Most large organizations use virtualization in at least some capacity, and over 50% of companies over 250 employees have deployed a full-scale VDI solution. The vast majority of these large-scale implementations are built on the full-stack legacy VDI model offered by the likes of VMware and …

As millennials hit their early parenting years, and Gen Z enters the workforce, corporate policies that promote work/life balance are a must-have for attracting and retaining top talent. In fact, in a recent survey, 73% of organizations now offer some type of work-from-home policy, so if …

Let’s say you’ve decided to venture down the path of VDI. Great! We fully support that decision! Now where do you begin? The answer to that question – as is typical for so many questions – is…it depends. What type of users are you trying to …

This blog post is a bit of a confession. Last week, I attended Red Hat Summit to watch one of Leostream’s customers talk about how they leverage NVIDIA GPUs in virtualized deployments with Red Hat’s infrastructure portfolio. (The session wasn’t recorded, but you can download the …

Earlier this month, NVIDIA announced that Google will be the first cloud provider to offer NVIDIA t4 GPUs and RTX technology for virtual workstations. This is the latest in a string of recent upgrades to GCP as Google posies itself for battle in the enterprise cloud …
