About the Anyware Graphics Agent for Windows
The Graphics Agent for Windows is part of HP Anyware. It enables users to deliver GPU-powered physical and virtual workstations to end users via remote clients.
Users include high-end knowledge workers, graphic designers, artists, and CAD/CAM designers.
A deployed Graphics Agent for Windows requires these components:
-
A host machine which provides the desktop to remote clients. The host can be physical or virtual, in the cloud, or in a data center. See System Requirements for more information.
-
The Graphics Agent for Windows software installed on the host machine.
-
A GPU. The Graphics Agent is compatible with any GPU, but is optimized for NVIDIA GRID-compatible GPUs and AMD Radeon™ GPUs.
The GPU can be dedicated to the workstation, or shared among virtual workstations by a hypervisor. See System Requirements for more information.
