Posted: 08 May 2015 10:07 AM PDT

Graphics acceleration is a hot topic at this year's Citrix Synergy conference for virtualization, mobility, networking and cloud solutions, May 12-14 in Orlando, Florida.

That's because customers like Bell Helicopter, City of Waukesha, Drake University, and PSA Peugeot are sharing stories of improved mobility, scalability and employee productivity due to NVIDIA GRID graphics acceleration for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

Virtualization experts like Rachel Berry @rhbBSE, Thomas Poppelgaard @POPPELGAARD and Dane Young @youngtech will all highlight VDI with NVIDIA GRID in their talks.

Among them, you can take a "Deep Dive on HDX 3D Pro." Uncover "The Anatomy of a High-Performance, GPU-enabled Virtual Desktop." Or learn "How to be Successful with GPU Virtualization 2.0."

Partners including Cisco, Dell, HP and NetApp will also be talking about GRID.

Stop by Cisco's booth to learn about Cisco Unified Computing System with NVIDIA GRID and Tesla.

Visit Dell for a discussion of dedicated GPU, vGPU and reference architecture.

Hear from HP on how to enable the most productive workplace for your users accelerated graphics for VDI.

Or learn from NetApp about remote visualization with FlexPod for Citrix and NVIDIA GRID.

Finally, Citrix, Dell and NVIDIA will show – live – how easy it is to set up VDI with NVIDIA GRID with the "#60in60 Challenge." Four small teams – from Dell, NVIDIA and two groups of Citrix Technology Professionals led by Dane Young and Thomas Poppelgaard – will set up 60 Citrix XenDesktop with NVIDIA GRID vGPU virtual desktops.

Each team will get just 60 minutes. Watch them battle it out in the Solutions Expo Hall May 12 at 7pm, May 13 at 1pm and May 14 at 3pm.

So if you're attending Citrix Synergy, stop by NVIDIA booth #305 to see live demonstrations of NVIDIA GRID in action. And tweet us to win an NVIDIA SHIELD. Just mention @NVIDIAGRID and use #citrixsynergy in your tweet.
