Hi,
At work we've been kicking around the idea of a VDI solution for some of our users. It's an expensive prospect, and no one on our team really has much experience with it. I know NVIDIA"s got their GRID cards which support this in ESX, and that may end up being a solution we use, alongside ESX, for serving up such things.
But the digging I've done so far has largely focused on GRID, and I haven't seen much related to doing this on smaller scale hardware. I was thinking to pick up one of the less expensive Quadro cards, maybe the new K1200 or an older K2000, for my own personal edification, just to try it out. But I can't find a straight answer as to if this is something that can be done using, say, Virtualbox, or KVM, or even VMware workstation on linux, or if it's just limited to GRID support.
I guess the question is: has anyone done a setup with multiple Guest OSes, each with direct GPU access, on a Quadro? Or is this something that vmware/nvidia have limited to the GRID cards only? From what I can tell it looks like what I'm after is vDGA support, and it seems that on the Quadro cards this can only be done with one guest per video card? Or is that old information?
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
