NVIDIA EGX Server for Professional Visualization

High-Performance Visual Computing in the Data Center

From rendering and virtualization to engineering analysis and data science, accelerate multiple workloads on any device with the NVIDIA® EGX server for professional visualization. A highly flexible reference design that combines high-end NVIDIA GPUs with NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software and high-performance networking, this NVIDIA-Certified System delivers exceptional graphics and compute power, enabling artists to do their best work—from anywhere—at a fraction of the cost, space, and power of CPU-based solutions.

The ray-tracing capabilities of NVIDIA RTX help artists push the boundaries of content creation. Arnold GPU is now available, and we’re excited to see how our users will take advantage of the unprecedented rendering speeds and amazing efficiency.

—  Chris Vienneau, Senior Director of Media and Entertainment Products, Autodesk

Cinesite was proud to be an early partner with NVIDIA on the RTX technology platform, but we never expected results this dramatic. We can iterate faster, more frequently, and with higher quality. This will completely change how our artists work.

— Michele Sciolette, CTO, Cinesite

NVIDIA Quadro vDWS made it so that 98–99% of our users could use the virtual environment just like a physical machine sitting in front of them. Users are actually reporting back that it performs exactly the same as a physical machine.

— Wesley Struble, CAD System Administrator, DENSO International America

One of the biggest challenges in virtual production is achieving physically accurate lighting in real time. RTX technology enables real-time ray tracing within our Genesis platform, making photorealism possible for the first time ever live on set.

— Francesco Giordana, Real-Time Software Architect, MPC Film

To give our artists more compute power, we can easily increase NVIDIA vGPU profile sizes and reduce the number of users we put on each server. We don’t need to replace any equipment.

Delivering the Most Powerful Virtual Workstations

Grounded in the NVIDIA EGX Platform, the NVIDIA-Certified System can be configured with NVIDIA vGPU software to create powerful virtual workstations. This enables professionals to do their work from anywhere, while increasing productivity, improving data center utilization, and reducing IT costs and maintenance. Provision multiple, easy-to-manage virtual workstations or a combination of virtual workstations and render nodes from a single NVIDIA EGX server with NVIDIA Quadro® Virtual Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS) software.

Rendering

Render final frames or boost local workstation rendering performance with the power of GPU acceleration. By utilizing EGX server with NVIDIA RTX technology-accelerated software, designers and artists can render jobs offline and produce final ray-traced images at a fraction of the time of traditional CPU-based render nodes. Even achieve fully interactive, photorealistic visualization in the application viewport by connecting to one or more EGX servers to boost desktop performance.

Engineering Simulation and Analysis

Set up, test, and iterate on complex simulations faster with EGX server, which delivers the massive compute power needed to drive simulation and generative design software tools. When coupled with Quadro vDWS software, EGX server enables engineers to design by day and compute by night—from anywhere. GPU-powered parallel processing accelerates 32-bit simulation codes, while NVIDIA Turing RT Cores and Tensor Cores help RTX technology-enabled applications render more physically accurate results—faster. Combining multiple NVIDIA GPUs with Quadro vDWS allows engineers to run simulations more quickly, smoothly and securely, processing higher-fidelity models in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment.

Data Science

Data science requires powerful computing capabilities to turn massive amounts of data into valuable insights. With NVIDIA GPUs and Quadro vDWS, data scientists can provision multiple high-performance data science workstations to bring GPU-acceleration to their entire workflow in a virtualized environment, from data prep and model training to visualization. NVIDIA CUDA-X AI and NGC containers feature a collection of software-accelerated libraries like RAPIDS and XGBoost to completely transform data science and AI workloads, allowing data scientists to make predictions faster than ever before.
