Introduction

Take remote work to the next level with NVIDIA A16. Combined with NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC)  or NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) software, the A16 enables virtual desktops and workstations with the power and performance to tackle any project from anywhere. Purpose-built for high-density, graphics-rich virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and leveraging the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, A16 provides double the user density versus the previous generation, while ensuring the best possible user experience.

Did you know?

When combined with NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) software, the A16 enables affordable entry-level virtual workstations ideal for running workloads such as computer-aided design (CAD). The A16 features a unique quad-GPU board design enabling the provisioning of mixed user profile sizes, so IT can support light virtual PC workloads as well as users with larger memory and graphics requirements. Mixing user types on a board is also supported, enabling the provisioning of virtual PCs, virtual workstations, and even virtualized compute on a single board.

Part number information

The following table shows the part numbers for the NVIDIA A16 GPU.

Table 1. Ordering information
Part number Feature code Description Controlled GPU status
4X67A76727 BNFE ThinkSystem NVIDIA A16 64GB Gen4 PCIe Passive GPU No
CTO only BQZU ThinkSystem NVIDIA A16 64GB Gen4 PCIe Passive GPU w/o CEC No

The NVIDIA A16 GPU is not Controlled which means the GPU is unrestricted and is available in all markets.

The PCIe option part numbers includes the following:

  • One NVIDIA A16 GPU with full-height (3U) adapter bracket attached
  • Documentation

GPUs without a CEC chip: The NVIDIA A16 GPU is offered without a CEC chip (look for "w/o CEC" in the name). The CEC is a secondary Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) module that provides an additional layer of security, which can be used by customers who have high regulatory requirements or high security standards. NVIDIA uses a multi-layered security model and hence the protection offered by the primary Root of Trust embedded in the GPU is expected to be sufficient for most customers. The CEC defeatured products still offer Secure Boot, Secure Firmware Update, Firmware Rollback Protection, and In-Band Firmware Update Disable. Specifically, without the CEC chip, the GPU does not support Key Revocation or Firmware Attestation. CEC and non-CEC GPUs of the same type of GPU can be mixed in field upgrades.

Features

The ThinkSystem NVIDIA A16 64GB Gen4 PCIe Passive GPU offers the following features:

  • Designed For Accelerated VDI: Optimized for user density, and combined with NVIDIA vPC software, enables graphics-rich virtual PCs to be accessible from anywhere.
  • Affordable Virtual Workstations: Large frame buffer per user for entry-level virtual workstations, with NVIDIA RTX vWS software, running workloads such as computer-aided design (CAD).
  • Flexibly Support Diverse User Types: Unique quad-GPU board design enables the provisioning of mixed user profile sizes and user types, such as virtual PCs and virtual workstations, on a single board.
  • Superior User Experience: Provides increased frame rate and lower end-user latency, versus CPU-only VDI, resulting in more responsive applications and a user experience that is indistinguishable from a native PC or workstation.
  • Double The User Density: Purpose-built for graphics-rich VDI, with support for up to 64 concurrent users per board, in a dual-slot form factor.
  • High-Resolution Display: Supports multiple, high resolution monitors to enable maximum productivity and photorealistic quality in a VDI environment.
  • More Than 2X The Encoder Throughput: More than double the encoder throughput versus previous generation M10, providing high-performance transcoding and the multiuser performance required for multi-stream video and multimedia.
  • Highest Quality Video: Support for the latest codecs, including H.265 encode/decode, VP9, and AV1 decode for the highest-quality video experiences.
  • NVIDIA Ampere Architecture: NVIDIA Ampere architecture based CUDA cores, second generation RT-Cores, and third- generation Tensor-Cores provide the flexibility to host virtual workstations powered by NVIDIA RTX vWS software, or to leverage unused VDI resources to run compute workloads with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.

NVIDIA GPU software

NVIDIA vGPU Software (vApps, vPC, RTX vWS)

Lenovo offers the following virtualization software for NVIDIA GPUs:

  • Virtual Applications (vApps)

    For organizations deploying Citrix XenApp, VMware Horizon RDSH or other RDSH solutions. Designed to deliver PC Windows applications at full performance. NVIDIA Virtual Applications allows users to access any Windows application at full performance on any device, anywhere. This edition is suited for users who would like to virtualize applications using XenApp or other RDSH solutions. Windows Server hosted RDSH desktops are also supported by vApps.

  • Virtual PC (vPC)

    This product is ideal for users who want a virtual desktop but need great user experience leveraging PC Windows® applications, browsers and high-definition video. NVIDIA Virtual PC delivers a native experience to users in a virtual environment, allowing them to run all their PC applications at full performance.

  • NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (RTX vWS)

    NVIDIA RTX vWS is the only virtual workstation that supports NVIDIA RTX technology, bringing advanced features like ray tracing, AI-denoising, and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to a virtual environment. Supporting the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs unlocks the best performance possible, so designers and engineers can create their best work faster. IT can virtualize any application from the data center with an experience that is indistinguishable from a physical workstation — enabling workstation performance from any device.

The following license types are offered:

  • Perpetual license

    A non-expiring, permanent software license that can be used on a perpetual basis without the need to renew. Each Lenovo part number includes a fixed number of years of Support, Upgrade and Maintenance (SUMS).

  • Annual subscription

    A software license that is active for a fixed period as defined by the terms of the subscription license, typically yearly. The subscription includes Support, Upgrade and Maintenance (SUMS) for the duration of the license term.

  • Concurrent User (CCU)

    A method of counting licenses based on active user VMs. If the VM is active and the NVIDIA vGPU software is running, then this counts as one CCU. A vGPU CCU is independent of the connection to the VM.
