Virtual GPU Software Products for Every Enterprise Workload

NVIDIA GRID®
Client Computing

NVIDIA GRID® Virtual PC (GRID vPC) and NVIDIA GRID® Virtual Apps (GRID vApps) are virtualization solutions that deliver a user experience that’s nearly indistinguishable from a native PC. With server-side graphics and comprehensive management and monitoring capabilities, GRID future-proofs your VDI environment.

NVIDIA® Quadro® vDWS
Client Computing

From stunning industrial design to advanced special effects to complex scientific visualization, Quadro is the world’s preeminent visual computing platform. And with NVIDIA® Quadro® Virtual Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS) software, you can now deliver the most powerful virtual workstation from the data center or cloud to any device, anywhere.

NVIDIA vComputeServer
Server Workloads

NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vComputeServer) enables data centers to accelerate server virtualization with the latest NVIDIA data center GPUs, including NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU, so that the most compute-intensive workloads, such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, and data science, can be run in a virtual machine (VM).

vGPU Software Licensing

NVIDIA GRID vApps, NVIDIA GRID vPC, and Quadro vDWS are available on a per Concurrent User (CCU) model. A CCU license is required for every user who is accessing or using the software at any given time, whether an active connection to the virtualized desktop or session is maintained.
NVIDIA vComputeServer is available on a per GPU model. A GPU license is required for every GPU that will host vComputeServer-enabled VMs. A single vComputeServer license enables a maximum of 8 concurrent VMs.

NVIDIA vGPU software products can be purchased by enterprises as either perpetual licenses with annual Support Updates and Maintenance Subscription (SUMS), or as an annual subscription. All NVIDIA vGPU software products with perpetual licenses must be purchased in conjunction with a four-year or five-year SUMS. A one-year SUMS is available only for renewals. For annual licenses, SUMS is bundled into the annual license cost.

NVIDIA Education Pricing Program

The NVIDIA Education Pricing Program supports the use of visual computing in teaching and research institutions. The program makes it easy to procure and administer NVIDIA solutions, software licensing, and services for qualified educational institutions and helps reduce their total cost. For more information on eligibility, review the NVIDIA Education Pricing Program terms and conditions below.

The Annual Subscription Model is available for Quadro vDWS and NVIDIA vComputeServer. The Perpetual Licensing Model is available only for Quadro vDWS. Users that opt for the Perpetual Licensing Model are required to subscribe to SUMS for four or five years. The SUMS subscription can be renewed on a yearly basis after the expiration of the initial subscription
