For graphics-intensive desktop deployments, we recommend the VDI-optimized 2U servers that support GPU hardware.
We have designated common configurations as Management-optimized, Density-optimized, and Virtual Workstation. These designations are referenced throughout this document and are outlined in the following table.
Configuration | CPU | RAM | Disk | GPU | Description |
Management-optimized | 2 x Intel Xeon Silver 4214 (12 core @ 2.2 GHz) | 192 GB (12 x 16 GB @ 2400 MHz) | 4 TB + (Capacity) | None | Offers a scalable and value targeted configuration that meets the required compute and I/O demands |
Density-optimized | 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6248 (20 core 2.5 GHz) | 768 GB (12 x 64 GB @ 2933 MHz) | 8 TB + (Capacity) | Up to 3 x full length, dual width (FLDW) (for example, the RTX 8000) Up to 6 x full length, single width (FLSW) | Offers an abundance of high-performance features and components selected to maximize user density |
Virtual Workstation | 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6254 (18 core @ 3.1 GHz) | 384 GB (12 x 32 GB @ 2933 MHz) | 6 TB + (Capacity) | Up to 3 x FLDW Up to 6 x FLSW | Offers even higher performance at the tradeoff of user density. Typically for ISV or high-end graphics workloads. |
