VDI & Remote Desktop Servers

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure shifts computing from individual PCs to centralized servers — giving IT teams control, security, and the ability to deliver a full desktop experience to any device, anywhere. ICD configures VDI-optimized servers with GPU acceleration, high-density memory, and NVMe storage.

VDI workloads combine characteristics of many desktops into one server. Each virtual desktop needs vCPUs, memory, storage IOPS, and increasingly its own GPU slice.

Memory per User

Each desktop reserves 4-8 GB RAM. 100 users = 400-800 GB per host.

GPU for Graphics

Even knowledge workers benefit from GPU acceleration for video conferencing and multi-monitor.

Storage IOPS for Boot Storms

200 users logging in at 8 AM = I/O tsunami. NVMe handles this; HDD does not.

ICD provides the full VDI hardware stack: GPU-ready servers, NVIDIA vGPU accelerators, high-capacity RDIMM kits, and NVMe drives — all compatibility-verified.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many virtual desktops per server?
A Dell R760 with 64 cores, 512 GB RAM, 2x A16 GPUs supports ~100-120 knowledge workers or 30-40 power users. RAM is usually the limiting factor.
Do I need GPU for VDI?
For basic task workers, CPU-only works. GPU dramatically improves video conferencing, multi-monitor, and PDF-heavy workflows. For CAD/design, GPU is mandatory.
NVIDIA A16 vs L40S for VDI?
A16 has 4 independent GPUs (16 GB each) for 64 knowledge workers per card. L40S is a single 48 GB GPU for power users (CAD, 3D rendering).
How to handle boot storms?
NVMe SSD in RAID 10 is the standard solution. Linked clones (Horizon) or MCS (Citrix) reduce per-desktop storage by sharing a base image.
