WHY GPUs FOR VIRTUAL DESKTOPS 

AND APPLICATIONS?

Your smartphone has a GPU, your Tablet has a GPU, your PC has 

a GPU and your workstation has a high powered GPU. There’s a 

reason for this. The users expect a certain level of visual 

experience that you can’t get from a CPU alone. GRID enables 

VDI for everyone.

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL DESKTOP?

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is the practice of hosting 

a desktop OS within a virtual machine (VM) running on a hosted, 

centralized or remote server. It allows IT departments to offer 

a secure “access anywhere” desktop experience to end users.

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL APPLICATION?

A virtualized application, more commonly referred to as a virtual 

user session allows multiple users to run applications in a single 

OS (ie: Windows Server).

WHY NVIDIA?

Continuing our tradition of pioneering technology, NVIDIA’s 

Kepler Architecture is the world’s first virtualization enabled GPU. 

NVIDIA GRID K1 & K2 boards bring this technology to the widest 

breadth of partner products and solutions.

BY NVIDIA GRID

Imagine if responsive Windows and rich multimedia experiences 

were available via virtual desktop infrastructure, even those with 

intensive graphics needs.
NVIDIA makes this possible with NVIDIA GRID, a virtualized 

GPU that delivers a faster, interactive graphical experience to a 

variety of users across all devices.
