The Challenge
2017 – Worldwide ( NL – CZ – CN – MX- US )
Decentralized IT
No Single Source of Truth
No collaboration
The Approach
Started at release of NVIDIA GRID in 2013
8 Mechanical Engineers on 1 server
XenDesktop 7.1 / XenServer 6.2 SP1 ( BETA )
NVIDIA GRID Release 0.9 ( Preview )
Before NVIDIA GRID
Only 1:1 passthrough

The Approach
Fast
Flexible
Keeps you ahead in automated welding | www.awl.nl 19
The Approach
12 servers with K2 and M60
2 vGPU profiles
Profiles
8 users (GRID K2) or 16 users (M60) per server
Viewer (Mechanic) Medium performance
Office (XenApp) Normal performance
Microsoft Office / Navision etc.
20 users per VM
User Experience
Measure UX
User Experience
Most usable if combined with technical (objective) data
Latency / Bandwidth / NetFlow or sFlow

3D Graphics
Only use XenDesktop
HDX3DPro + NVEnc -> Lower CPU usage
