Abstract:
Learn the benefits that virtualization provides for an architecture and engineering design firm, along with the journey through the advancements in virtualization technology it took to finally meet the graphics-intensive needs of our design software. We'll share our experiences in how virtualization allows a large company, with over 15 offices and 1,000 people worldwide, to collaborate and work as a single firm. We'll show some cost comparisons with virtualization, along with their management benefits and requirements. We'll also look at the methods we used to set and test metrics specific to our requirements, and follow the results of those metrics through the changes in graphics virtualization technology.
