Virtual Desktop Infrastucture (VDI)
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) let users connect remotely a to the same centrally shared hardware. Since processing is done on the server, the hardware requirements for end-user devices are much lower. Users can run performance-demanding applications remotely from basic laptops or even tablets. The centralized server can be virtualized with software such as Nvidia GRID VDI which provisions each user’s individual needs for processing GPU power.
As all computers are managed, deployed, and updated centrally, it becomes an easily scalable, cost-effective solution which also ensures top level security. Using virtualization technology, several desktop operating systems can run simultaneously, for instance Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux. Many industries benefit from VDI today. From CAD designers and financial analysts requiring extra compute resources, to warehouse workers, call-center agents or scholars in a library, requiring just a small set of applications.
Key features of VDI optimized systems
- Physical room and sufficient power for several GPUs, RAM and disks as required by the use case
- For Windows 10 VDI environment a minimum of 1GB GPU RAM has to be assigned to each user, so make sure to select GPUs with appropriate RAM amounts
- Fast local storage for user files might be needed, depending on the user profiles and network setup
Nextron is a Nvidia partner with all relevant competencies (Tesla, Quadro and VDI), so we are happy to help design a VDI solutions optimal for your requirements.
