GPU Virtual Desktops
Workstation class performance, delivered to any device.
We engineer NVIDIA GPU accelerated virtual desktops for CAD, engineering and graphical workloads. Real GPU silicon per user, 60fps viewport performance, ISV certified across the apps your team actually runs.
The problem with CPU only VDI
Most VDI providers deliver CPU rendered images. We deliver real GPU silicon.
Generic DaaS providers route graphics through CPU rendering pipelines. It works fine for spreadsheets. For SolidWorks, Revit, or ANSYS it produces dropped frames, viewport stutter, and the kind of micro friction that destroys engineering productivity over a workday.
We allocate real NVIDIA RTX GPU resources per user. Your CAD team gets workstation class performance, just delivered from a data centre instead of a tower under their desk.
- CPU rendered viewport
- Shared GPU pools
- Sub 30fps on large assemblies
- Generic ISV support
- One size profile
- NVIDIA RTX GPU silicon per user
- Dedicated, not shared
- 60fps sustained on 500 part assemblies
- ISV certified applications
- Profile sized to each role
What predictable performance actually means
Three things have to be true at the same time.
Frame rate consistency
60fps viewport performance, sustained. Not a peak number, not a marketing average. What your CAD users see when they rotate a large assembly.
Large assembly performance
500+ part SolidWorks assemblies, multi million polygon Revit models, real time ANSYS visualisation. Tested on real customer files, not synthetic benchmarks.
Real GPU allocation
Dedicated NVIDIA RTX silicon per user. Not shared rendering pools. Your designers get predictable, isolated performance regardless of who else is on the system.
NVIDIA vGPU profiles
Right sized GPU for the role, not blanket licensing.
We profile each user against their actual application stack and hardware footprint, then size the vGPU accordingly. Two main families:
Designers, engineers, simulation specialists running production CAD/CAM workloads.
Analysts, knowledge workers, and roles that need modern multi monitor graphics without full CAD certification.
Industries we serve
If your team renders, simulates, or models. This is for you.
How we deliver
Four phases. No surprises.
Discovery & design
Workload assessment, GPU profile sizing, storage IOPS modelling, network and latency review. Output: a written architecture, not a sales quote.
Proof of concept
Stand up a small environment with your real users, real apps, real files. Measure frame rate, latency, and end user satisfaction before committing.
Implementation
Hardware, HCI, vGPU, Citrix delivery, security stack, thin clients. We build, you sign off at each gate.
Managed & supported
24/7 monitoring, patching, vGPU driver management, administration, helpdesk. Or operate it yourself with our backup.
Frequently asked
The questions engineering leads actually ask.
What CAD applications run on IT4SME GPU virtual desktops?+
All NVIDIA RTX vWS certified applications, including SolidWorks, Revit, AutoCAD, CATIA, Creo, ANSYS, Adobe Creative Cloud, 3ds Max, Maya, ArcGIS, Schlumberger Petrel, and other ISV certified visualisation tools.
What frame rate can I expect on a 500 part SolidWorks assembly?+
Our typical deployment sustains 60fps viewport performance on assemblies of 500 parts and beyond, with end to end latency under 20ms on production fibre. Performance is measured per user, not as a system wide average.
Can we host the environment on premises, in Azure, or hybrid?+
Yes. We deploy on customer owned Nutanix HCI, in Microsoft Azure, or hybrid configurations. The choice is driven by your data residency, latency, and operating model. Not by what we want to sell you.
How is this different from Workspot, Frame, or Azure Virtual Desktop?+
IT4SME has 15 years of engineering grade VDI experience and allocates dedicated NVIDIA RTX vWS GPU profiles per user. Generic DaaS providers typically share GPU resources across users and aren't ISV certified for CAD workloads at the same depth.
