VMware Partnering with Nvidia. This is great news for people willing to do some high demand 3D graphics work done by using a Virtual Machines. In fact, VMware has announced a strategic partnership with Nvidia. The partnership between NVIDIA and VMware will enable high quality Quadro 3D graphics being delivered to virtual desktops in VMware View 5 and application platforms based on the future AppBlast product, on which I reported in my article here.
Quadro Virtual Graphics Platform to VMware View will enable workstation-class virtual desktops for engineers, designers, digital artists and scientists.
A quick quote from the announce which can be found here.
“NVIDIA Quadro is the established market leader in professional 3D graphics because of our relentless passion for providing groundbreaking innovations to our customers that deliver the ultimate experience in terms of visual quality, reliability and performance,” said Jeff Brown, vice president and general manager, Professional Solutions Group, NVIDIA. “Together with VMWare, we're bringing that same Quadro commitment to virtualized desktops. Professionals who desire the highest quality virtualized graphics can look forward to getting this solution from us soon.”
Both companies will work together to implement this solution in the near future to do some tests before the end of the year. So hopefully we'll see the GA in Q1 2012. High quality Quadro 3D graphics – the article was published by ESX virtualization.
