Supermicro VDI Solutions with NVIDIA Virtual GPU (vGPU) Software

Enable your remote workforce using Supermicro’s VDI solutions with NVIDIA vGPU software.

VDI has become increasingly popular with the broadened availability of mobile broadband, higher bandwidth,
more compute power in modern mobile devices, higher display resolutions and a trend of BYOD within enterprises.
Supermicro VDI solutions provide the best user experience for remote workers by leveraging NVIDIA GPUs
running NVIDIA vGPU software.

Supermicro has developed a line of fully validated server solutions featuring high performance NVIDIA GPUs,
along with NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software, to address the rapidly growing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
market. Our VDI solutions offer best-in-class remote user experience for remote desktop and/or workstation
needs by allowing workers to do their job securely from anywhere while having access to the same capabilities
as if they were working from the office. Because of the increasing demand for a flexible and remote workforce,
many people are finding the need for a better, faster, and greener VDI infrastructure as a major part of its
remote work strategy. Supermicro is here to support the growth and scale of your virtualization infrastructure.
