Customers can choose from our industry-leading FlashStack or FlexPod converged infrastructure joint offerings with Pure Storage or NetApp respectively, or from our innovative hyperconverged platform: the Cisco HyperFlex system.Īll of our solution platform offerings incorporate NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) software, which enables each virtual workstation to access one or more full GPUs as native PCI devices. Cisco supports both foundations, giving customers several choices. Two server and storage architectures can be used to support virtual workstations: converged infrastructure and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). The foundation on which a virtual graphic workstation is built consists of the server and storage system that support it.

Cisco recommends that organizations run a proof-of-concept study using their SOLIDWORKS implementation to better define each of their user types. To support SOLIDWORKS in a virtual environment, different user types in an organization need to be classified based on their roles.Įach user type’s virtual workstation requirements will vary. This document discusses the organizational benefits of virtualization and provides initial guidance for sizing SOLIDWORKS deployments.ĭassault SOLIDWORKS delivers a powerful suite of tools that provides a completely integrated design to manufacturing solutions.

Recent advances in the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) and Cisco HyperFlex™ virtualization platforms and important developments in NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) and software make it possible to virtualize professional graphic workstations running SOLIDWORKS. In many organizations, Dassault Systémes SOLIDWORKS practitioners use physical workstation computers that are expensive to purchase and maintain.
