VMware has released Horizon 6 and vSphere 6 with the NVIDIA GRID vGPU (graphics processing unit). This technology, the company states, enhances desktop virtualization with immersive graphics, greater security and scalable performance.

With graphics virtualization, users can run graphics-rich applications with certified application drivers. Additionally, IT departments can support up to 96 users on a single industry-standard server. Support is added for users to run graphics-rich Windows 2D, 3D and graphics applications on almost any device.

Added capabilities in vSphere 6 include broad application support, long-distance live migration for workloads, virtual machine awareness for third-party storage and file cloning.

“The mobile cloud is transforming traditional enterprise desktops and applications, and our collaboration with NVIDIA extends the transformation to high-end workstations and applications so organizations can benefit from the mobile cloud era,” said Erik Frieberg, vice president of marketing for End-User Computing at VMware. “Specialized industries such as design agencies, automotive companies and architecture firms will be able to embrace business mobility to help retain talent, control costs and compete in the 21st century.”
