Hypervisor
Virtual Machine Management
Hypervisor virtualizes underlying
hardware
Each user gets its own isolated virtual
desktop, applications and data
Relatively high technical requirements
Comparatively low user density per
server
Key Vendor Products:
Citrix XenDesktop VMware View Microsoft VDI Suite
RedHat RHEV for Desktop
VDI is best suited for knowledge workers, content producers where needs for customization and security are high

Virtual User Session (VUS)

Multiuser operating system supporting
multiple concurrent user session
Underlying hardware is not virtualized
Users share desktop, applications and
get their own data folders
Mature technology, low requirement
Comparatively high user density per
server
Key Vendor Products:
Citrix XenApp Microsoft Remote Desktop Service
Dell vWorkspace
Management
VUS is best suited for task workers, where computing requirements are relatively uniform, security concerns are low

Expected growth for Asia/Pacific
© IDC Visit us at IDC.com and follow us on Twitter: @IDC 10
VDI expected to experience high
growth, 5 yr CAGR at 38%
VUS growth remain consistent, 5
yr CAGR at 11%
By 2018, IDC expect 20+ million
users to use VDI across AP
By 2018, 40% of all VDI and
VUS sessions will be delivered
through cloud

Challenge Solution
Desktops today are very graphics
intensive
Virtual desktop with virtual CPU
graphic rendering produces subpar
user experience
User are less likely to tolerate poor
user experience
Limited user segments
GPU offload graphics processing off
CPU
Greatly improve virtual desktop
graphics performance, user
experience
Opens desktop virtualization to more
user segments
Able to replace workstations at greatly
reduced TCO

CPU handles graphics operations
No graphics acceleration
Poor graphical experience under load
Suitable for simple operations with low
graphic requirement
Supported by all VDI vendors

HYPERVISOR
GPU handles graphical operations
Each physical GPU is allocated to a
single VM
GPU bypasses Hypervisor, is managed
directly by driver installed in the VM
Delivers best possible graphical
performance
1 GPU per VM can be costly
Suitable for workstation and high-end
PC replacement

GPU handles graphical operations
Virtualized GPUs are delivered to each VM
directly
Actual GPU resources are managed by the
Hypervisor and allocated to VMs
Virtualized GPU resources are managed by
driver installed in the VM
Full GPU resource can be utilized and
allocated depending requirement
Deliver dedicated GPU like performance
Suitable for workstation and high-end PC
