The Need For Graphics Virtualization In Modern End-User Computing Environments

As more enterprises undergo digital transformation to the 3rd Platform of computing – comprising cloud, mobility, big data/analytics, and social business – the manner in which desktop operating systems (OSs) and applications must be deployed and accessed is rapidly changing.

With more lines of business (LOBs) making their own technology decisions, IT must remake itself into a more business-oriented organization and deliver services faster than ever.

This Technology Spotlight describes digital transformation and how it affects the delivery of desktop OSs and applications. The paper examines the rapid growth of the Windows 10 market, the increasing role of user experience in digital transformation, and the increasing virtualizing of graphics-intensive applications delivered through the cloud. It also looks at the role of NVIDIA's GRID technologies in delivering graphics acceleration to these modern workloads.
