NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC) vs. V2 Cloud

Nvidia GRID is the only real ready-made hardware solution available for streaming game services, 3D graphics acceleration in Virtual Desktop Infrastructures, and 3D enhanced streaming apps. Grid is also great for processing large quantities of small data-sets, such as financial, trading, science, astronomy, and much more. Grid is also well known for digital currency mining, such as Bitcoin.

We got a quote from a local IT company that was out of our budget. The local IT company even recommended a different setup because they said that a virtual server is too expensive for a start-up company. However, we knew we wanted to be on the cloud and have a virtual setup. We found out about V2 through another business owner who was happy with the service. The prices with V2 are very reasonable, it was easy to set up and add users, and it's been working well for us.

This is a well-refined product. I like that it was extremely easy to provision and set up. The price is very competitive and also does not have a bandwidth limit, which is really awesome. Once connected, it is like you are using any normal desktop computer.

• Provides a way of offering a substantial processing increase for computing/calculations over and above what additional CPUs could offers.
• Offers the only "ready-made" solution for on-demand gaming services, after Sony purchased OnLive, and provides an affordable method for startups to enter the Industry.
