GPU technology has been widely used in physical desktops, to reduce the load on the CPU and to provide a better experience for users - for application rendering, video playback, other graphics-intensive workloads. Virtual GPU technology now allows virtual machines to use GPU resources configured on the physical servers. Not only does this ensure that VMs can use GPU instead of CPU resources, it also provides users with a better experience and more users can be supported because of the reduced CPU consumption.
NVIDIA has led the way in virtualized GPU processing with integrated hardware and software solutions that offer organizations many options for graphics processing deployment and smart management of GPU resource allocation.
eG Enterprise is something we can't live without. We have been able to use eG Enterprise to quantify performance improvements in areas that we were struggling with before, and with a few changes we were able to quickly see that we had a 50% improvement in Citrix user login times.
GPU technology improves the performance of virtual desktops and applications, but to reap the full benefits of an immersive user experience at scale, organizations need a complete lifecycle of managing the user experience - from designing infrastructure, to managing and optimizing a production environment, to responding to user issues dynamically, in real-time.
eG Innovations in partnership with NVIDIA delivers comprehensive monitoring capabilities that enable IT to better manage all aspects of the user experience, tapping into new GPU-sourced insights that aid in design, right-sizing, proactive infrastructure optimization and help desk issue remediation. This new joint solution integrates eG Enterprise with NVIDIA GRID software to provide actionable insights through host-level, guest-level, and application-level analytics. eG Enterprise supports GPU monitoring for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and for VMware Horizon VDI and RDSH environments.

eG Enterprise supports GPU monitoring for NVIDIA Grids installed on VMware vSphere, Nutanix Acropolis and Citrix Hypervisor. GPU monitoring for Citrix virtual apps and desktops and VMware Horizon is supported.
Measuring CPU utilization alone is not enough for graphic-intensive application workloads. Administrators need track different aspects of vGPU performance:
