Description
Overview
The NVIDIA A16 is a quad-GPU board purpose-built for high-density, graphics-rich Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). With four Ampere-architecture GPUs on a single dual-slot card, A16 delivers up to 2x the user density of prior generations and enables a premium virtual desktop experience — including H.265 video playback, 3D productivity applications, and modern collaboration tools — for up to 64 concurrent users per board.
Combined with NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software, A16 empowers IT to deliver responsive virtual workspaces at scale while consolidating server footprint.
Key Features
- Quad-GPU Design: Four Ampere GPUs on a single board for maximum user density.
- 64 GB GDDR6 ECC: 16 GB of ECC memory dedicated per GPU.
- Enterprise vGPU Support: Works with NVIDIA Virtual PC, Virtual Applications, RTX Virtual Workstation, and Virtual Compute Server.
- 2x User Density: Supports up to 64 concurrent users per board with enhanced per-user experience.
- Passive Cooling: Server-optimized thermal design for dense deployments.
