AMD FireProTM S-Seriesfor VirtualizationPure Virtualized Graphics

World's First Hardware-Virtualized GPU Solution for Dell Blade ServersThe Amulet Hotkey DXG-S7100X enterprise graphics virtualization card brings high-end graphics and AMD Multiuser GPU (MxGPU) technology to Dell PowerEdge M630 blade servers for the first time.

Solution Brief: Amulet Hotkey DXG-S7100X and Dell M series Blade Servers

Reasons to Consider Dell Blade Servers• Easy scalability supports environments from IT as a service

(XaaS) and private clouds to remote and branch offices.

• Flexibility to optimize in-server storage and IO performance.

• Simplified blade embedded resource management and Active System Manager accelerate IT service delivery using fast, template-based workload deployment.1

Reasons for the Amulet Hotkey DXG-S7100X Enterprise Graphics Virtualization Solution• Only solution that integrates AMD FirePro S7100X MxGPU

technology into the Dell 13G PowerEdge M630 blade server.

• Highest density virtual workstation solution, thanks to optimally matching CPU cores to the GPU multiuser capacity necessary for virtual workstation, high-end research and development, and high-performance computing (HPC).

• History of delivering remote and virtual workstations into mission- and business-critical environments.

Reasons for AMD MxGPU Technology• Consistent and predictable desktop experience:

The DXG-S7100X brings superb graphics experiences to virtual workstations hosted on a Dell blade server.

• Versatile: The DXG-S7100X supports multiple technologies and can be used to bring a range of graphics virtualization and GPU compute acceleration technologies to your organization.

• Scalable: A single DXG-S7100X supports up to 16 users, depending on the GPU performance required and the technology being implemented.

• Cost-effective: Multiple virtual desktops can share the physical GPU on a single DXG-S7100X card with no per-user GPU licensing fees, allowing IT to deliver GPU performance to more users.

• Multiple user types: The versatile DXG-S7100X addresses the spectrum of GPUacceleration needs for knowledge workers, power users, and designers/engineers.

AMD Multiuser GPU (MxGPU) technology delivers hardware-virtualized graphics acceleration in VMware environments. MxGPU can help lower TCO and enhance scalability by sharing the GPU on a single Amulet Hotkey DXG-S7100X card across multiple virtual desktops. The AMD FirePro S7100X is the first hardware-virtualized GPU to present each virtual GPU to the virtual desktop OS as if it were a physical GPU. This hardware scheduling delivers predictable GPU performance to each user. Hardware-virtualized GPU acceleration also allows the use of native AMD FirePro™ professional graphics drivers in the virtual workstations to optimize performance and compatibility.

The DXG-S7100X delivers over 3x the density of similar rack servers by optimally matching the server CPU core density with the AMD FirePro S7100X GPU multiuser capability. The graphics and compute capability of the DXG-S7100X significantly expands the range of users that can leverage the benefits of workstation virtualization. For example, it can support up to 16 knowledge workers by offloading the display graphics rendering from the CPU to help provide an improved and predictable user experience. For designer/engineer users, the DXG-S7100X accelerates performance for demanding graphics and intensive compute applications such as deep learning, fluid dynamics, digital content creation, and complex scientific or engineering analysis. The built-in GPU compute mode offloads compute-intensive tasks to the GPU while other tasks continue to run on the CPU.
