VirtualDesktop

Scalable GPU accelerated Windows VDI:The increased graphics demands of Windows 10 applications drive the need for GPUacceleration to offload the server CPUs and improve the user experience. GPU acceleratedblade servers simplify the transition to Windows 10 with performance, efficiency andclass-leading density.

ApplicationDelivery

Enhanced experience for application flexibility:Whether delivering full desktops or individual apps, Windows 10 consumes more graphicsresources. GPU accelerated blades provide the scalability and performance to deliver graphicintensive applications. Use 3D graphics for an enhanced e-store shopping experience or todeliver the right tools for your creative and design professionals.

VirtualWorkstation

Realize VDI benefits for performance workstations:Blades provide the density needed to efficiently centralize workstations. Virtual workstationsshare virtual GPU resources across multiple users with advanced visualization and computeracceleration. Deliver anywhere access to performance workstations, while protecting valuableIP assets.

PerformanceComputing

Scalable and efficient high-performance computing:The density, efficiency and performance of GPU-accelerated blade servers help speed HPCapplications and big data analytics as well as machine and deep learning. Blades are ideallysuited for workloads that require both CPU and GPU compute resources.
