NVIDIA GRID Cloud Gaming Review
NVIDIA GRID Cloud Gaming Review
THE POWER OF CLOUD GAMING
Its only natural that gaming—the fastest growing media segment and a $68 billion
industry—would follow this trend. NVIDIA is building on a unique legacy in gaming graphics and graphic performance to lead the way in defining the cloud-gaming experience.
FREEDOM FROM THE CONSOLE
NVIDIA GRID is the foundation for the ideal on-demand gaming service, providing tremendous advantages over traditional console gaming systems.
- Any-device gaming: High-quality, low-latency, multi device gaming on any PC, Mac, tablet, smart phone, and TV.
- Click-to-play simplicity: Anytime access to a library of gaming titles and saved games in the cloud. Play or continue games from any device, anywhere.
- Less hassle: No new hardware. No complicated setup. No game discs. No digital downloads. No game installations. No game patches.
BUILDING CLOUD GAMING SERVERS
NVIDIA is the leader in gaming graphics and performance, delivering the industry’s most trusted technology for the smoothest, most realistic gaming experience. For many years, NVIDIA has also worked with leading supercomputer centers to build the fastest computers in the world, including the world record-holding Titan supercomputer.NVIDIA GRID leverages some of this same technology to render and stream games from the cloud, with thousands of engineers dedicated to creating the ultimate system for service operators. Think of it as a gaming supercomputer in the cloud, built by NVIDIA.
BETTER CLOUD GAMING TECHNOLOGY
- More concurrent users: Enable up to 36 HD-quality game streams from a single server using NVIDIA’s new GPU virtualization technology.
- Power efficiency: With the ability to serve up to 36 concurrent users, operators can expect a dramatic reduction in the cost and amount of power consumed per game stream.
- NVIDIA VGX HyperVisor: The VGX Hypervisor manages GPU resources to allow multiple users to share GPU hardware while improving user density and creating a true PC gaming experience in the cloud.
- Lower latency: NVIDIA has focused on reducing game server latency, achieving an amazing 30 ms reduction with the NVIDIA GRID platform. The end result is a cloud gaming experience that feels like playing on a local console.
High Density Multi-stream Cloud Architecture
Multiple GPUs per Server and Multiple Users per GPU with NVIDIA VGX Hypervisor Technology delivers high densities of Game Streams per NVIDIA GRID Server
BETTER GAME CONTENT
NVIDIA’s dedication to game developers is unmatched in the industry and provides the foundation for bringing amazing PC gaming to the cloud.- More games: NVIDIA’s dedicated developer team has worked side by side for over a decade with hundreds of developers to ensure that the best titles are ready for NVIDIA GRID.
- More technology: NVIDIA technologies give game developers the tools needed to develop the cutting-edge effects in the hottest AAA titles.
- More performance: By lending engineering and hardware support to game developers, NVIDIA assures that games perform best on NVIDIA hardware.

Lenovo Extends Cloud Computing Platform with Virtual Computer Desktop Virtualization
“We chose Virtual Computer’s NxTop® virtualization platform as a key part of our focus on building a robust portfolio of virtualization and cloud computing solutions,” said Peter Schrady, vice president and general manager, Software & Peripherals Business Unit, Lenovo. “With NxTop, we’re combining our rock-solid, reliable PC hardware with multi-functional virtualization support to give business customers an affordable and easy-to-use computing solution.”
Lenovo and Virtual Computer previously collaborated to bring new NxTop® 4.0 capabilities to market. These capabilities include a flexible deployment option that leverages a centralized storage array to keep data off the endpoint device, while maintaining the advantages of local client execution. In addition, NxTop® 4.0 is optimized on select Think-branded PCs to deliver unique Lenovo capabilities, native PC performance, seamless user experience and zero-touch PC deployment through Lenovo’s custom factory installation.
“Client-Hosted VDI has become a mainstream solution, and hundreds of companies are already experiencing the unparalleled benefits of NxTop® installed on their Lenovo Think-branded PCs. This next stage of our relationship clearly demonstrates our collaboration and commitment to deliver a differentiated intelligent desktop virtualization solution. Customers can now get the powerful combination of local execution and centralized management directly from Lenovo or a Lenovo business partner,” said Dan McCall, CEO, Virtual Computer.
The global distribution agreement and the release of Virtual Computer NxTop® 4.0 advance the end-users’ ability to run multiple operating systems or personalities, including corporate and personal virtual machines, as well as enabling organizations to achieve greater manageability and cost savings than they can with server-hosted VDI.
NxTop® 4.0 will be demonstrated in Virtual Computers’ booth #1164 this week at VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas.
