VDWhy - Graphics for Virtual Desktops? Access from Anywhere - ‘Work isn’t a place’
High performance Workspace
Security and control - protect IP
Data is centralized - no sync of large datasets
Flexible - Support BYO and COPE scenarios
Disaster recovery – Multi-site and multi-datacenter
Reduce costs – centralized managed
Ergonomics – No heat and noise under the desk

Notes from the field
vGPU enabled VMs ≠ live migration
Same vGPU profiles per GPU; different profiles with same GRID board posible
Performance counters GPU vCenter
Memory reservation; K280K = 4GB
Snapshot VMs with vGPU
Remote Console; RDP

Notes from the field
“3D graphics for Virtual Desktops isn’t your mothers Virtual Desktop”
Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp and VMware vSPhere 6
Performance isn’t only about GPU!
Understand application usage;
UberAgent, GPU-Z, LakeSide can help here
Understand networking impact
Benchmarking ≠ production environment
58
Notes from the field Double check hardware vendor support (HCL)
Amount of GPUs supported by vendor, need GPU extension kit? Is it available? PSU capable?
Does the 3D graphics application vendor support the virtual desktop solutions.
Understand the limitations with thin clients amount of monitors, screen size, decoding capacity
Understand performance tuning ;-)
