In an era of disruptive distribution models, increased consumer demands for high-quality visual effects, and shrinking production schedules and budgets, Media & Entertainment (M&E) companies have been tied to the desktop for too long.
To address the need for greater mobility and collaboration among creative professionals — and to provide opportunities for more iterations in less time — M&E companies are starting to turn to virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Revolutionary features, now included in NVIDIA’s virtual GPU software, enable artists to work productively from anywhere on almost any device with access to Windows-based applications, or even the Linux-, CUDA-, and OpenCL-based applications they rely on for production. With NVIDIA® Quadro® Virtual Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS), creative professionals can access the capabilities of a Quadro physical workstation in a VDI environment. With NVIDIA RTX™ Server, a solution built on NVIDIA RTX 6000 or RTX 8000 GPUs coupled with NVIDIA Quadro vDWS software, they can achieve exponentially faster rendering performance and spin up virtual workstation nodes when they're needed. Additionally, support for Teradici Cloud Access Software with NVIDIA Quadro vDWS helps artists achieve the consistent, high performance, high quality experience they need to be their most productive. With NVIDIA GRID® software, knowledge workers can achieve a seamless and consistent user experience, while IT can ensure that email and internet access is separated from sensitive files. And NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) software enables GPU- accelerated virtualization of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
The power and flexibility of NVIDIA’s virtual GPU software offers additional benefits from an IT management perspective. Because resources can be centralized in the data center or cloud and scaled as needed, it’s easier than ever to bid jobs more competitively, onboard employees, partners, and contractors, and protect valuable intellectual property. Now M&E firms can better align budgets and projects for a growing number of use cases.
WHAT IS GPU VIRTUALIZATION? GPU virtualization enables every virtual machine to get the benefits of a GPU just like a physical desktop has. Because work that was typically done by the CPU has been offloaded to the GPU, the user has a much better experience and more users can be supported.
