Live migration of GPU-accelerated virtual machines (VMs) gives you continuous uptime and proactive management abilities—without negatively impacting users or losing data.
Management and Monitoring
Business Continuity and Workload Balancing
Increase utilization of data center resources by leveraging a unified, virtual GPU-accelerated infrastructure to run mixed VDI and compute workloads.
Resource Sharing and Improved Utilization
Divide GPU resources and share them across multiple VMs, or allocate multiple GPUs to a single VM to power the most demanding workloads.
Bare-Metal Performance
Get performance that’s nearly indistinguishable from a non-virtualized environment with flexible scheduling options.
Take a peek under the hood.
In a virtualized environment that’s powered by NVIDIA virtual GPUs, the NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software is installed at the virtualization layer along with the hypervisor. This software creates virtual GPUs that let every virtual machine share the physical GPU installed on the server. For more demanding workflows, a single VM can harness the power of multiple physical GPUs. vGPU software includes a graphics or compute driver for every VM. Since work that was typically done by the CPU is offloaded to the GPU, the user has a much better experience. Demanding engineering and creative applications, as well as compute-intensive workloads like AI and data science, can be supported in a virtualized and cloud environment.

Advance Workstyle Reform
“We had a telecommuting system in place, but CAD work could not be done without coming into the office, so designers were unable to use it. With the introduction of NVIDIA RTX vWS, we are no longer restricted to coming into work, and are able to schedule our day more freely.”
- Kazutaka Shimizu, Assistant Manager of ZEV B&D Lab, Toyota Motors Corporation
Connect Anytime, Anywhere
“One of our biggest challenges in the centre is space, which is limited in terms of health and safety regulations. The new system allows more staff to work offsite, which means we have more space available for patients.”
- Dr. Subhadip Ghosh-Ray, Consultant Head and Neck Radiologist, Lead Consultant for Information Technology, PSSC
Quickly Deploy New PCs
“...I was able to quickly prepare and provide the environment for about 50 virtual PCs.”
- Sho Wakamatsu, VDI Team Sub-Leader, Information System Department, Square Enix
Limitless Learning
“Without the NVIDIA GPUs, we could not run our demanding workloads or offer the classes for which they are crucial.”
- Julian Erber, DevOps Manager, Parkway School District
