VMware and NVIDIA
High-Performance Graphics and Compute for Virtual Desktops and Workstations
VMware and NVIDIA have partnered to deliver high-performance 3D graphics and compute for virtual desktops and workstations. Customers can get a graphics experience that's equivalent to dedicated hardware delivered with the cost-effectiveness that only GPU virtualization can provide.
With VMware Horizon and NVIDIA Quadro Virtual Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS), designers and engineers get GPU rendering, simulation and 3D graphics, giving the them flexibility to work from anywhere, on any device. At the same time, VMware Horizon with NVIDIA GRID enables organizations to accelerate digital transformation enabling a native PC like experience for modern business apps and Windows 10.
