    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.

    In situations where we didn't need to pass through local disks, we found Awingu to be a good fit. Especially the multiscreen options in an HTML5 browser are pretty unique to them. The extensive options to do MFA are also very user-friendly.

    Cons
    NVIDIA
    • The cost for Nvidia GRID capable hardware is still very high, but is & has been dropping fairly rapidly.
    • Latency is a large problem for "interaction" based systems (Gaming, remote desktop use) and requires high-speed data, and hosting close to the client.
    • No real solutions for smaller businesses, but cloud hosting providers like SoftLayer are beginning to offer affordable hosted grid-capable environments.

    Parallels
    • Being only/mainly an HTML5 solution some resources can't be passed through (file shares)
    • Publishing apps to local desktops would be nicer if there was a "add to desktop" shortcut.

    Awingu has more features in its HTML5 offering, which is the main advantage it has. Parallels RAS also has a local application which gives it some additional features (passing through drives)

    Return on Investment
    NVIDIA
    • Allows us to simplify all of our VDI designs, as power users can be managed like all other cloud users, instead of requiring individual systems.
    • 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.
