Last week I joined a multi-organizational webinar very interesting to CIMdata, IBM, NVIDIA and Citrix.
Update: NVIDIA released the recorded webinar: CIMdata Presentation: Secure distributed visualization for high performance 3D data users; I would still recommend reading the white paper whol it was based on so - fascinating
There was a lot of good reviews and comments on Citrix-NVIDIA vGPU and GPU applied pass-through technology to CAD. CAD is pretty and illustrates technologies. PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and PDM can often get overlooked because many brilliant simulation of a car does not look very well.
I spent nearly a decade working for Siemens PLM and learned to never overlook the importance of PLM hidden Workhorse nor underestimate their value. When we first previewed the technology vGPU, credible CAD industry analysts as Evan Yares started highlighting how technology could help as vGPU PLM specifically.
So what attracted my attention on that particular webinar? The caliber of the speakers and the fact that it was driven by data analysts CIMdata PLM. CIMdata has been researching PLM virtualization long time now and the data was presented by Stan Przybylinski who spent many years working for ENOVIA from Dassault; when it comes to PLM you do not get much bigger or experienced
The webinar centered around a free white paper available from CIMdata "3D Graphics Practically high performance delivered: collaboration with secure data 3D on all devices "..
what I liked was that it was not about the presentation of a virtualization technology, but based around real research into where, how and what PLM users were doing and wanted to do. In fact, many designers still be in the research departments and design, but it is the PLM users who have the most to gain from technologies such as vGPU. It is on the factory floor or at the customer site, where remote access to PLM data and supply chain is needed.
The report by CIMdata watched the changing configuration of remote access devices among PLM users. They also considered how PLM systems involve a large number of third party applications and third-party suppliers and the need to work while protecting your own data in a secure data center, which is that virtualization technologies such as XenServer are everything.
The CIMdata is fascinating reading watching how PLM workers against work-geographies, distribution of use of the device, cost reduction virtualization report offers when upgrading hardware and software, as well as the how virtualization can provide disaster recovery and data protection. I found their investigations on the evolution of outsourcing modes and a particularly insightful data access.
vGPU makes PLM access to a viable mobile device in terms of usability, but also profitable. With technology vGPU initially scaled to 64 users per card, we see that in reality, because most PLM users need GPU activation and access to a part of the day and may be offset time zones, it is possible for PLM applications across a very large number of users with relatively little equipment investment.
also join the panel was Jonathan Goldstine IBM, with decades of experience in mainframe virtualization Jonathan and his team worked in large scale virtualization before Citrix was founded. IBM was responsible for a large number of PLM deployments more complex and huge world with experts and solutions with an experience of the challenges and rigor of high levels of scale 1 automotive and aerospace I am very excited about the partnerships being built around the NVIDIA vGPU XenServer and technology. IBM invest in the IBM iDataPlex dx360 M4 and IBM Flex System as certified platforms to NVIDIA technology.
vGPU has much to offer large PLM brands such as Siemens PLM Teamcenter, PLM offering from SAP and ENOVIA from Dassault. With more sophisticated PLM with products and components involving more research and light assembly as Geolus and ShapeSpace.
partsThe products of the related supply chain are providing applications with the absorption of virtualization, cloud computing and the use of the GPU I will be watching with interest products and services such as padlocks and GrabCAD. As are the hardware information services available PLM products such as MI Granta Design and key materials available on the HyperWorks platform
I wrote a touching blog why vGPU works with other Citrix technologies for delivering CAD / CAE and PLM solutions there a few weeks ago. Really if it is a technology that you should try for yourself so if please do visit our overview page vGPU technology. You will just need a valid MyCitrix connection
