Deliver graphics-intensive 3D applications centrally

Citrix is leading the way in the virtual delivery of 3D professional graphics applications and workstations. Our offerings include the first virtualization solution to support hardware-based GPU sharing of OpenGL and DirectX apps for achieving smooth graphics performance and breakthrough deep compression technologies for maximizing traffic throughput over low-bandwidth networks.

XenDesktop and XenApp with HDX 3D technologies

XenDesktop with HDX 3D Pro is a desktop and app virtualization solution that supports high-end designers and engineers of 3D professional graphics applications. XenApp with HDX 3D provides cost-effective support to 3D data viewers and editors. With XenDesktop and XenApp, you can deliver a persistent user experience and leverage other virtualization benefits such as single-image management and improved data security.

Use HDX 3D technologies with:

• Computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) applications
• Geographical information system (GIS) software
• Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) workstations for medical imaging
• Latest OpenGL, DirectX, CUDA and CL versions supported
• Latest NVIDIA Grid cards

XenApp with OpenGL GPU Sharing Add-on feature

Cost-effective solution for power user 3D viewers and editors

• Provision many users to share a GPU to cost effectively support users that view and edit 3D data and can adequately be supported by sharing GPU resources (up to 4 GPUs per host)
• Exceptional better than local user performance on a LAN
• Very interactive user experience  over low bandwidth networks with ~3 Mbps
• Any device access including tablets and Macs with Citrix Receiver*

XenDesktop with HDX 3D Pro

Best performing solution for designers and engineers

• Provision a GPU per user or VM with Citrix XenServer GPU pass-through or VMware vSphere 5.1 with vDGA for designers and engineers that require a dedicated graphics card (up to 4 GPUs per host)
• Exceptional WAN performance with deep compression codec delivers interactive user experience with as little as 1.5 Mbps
• Very smooth video and graphics performance with NVidia API integration
• Any device access including tablets and Macs with Citrix Receiver*
• GPU sharing for XenDesktop VDI workloads is currently under joint development with NVidia (VGX technology) and will be available on XenServer in the future

* Best performance available when using Windows or Linux Receivers
