Now that you’ve hopefully recovered from the hustle and bustle of VMworld in late August, let’s review the plethora of activity that NVIDIA was involved in at VMworld in the U.S. First, there was a press release that announced a collaborative effort between VMware, Google, and NVIDIA to deliver high-performance virtual desktops and workstation-class graphics to Google Chromebooks. Watch a quick demo of this technology in action here. This press release not only highlighted this joint collaboration but also invited customers to apply for an early access program to experience NVIDIA vGPU technology on VMware vSphere. A short animated video explaining the benefits of GRID vGPU can be found here.
In addition to the press release, we featured a video during the VMworld keynote address delivered by Sanjay Poonen, the GM of End-User Computing that highlighted this joint collaboration.
Also, watch as Sumit Dhawan, GM of desktop products in End-User Computing discusses the NVIDIA-VMware partnership and extends an invitation to participate in the VMware and NVIDIA vGPU early access program.
And in case you were unable to attend VMworld, watch as Rory Clements, Group Manager in End-User Computing shows off some of the 3D graphics enabled demos that we had in our booth.
It was a busy VMworld for NVIDIA and we look forward to working together with them to further extend the power of desktop virtualization to even the most demanding 3D graphics use cases.
