onsite virtualized environments or in the cloud. It will help enterprises improve employee productivity, while efficiently managing their hardware resources.”
