GEFORCE GRID and NVIDIA VGX
A new breakthrough in virtualization, with the prospect of private clouds, was announced by NVIDIA by showing new hardware and software solutions at the conference . Admins of private companies and local providers will now have something to do :)
The first technology GEFORCE GRID reminds OnLive , but is implemented in hardware on such a piece of hardware (you can stick 4 pieces into the server). Due to the energy efficiency and performance of the GPU, cloud game providers will be able to build a business with a subscription fee of $ 10 per month per player.
I think this service will provide local providers, which in the end looks very promising. It will be more convenient and more profitable than the upgrade of old iron. And of course Linux users will have full pants of joy :)

The second technology NVIDIA VGX is similar to VDI . With adequate prices for software and hardware, it will affect both large companies and a huge number of medium and small enterprises. In fact, it turns out TRUE virtualization with GPU support ( VDI vs VGX ).
What does this mean in practice? Everything is quite simple - the administrator of your office buys just such a piece of iron and a bucket of Raspberry Pi or such a Chinese miracle, which are distributed to employees.
Employees get from home, from work and any other place with a good channel to the Internet, access to a full-fledged OS (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.) and their data on the company's remote server, with support for OpenGL, DirectX, yes you can at least Movies to watch or 3D Max start up! At the same time, the requirements for the client’s hardware are very low, the power of a regular smartphone on Android is enough. These are the wonders :)
PS Outlined briefly, if someone wants to understand the situation in more detail and publish on Habré, then I would be interested to read :)
