Nvidia A16 PCIe Gen4 Passive GPU Accelerator for graphics-rich VDI

NVIDIA A16, based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, sets a new standard for user experience in graphics-rich virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) by integrating with NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software. As remote work becomes a long-term strategy for many organizations, the A16 and NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC) or Virtual Applications (vApps) software empowers knowledge workers across various industries to achieve productivity levels comparable to a native PC. Compared to its predecessor, the M10, the NVIDIA A16 doubles user density, reducing hardware resource requirements and lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO). 

Additionally, when paired with NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) software, the A16 offers affordable entry-level virtual workstations suitable for computer-aided design (CAD) tasks. Its unique quad-GPU board design allows IT to support diverse user profiles, from light virtual PC workloads to users with higher memory and graphics needs. This design also enables mixed user types on a single board, simultaneously facilitating virtual PCs, virtual workstations, and virtualized computing.

Key Features:

• Purpose-Built for Graphics-Rich VDI: Optimized for NVIDIA vPC software, providing exceptional user density and performance.

• Cost-Effective Virtual Workstations: Delivers the lowest cost per virtual workstation user with NVIDIA RTX vWS software.

• Comprehensive vGPU Software Support: Compatible with all NVIDIA vGPU software editions: NVIDIA vPC, NVIDIA vApps, NVIDIA RTX vWS, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, and NVIDIA vCS.

• Advanced PCI Express Gen 4: Ensures faster data transfer speeds for data-intensive tasks.

• Current Codec Support: Includes H.265 encode/decode, VP9 and AV1 decode for superior performance of streaming media.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

Enhanced Streaming Media Performance: NVIDIA A16 boasts the highest number of video encoders and decoders, featuring four on-chip hardware encoders (NVENC) and eight decoders (NVDEC) per board. This setup maximizes video streams per board, offering top-tier encode, decode, and transcode performance at a competitive price.

Optimized for Accelerated VDI: With a focus on user density and optimized performance via NVIDIA vPC software, the A16 ensures that graphics-rich virtual PCs are accessible from anywhere, providing a seamless and responsive user experience that rivals native PCs or workstations.

Affordable Virtual Workstations: A16 combined with NVIDIA RTX vWS software, supports large framebuffers per user, making it ideal for entry-level virtual workstations running CAD and similar workloads.

Flexible User Support: The quad-GPU board design of the A16 allows for the provisioning of mixed user profile sizes and types, including virtual PCs and workstations on a single board.

Superior User Experience: A16 offers higher frame rates and lower latency compared to CPU-only VDI, ensuring applications are more responsive and providing a user experience indistinguishable from that of a native PC or workstation.

Increased User Density:  Designed for graphics-rich VDI, the A16 supports up to 64 concurrent users per board in a dual-slot form factor, doubling the user density of the previous generation M10.

High-Resolution Display Support: Supports multiple high-resolution monitors, enhancing productivity and delivering photorealistic quality in a VDI environment.

Enhanced Encoder Throughput: With more than twice the encoder throughput of the M10, the A16 excels in high-performance transcoding and supports multi-stream video and multimedia applications.

Highest Quality Video: Support for the latest codecs, including H.265 encode/decode, VP9 and AV1 decode, ensures the highest quality video experiences.

Featuring NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based CUDA cores, second-generation RT-Cores, and third-generation Tensor-Cores. the A16 provides the flexibility to host virtual workstations with NVIDIA RTX vWS software or leverage unused VDI resources for computing workloads with the help of NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. Support for PCI Express Gen 4 ensures efficient data transfer speeds from CPU memory, optimizing performance for data-intensive tasks.
