Unleash the full potential of virtualization with NVIDIA virtual GPU technology—delivering immersive, secure, and high-performance experiences for every user, on any device.
NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) technology now enables any application to run in a GPU-accelerated virtual environment. This platform brings the power of NVIDIA GPUs to virtual desktops and apps, ensuring high-quality, immersive experiences for all users. IT teams can leverage graphics-accelerated cloud solutions to centralize applications and data, boosting security, productivity, and cost-efficiency.
Overview
NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software
While virtualization has long been a top priority for many organizations, adoption has been slow due to inadequate user experience. This has been caused by virtualized desktops lacking access to a GPU, which is a core component of every physical device today and is leveraged by all sorts of applications. Today, with NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) technology, you can virtualize any application and deliver it in a GPU-accelerated virtual environment.
NVIDIA virtual GPU is a graphics virtualization platform that extends the power of NVIDIA GPU technology to virtual desktops and apps. It delivers an immersive, high-quality user experience for everyone from engineers and designers to knowledge workers. NVIDIA Virtual GPU technology lets IT tap into a powerful graphics-accelerated cloud solution to centralize apps and data, with virtual workspaces that offer improved security, productivity, and cost-efficiency.
Organizations in every industry have accelerated their workflows and improved their desktop virtualization environment with NVIDIA virtual GPU technology.
