To help support the many other businesses with GPUs in their servers, we recently made <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nvidia.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/24\/expanding-free-virtualization-licenses\/\">vGPU licenses free<\/a> for up to 500 users for 90 days to explore their virtualization options.<\/p>\n<p>But many still require access to physical Quadro desktop workstations due to specific hardware configurations or data requirements. And we know this situation is hardly unique.<\/p>\n<p>Many designers, engineers, artists and architects have Quadro RTX mobile workstations that are on par with their desktop counterparts, which helps them stay productive anywhere. However, a vast number of professionals don\u2019t have access to their office-based workstations \u2014 with multiple high-end GPUs, large memory and storage, as well as applications and data.<\/p>\n<p>These workstations are critical for keeping\u00a0 everything from family firms to multinational corporations going. And this has forced IT teams to explore different ways to address the challenges of working from home by connecting remotely to an office workstation.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Getting Started: Tools for Remote Connections<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The list below shows several publicly available remote-working tools that are helpful to get going quickly. For details on features and licensing, contact the respective providers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www8.hp.com\/us\/en\/workstations\/zcentral-remote-boost.html\">HP ZCentral Remote Boost<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.logmein.com\/\">LogMeIn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/microsoft-remote-desktop\/9wzdncrfj3ps?activetab=pivot:overviewtab\">Microsoft Remote Desktop<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomachine.com\/\">NoMachine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashtop.com\/\">Splashtop<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamviewer.com\/\">TeamViewer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tgxremotedesktop.com\/\">TGX Remote Desktop<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cendio.com\/\">ThinLinc<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Managing Access, Drivers and Reboots<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019re up and running, keep these considerations in mind:<\/p>\n<p><b>Give yourself a safety net when working on a remote system\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There are times that your tools can stop working, so it\u2019s a good idea to have a safety net. Always install a VNC server on the machine (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tightvnc.com\/\">https:\/\/www.tightvnc.com\/<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realvnc.com\/en\/\">https:\/\/www.realvnc.com\/en\/<\/a> or others) no matter what remote access tool you use. It\u2019s also a good idea to enable <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows-server\/remote\/remote-desktop-services\/clients\/remote-desktop-allow-access\">Access to Microsoft Remote Desktop<\/a> as another option. These run quietly in the background, but are ready if you need them in an emergency<\/p>\n<p><b>Updating your driver remotely<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We recommend you use a VNC connection to upgrade your drivers. Changing the driver often changes the parts the driver the remote access tools are using, so you often lose the connection. VNC doesn\u2019t connect into the driver at a low level, so keeps working as the old driver is changed out to the new. Once the driver is updated, you can go back to your other remote access tools.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rebooting your machine remotely<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Normally you can reboot with the windows menus. Give the system a few minutes to restart and then log back in. If your main remote-working tools have stopped functioning, try a VNC connection. You can also restart from a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/powershell\/module\/microsoft.powershell.management\/restart-computer?view=powershell-7\">PowerShell Window<\/a> or command prompt from your local machine with the command: shutdown \/r \/t 0 \/m \\\\[machine-name]<\/p>\n<h2><b>App-Specific Resources<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Several software makers with applications for professionals working in the manufacturing, architecture, and media and entertainment industries have provided instructions on using their applications from home.
