How many virtual desktops are supported with vDGA?
Unlike vSGA, which is limited by the amount of memory on the GPU card, vDGA is limited purely by the number of GPUs or GRID cards you can physically fit into the host server. This is dependent on your server vendor and what they support.
Server vendors offer NVIDIA GRID-enabled servers that are prebuilt, and therefore this technology is only available from the OEM channel. The primary reason is that servers require additional power and cooling components to drive the GRID cards.
For example, an NVIDIA GRID K2 GPU card has two GPUs on board, which would mean that you can allocate four virtual desktop machines to this card. Depending on your server hardware platform, you could install more than one card, thereby increasing the number of users that have access to a hardware-enabled GPU in their virtual desktop.
