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.
