Does your team spend endless hours on moving files, swapping parts, rendering projects, and troubleshooting issues in their PCs? Then vGPU is something made for you.
What is vGPU?
vGPU, or Virtual GPU, is a technology that divides a single physical GPU into multiple independent virtual GPUs. Each virtual GPU can be assigned to a separate virtual machine (or your system), providing dedicated graphics processing power to every individual user.
Meaning, that without even investing in a new GPU, you get the power of a dedicated GPU in your hands with better performance, optimised resource utilisation, and enhanced security.
But why should someone look for a vGPU?
If you had asked us this question 5 years ago, our answer would be a no – but due to the capabilities of Nvidia’s A40 which made it a better option when compared to multiple single GPU machines – our answer is YES (with the most promising voice). Here’s why:
- vGPU is a more cost-effective solution: Requiring fewer physical GPUs and less power consumption, vGPU is most cost-effective – saving operational costs for a very long time.
- Centralised management: Multiple systems means managing them all which takes time. vGP shortens this time for you as managing a single server with vGPUs is simpler than managing multiple individual machines.
- Scalability: vGPUs are scalable. You can easily add more virtual GPUs as your needs grow without expanding your physical infrastructure.
- Security: vGPUs or Virtual Machines centralise all your hardware in one location – enhancing security by allowing for better control over who can access data and from where someone can access that data.
Now that we know why someone should look for a vGPU, it’s time to focus on which GPU can help you do that (because not all GPUs support virtual slicing) – the Nvidia A40. Packed with immense processing power and ample memory of 48GB (GDDR6 with ECC), which means you can easily split this GPU to 4 individual users with 12GB RAM each – enough for most demanding workloads like designing, engineering, video editing, etc.
Building Your Own vGPU Server
So are you ready to build your own server? Be extra careful when selecting the components. A powerful Workstation CPU like Xeon or Threadripper, ample RAM which ranges from 64GB to 512GB, and high-speed storage. After that, you’ll need a safe & fast networking infrastructure that supports multiple users.
