Though enterprise IT systems are on a direct
path to virtualization and the cloud, engineering systems like CAD and
PLM haven't hit a similar stride, given the lingering and very real
concerns about how rich, graphics-intensive 3D tools would perform in
this new environment.
Enter the GPU giant NVIDIA, which has a plan to bring workstation-level graphics capabilities
to any screen, even mobile ones. The new cloud-based NVIDIA VGX K2 GPU,
built on its previously announced Kepler architecture, fills in some of
the pieces needed to achieve the promise of NVIDIA's VGX platform
announced in May. That platform, deployed in the datacenter, helps IT
departments create a virtualized desktop with all the graphics and GPU
computing horsepower of traditional PCs or high-end workstations.
Employees then can access this desktop in the field or at home from the
connected device of their choice (yes, that means laptops, tablets,
smartphones, or thin clients).
