NVIDIA GRID™ K1 AND K2 GRAPHICS-ACCELERATED VIRTUAL DESKTOPS AND APPLICATIONS

NVIDIA GRID™ technology offers the ability to offload graphics processing from the CPU to the GPU in virtualized environments. This gives the data center manager the freedom to deliver true PC graphics-rich experiences to more virtual users for the first time. IT managers can now: Leverage industry-leading virtualization solutions, including The NVIDIA GRID K1 and K2 boards H.264 Encoding² GRID K1 boards, which include four Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware provide: Kepler-based GPUs and 16 GB of The Kepler GPU includes a high- Add the most graphics-intensive memory, are designed to host the performance H.264 engine capable of users to virtual solutions GPU Virtualization¹ maximum number of concurrent encoding simultaneous streams with GRID boards feature the NVIDIA® users. GRID K2 boards, which include Improve the productivity of all users superior quality. This provides a giant Kepler™ architecture that, for two higher-end Kepler GPUs and leap forward in cloud server efficiency the first time, allows hardware 8 GB of memory, deliver maximum by offloading the CPU from encoding Users can now: virtualization of the GPU. This means density for users of graphics- functions and allowing these multiple users can share a single intensive applications. Explore highly responsive windows functions to scale with the number of GPU, improving user density while and rich multimedia experiences GPUs in a server. 24/7 Reliability providing true PC performance and Access all critical applications, compatibility. Power Efficiency GRID boards are designed, built, and including the most 3D-intensive tested by NVIDIA for 24/7 operation. GRID GPUs are designed to provide Low-Latency Remote Working closely with leading server Access their most important apps data center-class power efficiency, vendors such as IBM ensures that from anywhere, on any device Display including the revolutionary new GRID cards perform optimally and NVIDIA's patented low-latency remote streaming multiprocessor, called reliably for the life of the system. display technology greatly improves "SMX". The result is an innovative, the user experience by reducing the proven solution that delivers Widest Range of lag that users feel when interacting revolutionary performance per-watt with their virtual machine. With this for the enterprise data center. Virtualization Solutions technology, the virtual desktop screen GRID boards enable GPU-capable is pushed directly to the remoting Maximum User Density virtualization solutions from Citrix, protocol. NVIDIA GRID boards have an Microsoft, and VMware, delivering the optimized multi-GPU design that flexibility to choose from a wide range helps to maximize user density. of proven solutions.
