VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) has been growing at an alarming rate and is expected to continue to grow as a whole over 25% the next five years. The VDI industry is made up major players like VMware, Citrix, Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Microsoft, NetApp and Red Hat all of whom have been working aggressively towards improving the performance and scalability of VDI. One of the most critical ways of doing this is introducing GPU acceleration into VDI for the tasks that require significant amounts of graphical compute power. Professional applications like AutoCAD, Siemens NX CAD and SolidWorks are driving the majority of GPU-accelerated VDI usage, and companies like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and NVIDIA are building products to satisfy the needs for GPU accelerated VDI. As the virtualization of graphical applications increases the demand for GPU virtualization will continue to increase and potentially at an even higher rate than the rest of the VDI industry.
