VMware Graphics Virtualization Goals

Most flexible platform for all graphics needs

Broadest coverage of all use cases

Highest scalability across use cases

Full application compatibility

5 5

Overview

Benefits

• Enables DirectX 9 and OpenGL 2.1 apps

• No physical graphics card required

• Lower initial VDI CAPEX

• No Windows client side dependencies

Soft 3D – Basic 3D without Graphics Card

Software renderer provides 3D to productivity apps

• Basic 3D graphics capabilities

for productivity workers

• Targeted at Task and Knowledge Workers

who need AERO or applications that

require 3D graphics

• Requires additional CPU and reduces

consolidation, but enables 3D for light

use cases.

6 6

Overview

Benefits

Cost effective with multiple VMs sharing

single 3D graphics card

Full compatibility with vMotion, DRS for

hosts lacking physical 3D graphics cards

vSGA – Shared 3D Graphics Among Multiple Virtual Machines

Run rich 3D applications with shared resources

Enables shared access to physical 3D

graphics cards for high performance

graphical workloads

Desktops see abstracted VMware SVGA

device for maximum virtual machine

compatibility & portability

Share single 3D graphics card

with multiple virtual machines

7 7

vSGA – Shared 3D Graphics IS Highly Scalable Solution Today

Over 100 users running typical office applications on 3D desktops

Up to 32 users running CAD applications such as Solid Works or

Solid Edge

• Setup: A mid-range 2-socket x86 server (Dell 720) with two Tesla GPUs

A THRIVING MARKET

Blockbuster games, MMOs and free-to-

play business models are fueling a

PC gaming market that will grow to $20B

by 2016. GeForce GPUs are the engines behind the creation

and enjoyment of this thriving

market.

THE CHOICE OF PROFESSIONALS

Quadro GPUs help the

world’s designers bring their visions to

life. They rely on photorealistic

renderings — like this one of the McLaren P1 — to create their

designs without physical

models.

THE BEST IN VISUAL

EFFECTS

2013 marked the

fourth year in a row when all films

nominated for the Best Visual Effects Academy Award were created on

Quadro GPUs, including Oscar-

winner Life of Pi.

ACCELERATING COMPUTING

GPUs have become

an important catalyst in the

advancement of science and

technology — enabling tremendous

breakthroughs by simply enabling us to do more, faster. Many of the world’s

most powerful supercomputers run

on Tesla GPUs, including TITAN at Oak Ridge National

Labs.

ANALYZING BIG DATA

Top enterprise and mobile application

companies are using Tesla GPUs to tackle

big data analytics and advanced

search. For example, Shazam uses GPUs to instantly search and identify songs from its 27 million track database for its 300

million users.

What is GRID?

AMAZING GAMING

ANYWHERE

NVIDIA GRID gives

gamers the freedom to play the most

graphics-intensive games from the cloud

on any display.

GAMING UNTETHERED

SHIELD is a portable that lets gamers play both Android and PC

games with the benefits of a console-

grade controller, a five-inch retinal

screen, and exceptional sound

from tuned port, bass reflex speakers.

RICH GRAPHICS ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE

With NVIDIA GRID technologies, large enterprises can deliver amazing graphics to their mobile workforces on any device. And creative professionals in smaller shops can access graphics-intensive apps with uncompromised performance.

Every notebook, tablet

and smartphone has a GPU GPUs delivers a better visual

experience by offloading work that the CPU is not efficient at

processing (Direct X, OpenGL, Video)
