This is a limited access program for organizations worldwide that meet certain requirements, including being a current VMware Horizon and NVIDIA GRID customer. Additional requirements and more information are available on the early access program website.

Earlier this year at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference, NVIDA and VMware announced their intention to collaborate to bring NVIDIA GRID vGPU to VMware products. A technology preview of GRID vGPU combined with VMware solutions was showcased at the VMworld conference in San Francisco.

"Through this technology preview, we are looking to learn from organizations on how we can continue to provide them greater value through best-in-class solutions. Participants in the early access program are in the unique position of being part of the solution development process, giving them a competitive and first-mover advantage," said Erik Frieberg, vice president, Product Marketing, End-User Computing, VMware. "This joint offering promises to provide customers and service providers with high performance for complex and graphics-intensive applications."

"Global manufacturing, design and engineering businesses are putting vGPU on VMware Horizon to the test, running the most sophisticated applications and complex models virtually without compromising the graphics experience," said Jeff Brown, vice president and general manager of Professional Visualization and Design at NVIDIA. "The initial response has been tremendous, and we will continue to work with VMware to help enterprises improve employee productivity and streamline the management of their hardware resources."
