quick response, thanks again<br />
<br />
bad news for me. <br />
so no hardware 3d rendering?<br />
<br />
even if it was not exclusive, it could be managed if i can at least get to it.<br />

The only area where I feel Server Virtualization has to improve is in the area of 3D and Video Acceleration.<br />

yeah, 3d and video is not realy supported yet.<br />
I heard rumors that citrix xenapp goes towards that very soon....

My question involves a VM<br />
<br />
I have a product needs exclusive access to a high end video card. Problem is that its going in to a data center that uses HyperV to create VMs. there is little room to commission a physical machine. My associates argue that the extra IO layer makes hardware rendering impossible on a VM, but im not a VM guy so i need some experts.<br />
<br />
If there is a high end video card installed on the physical machine, is there a way to give a VM exclusive and full access to the video card?<br />
<br />
If this is possible, what VM products can do this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

GPU access on a VM

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
