Challenge: Improve virtual desktop performance: BVN is an award-winning architectural firm with a global reputation for design leadership and innovation. The firm's portfolio includes civic and institutional projects, office and residential design, tourism projects, industrial developments, master planning, and urban design.
BVN architects use powerful design software, 3D rendering tools, and even virtual reality to envision, engineer, and showcase client projects. These graphics-intensive technologies require a massive amount of computing power with equally capable memory and storage. And because BVN projects often involve multiple teams and workflows, it is vitally important that project resources are easily accessed and shared.
Solution: Accelerate performance while simplifying IT operations: BVN’s users needed better application performance, accessibility, and availability. And its IT staff wanted to simplify systems management and scaling. After considering on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure solutions, the firm selected Cisco HyperFlex with NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) as the engine for its Citrix VDI. Learn how BVN simplified IT operations and accelerated graphics and compute intensive applications in this webcast and panel discussion.
