With the HDX 3D Pro feature for XenDesktop, virtualization specialist Citrix provides the necessary high-performance protocol for smooth transmission. To ensure seamless interaction and the best user experience the desktop devices must meet a range of requirements which Citrix has defined in its HDX Premium verification. IGEL’s UD5 and UD6 are now among these devices. With their sophisticated hardware framework, they offer an excellent basis on which to provide even the most demanding graphics, 3D or multimedia applications. While the IGEL UD5 with dual core processor is ideal for 2D workstations with high multimedia requirements, the IGEL UD6 with quad core CPU and 2 GB RAM is the right choice for professional 3D applications.

The combination of certified hardware and an appropriate server infrastructure opens up entirely new possibilities for the use of private cloud-based IT models, particularly in the engineering sector. Thanks to Citrix HDX 3D Pro in conjunction with IGEL’s Unified Management, companies using CAD can also now take full advantage of the benefits of central data storage, a standardized backup strategy, security or teamwork through the online availability of all data. The HDX Engine constantly analyzes the combined use of resources such as the computing power of the virtualized server graphics processor, the applications and end devices as well as the bandwidth. On this basis, HDX automatically adjusts the quality of the transmitted graphics data or flash services in order that users do not experience any drop in performance. Thanks to HDX 3D Pro, IT managers can achieve optimum scaling and, depending on the vGPU profile, can allow up to eight users per graphics processor to work simultaneously.
