NICE offers leading software products aimed at company-wide management and optimization of computing and visualization resources.
NICE DCV manages 3D applications balancing the users’ sessions in the Cloud or on-premises. DCV is a remote visualization technology enabling secure and optimized access to Windows and Linux desktops and is designed for technical computing applications with a specific focus on graphic-intensive workloads.
DCV enables real-time remote working and collaboration among users via interactive sessions sharing – allowing sharing of a single physical or virtual GPU among multiple Linux sessions, while maintaining full graphic acceleration and workstation-class performance.
Overview
Transferring pixels, instead of data, results in reduced network traffic, increased application performance, and improved security by keeping the data within the data center, also allowing for a better utilization of available hardware resources.
Designed to satisfy the requirements of the most demanding technical computing users, NICE DCV provides unprecedented performance with all major CAD, CAE, petrotechnical, medical and scientific visualization applications.

NICE Desktop Cloud Visualization (DCV)
Desktop Cloud Visualization is a remote 3D visualization technology which enables secure and optimized remote access to Windows and Linux desktops with a specific focus on graphic-intensive workloads.
How NICE DCV works
In a typical 3D visualization scenario, a software application uses local resources (CPU, memory, etc.) and sends a stream of graphics commands to a graphics adapter (GPU) installed on the workstation. The GPU renders the data into pixels and outputs them to one or more local displays. With NICE DCV, all applications run natively on remote hosts, which may also be consolidated and virtualized. The native GPU driver renders the scene geometry and graphics state on the remote physical or virtual GPU, and pixels are compressed and sent over the network to clients for local displaying.
