Physical architecture overview

  • NVIDIA GPUs

    Dell Validated Designs for VDI can be configured using the following NVIDIA GPUs:

    • NVIDIA A40—NVIDIA A40 GPUs provide a leap in performance and multiworkload capabilities for the data center, combining superior professional graphics with powerful compute and AI acceleration to meet today’s design, creative, and scientific challenges. Driving the next generation of virtual workstations and server-based workloads, NVIDIA A40 brings features for ray-traced rendering, simulation, virtual production, and more.
    • NVIDIA A16—NVIDIA A16 GPUs combined with NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC) or NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstations (vWS) software enables remote desktops and workstations with the power and performance to tackle any project from anywhere. Purpose-built for high-density and graphics-rich VDI, and by using the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the NVIDIA A16 GPU provides double the user density compared to the previous generation, while ensuring the best possible user experience.
