Sometimes you need a little help from your friends. That’s why we’re delighted to announce the latest members of our 2018 NVIDIA virtual GPU Community Advisors Program, or NGCA.
Entering its third year, NGCA (formerly the NVIDIA GRID Advisors Program) brings together graphics virtualization thought leaders from around the globe who have invested significant time and resources to become experts in NVIDIA products and solutions.
This select group engages with NVIDIA team members to help drive the future of graphics virtualization and cloud technologies by providing feedback on product strategy, shaped by their experiences and expertise.
Our advisors are in a unique position to champion, monitor and advise our virtual GPU development team on product strategy based on their experiences and expertise.
Here’s what a few of our 2018 members had to say:
“Having been part of the inaugural NGCA program, it has been wonderful to see this program flourish and help foster the connectivity between NVIDIA and its customers on both social and technical levels. It is truly an honor to be able to continue as a part of this program among so many esteemed members.”
— Tobias Kreidl, Desktop Creation and Integration Services team lead, Northern Arizona University
“Like the old adage, ‘iron sharpens iron,’ sharing knowledge both energizes me and helps empower others to perform at a higher level. It’s awesome to share my end-user computing, VDI, RemoteApps and GPU insights with NVIDIA, customers and community peers and learn from others!”
— Ruben Spruijt, CTO, Frame
“To be accepted to the NGCA program for a second year running is a great privilege. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with groundbreaking and exciting technologies, innovative teams and individuals. The program will mean EBB3 and other leaders in the sector can collaborate to enable virtualized working on a global scale while pushing the boundaries of graphical software capabilities.”
— Ben Jones, co-founder and director of Platform, EBB3
