NVIDIA SLI Multi-OS

 
 

NVIDIA® SLI® Multi-OS technology enables a designer, artist, or engineer, to simultaneously run multiple, business-critical, graphics-intensive applications, from a fully virtualized system, eliminating the need for a multiple system work environment.

An SLI Multi-OS workstation, with dual Quadro GPUs and virtualization software, lets a user assign a dedicated Quadro GPU to both the host operating system and a range of optionally loaded guest operating systems, thus creating a fully virtualized workstation*. Using an SLI Multi-OS workstation, professionals can achieve improved productivity and resource management for faster results. In addition, IT managers increase the use of a single system’s resources, reducing IT deployments for overall lower cost of ownership.
