This testing was only able to accommodate 16 sessions in our physical lab space, however with this kind of performance, it is possible to load a Nutanix node with 36-40 VMs and have an acceptable if not predictable user experience running processes such as 3D rendering. \u00a0The dataset used for this testing is not the largest, nor is it the most complex 3d project, however it does visually render a large cityscape. This type of testing can impact the overall experience when rendering a similar dataset while using Windows 10 with other office products running. Given that dependency a VM can require the use of a NVIDIA 2Q profile, and avoid a loss of performance with the VM or a loss of functionality with ArcGIS Pro.<\/p>\n<p>ArcGIS Pro is made for virtualized environments, and can fully leverage a well-provisioned system. As a personal observation, one thing that makes Nutanix stand out is the ease of deploying a host, which is then ready to deploy a vGPU, 3d ready VM, and run ArcGIS Pro. Using Esri software with Nutanix makes for a scalable architecture that can expand with the needs of GIS users, with 3D rendering and beyond.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":6391,"user_firstname":"Ryan","user_lastname":"Danzey","nickname":"Ryan Danzey","user_nicename":"rdanzey","display_name":"Ryan
