Earlier this year, we announced Horizon View 5.2 which includes support for hardware accelerated graphics. Customers have been anxiously awaiting this technology as it opens up a lot of new use cases for desktop virtualization such as support for CAD and other graphically-intensive applications. At VMworld 2013 Europe, we’re pleased to offer several breakout sessions that highlight this technology. To give you an idea of what we’ll be talking about, watch this short video documenting the performance of 3D graphics in a Horizon View environment at North Carolina State University.
Below is a list of breakout sessions that highlight VMware’s 3D capabilities:
Tuesday, Oct 15, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
- EUC5524 – Graphics and Users in VDI
- Aaron Blasius, ESX – Product Manager, VMware
- Will Wade, Director of GRID, NVIDIA
Thursday, Oct 17, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
- EUC6888 – Best Practices for Deploying 3D Graphics with Horizon View
- Mike Coleman, Sr. Product Manager, VMware
- David Simons, Senior R&D Manager, VMware
In addition to these breakout sessions, come see a live demo at VMware’s booth. Also, one of our partners in graphics, NVIDIA, will be exhibiting on the show floor at booth #S104, giving personalized demonstrations and answering questions.
For those of you who like to get your hands dirty, we’ll have VMware 3D graphics Hands-on Labs available in the Hands-on Labs area. You’ll be able to try all flavors of VMware 3D solutions (soft 3D, shared, and dedicated) on a variety of workloads.
We hope you can attend one of the sessions above, visit us on the show floor, and/or see for yourself the end-user experience in the Hands-on Labs area to learn more about VMware graphics solutions. See you in Barcelona!
