VMware and NVIDIA collaborate to improve VDI performance

VMware and Nvidia are collaborating to implement the Quadro's Virtual Graphics platform on VMware View.  Since the advent of server-based computing, handling graphics-intensive tasks has always been a challenge, but performance has gradually improved.

Graphically intensive applications (CAD and Media Rendering) will be accessible from almost any device without being tied to a fixed location.

The solution uses a dedicated Nvidia Quadro card on the host and a graphics driver in the virtual desktop. There isn’t a firm date for when the View and Quadro Virtual Graphics will start shipping, but VMware is hoping that some users will be able to start testing before the end of the year.
