I’ve had some questions about virtualizing ArcGIS and I thought it might be helpful to share the links that I’ve found helpful in architecting around ArcGIS VDI/EUC deployments.
Updated 3-19-16 added a couple of additional links.
Sample ArcGIS rendering (MIT – 11.188: Urban Planning and Social Science Laboratory)
As I’m reviewing my links I’ve discovered that some are no longer relevant or have been updated to include limited information about virtualization and I have decided to exclude them.
All that said here are the links that I am aware of:
- Virtualizing ArcGIS Pro: Nvidia Grid vGPU Profiles: https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2015/05/29/virtualizing-arcgis-pro-nvidia-grid-vgpu-profiles/
- Virtualizing ArcGIS Pro: CPUs and GPUs: https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2015/05/28/49638/
- NVIDIA GRID™ VGPU™ DEPLOYMENT GUIDE FOR VMWARE HORIZON 6.1: http://www.nvidia.com/content/grid/pdf/grid-vgpu-deployment-guide.pdf
- NVIDIA Deployment guide for Esri ArcGIS 3D Pro 1.0: http://www.nvidia.com/object/app-guide-esri.html
- Virtualization and ArcGIS Server: http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/install/windows/virtualization-and-arcgis-server.htm
- Deploying an ArcGIS Server site on VMware: http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/install/windows/deploying-an-arcgis-server-site-on-vmware.htm
I wish the list were longer, if you know of one that I missed please add it to the content section below.
Enjoy,
Tony
