Dell announced today it is expanding its client virtualization
solutions with the introduction of the first virtualized 2U rack
workstation enabling up to four concurrent professional graphics
users to work from a single workstation from virtually anywhere.
The Dell Precision R5500 rack workstation is the first four-GPU
(graphics processing unit) configuration to be certified by Citrix
with GPU pass-through on Citrix XenServer® 6 using Citrix
XenDesktop® HDX™ 3D Pro, and brings additional security, IT
resource optimization and end user flexibility to high performance
workloads. This new usage model is designed for customers running
3D workloads in the engineering, medical, media and entertainment,
scientific, software development and economic and finance market
segments looking to support additional users on a single
workstation.
Additional benefits of a virtualized rack workstation include
the ability to centralize, secure and manage data, leverage
worldwide talent pool, share resources for improved cost
effectiveness and run performance critical applications that
require the host system and data to be in close proximity. Users
can connect to the powerful, dependable and manageable Dell
Precision R5500 via Dell and non-Dell computing devices including
thin clients, laptops, desktops or other mobile devices that have a
loaded Citrix Receiver™.
“The Dell Precision R5500 offers the highest user density
available on a XenServer certified platform for XenDesktop HDX 3D
Pro, with four concurrent users per host,” said Derek Thorslund,
director of product management, HDX technology at Citrix. “This
makes it a very attractive option for customers looking to deliver
high-end 3D professional graphics while keeping their intellectual
property safe in the data center.”
Citrix XenServer with HDX 3D Pro enables the virtualized
workstation environment with a dedicated discrete graphics card per
user or virtual machine. The dedicated graphics provides the user
with full access to the graphics card in a virtualized environment.
Users can configure their Dell Precision R5500 with up to four
NVIDIA Quadro® 2000 mid-range graphics cards, with other high-end
NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards available soon. Dell’s 2U rack
workstation offers industry standard bus slots with options of up
to five full-height and full-length PCIe slots, and industry
standard graphics and GPU compute cards including the newest NVIDIA
Quadro and NVIDIA Tesla® solutions.
“This new rack workstation configuration from Dell provides
designers and engineers with a unique virtualized desktop
performance option,” said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional
Solutions Group, NVIDIA. “Dell's R5500 powered by NVIDIA Quadro
GPUs gives these users an opportunity to experience the full power
of high-end OpenGL, Direct X and CUDA applications in a small
form-factor, virtualized desktop environment.”
In addition to high-end graphics support, the R5500 provides the
full scalability and powerful performance of Dell’s high-end tower
workstations in a 2U form factor. It is purpose-engineered for
professionals who run compute and graphics intensive workloads and
require extreme performance with remote capability. It offers
high-performance Intel Xeon processors with memory capacity of up
to 192GB¹ and dual-wide GPU slots that scale up to 450 watts, up to
six 2.5-inch SAS HDDs or five SATA HDDs.
“We are working closely with Citrix and NVIDIA to enable new
usage models to address the needs of our workstation customers,”
said Efrain Rovira, executive director of Dell Precision
workstations. “This industry first four-GPU XenServer certification
delivers increased productivity and flexibility to our customers,
and it adds to the list of innovations we’ve introduced to the
workstation industry.”
Availability
Citrix XenServer with GPU pass-through is available worldwide
through Citrix and Dell S&P. The starting price for the Dell
Precision R5500 is $2,742 USD.
Visit Dell at NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference in booth #17 and
#18 this week to see the Dell Precision R5500 workstation and learn
more about the new Citrix XenServer GPU pass-through
certification.
