Why would I use DCV when desktop workstations have powerful graphics capabilities?
By using clusters of commodity workstations, DCV provides graphics processing capabilities far beyond what can be achieved by a single workstation. By processing the graphics centrally, even mobile computers can take advantage of the power of advanced workstation graphics cards to run high-performance visualization software on data which is kept local to the application. DCV offers the advantage of keeping your critical data in a central location on a high-performance, low-latency network. This data centralization also offers enhanced security since only rendered graphics ever need to leave your secure data center.
