AI & Security · GPU and AI Workspaces

GPU and AI Workspaces,
Workstation Power From Any Device.

Give data scientists, ML engineers and CAD teams NVIDIA GPU-accelerated Citrix workspaces, with models and data kept inside your environment.

Talk to a GPU Workspace ArchitectCompare Options

What Is a GPU Workspace?

A GPU workspace is a Citrix virtual desktop or app backed by an NVIDIA GPU in the data centre or cloud. Users get workstation-class performance on any device, while data and models never leave your environment. Citrix and NVIDIA position AI virtual workstations as a way to build AI apps on GPUs you already own, while keeping proprietary data out of public AI models.

Altanora has delivered Citrix GPU environments since 2021, for engineering, CAD and graphics-heavy teams, on your infrastructure, in the public cloud or as a managed service.

GPU and AI Workspaces FAQ

What is NVIDIA vGPU?

NVIDIA virtual GPU software lets one physical GPU be shared by several virtual desktops, or dedicated to one user, with NVIDIA drivers inside each session.

Which hypervisors support GPU workspaces?

NVIDIA publishes vGPU support for Citrix XenServer and Nutanix AHV, among others. We design around the platform that fits your environment.

Can data scientists build AI models on GPU workspaces?

Yes. They can develop and test models on GPU workspaces with data kept in your environment. Production AI inference is a separate design we can help you plan.

Do we need to buy new GPUs?

Not always. Citrix and NVIDIA position AI virtual workstations as a way to use GPUs you already own. We assess what you have first.

Can GPU workspaces be hosted for us?

Yes. We can deliver them on your infrastructure, in the public cloud, or as a managed service. Talk to us about capacity and location.

How do I open a support ticket with Altanora?

Existing clients can open a ticket through the client portal, by emailing support@altanora.com, or by calling 514-849-1100 and choosing option 3. For general or sales questions, email sales@altanora.com.
