Abstract:
DigitalGlobe is in the multi-year process of a company-wide effort to further enable its workforce and its customers to access the world's largest archive of satellite imagery quickly and easily from almost anywhere in the world. We're now several hundred active users into an initiative that has positioned DigitalGlobe's Linux virtual desktop environment as a core requirement for onboarding development teams, rather than just a complement to their Windows VDI sessions. We've gone all-in with Dell and NVIDIA to provide all Linux VDI users with a vGPU-backed desktop to better serve the needs of a rapidly widening array of skillsets and workloads across the enterprise. We'll describe our challenges, our frustrations, our somewhat unexpected popularity and growth, and what has become our continued success.
