Product Details
From task workers to designers and architects, many of their everyday applications rely on GPU acceleration to deliver responsive user experiences and maximize productivity. Traditional CPU-only virtual machines often struggle to keep up with modern applications, leading to frustrated users as their productivity declines, while deploying GPU-accelerated, on-premises virtual environments can be too costly.
With the introduction of NVv4, Microsoft Azure now offers security focused and affordable modern desktop experiences in the cloud. Powered by AMD Radeon Instinct™ GPUs and its industry-first SR-IOV technology, the NVv4 instance offers a choice of four configurable options designed to deliver just the right amount of GPU capability for any enterprise workloads. NVv4 instances offer license-free GPU partitioning on discrete-GPUs in Azure.
Microsoft Azure NVv4 instances are fully supported by Windows® Virtual Desktop and Citrix® Cloud Services. This flexibility helps to mitigate the challenges of moving from a private data center to Microsoft Azure by enabling Citrix customers to work with familiar, preferred solutions and tools.

Features
NVv4 is an Enterprise Game-Changer
- Accelerate user experiences with desktops and workstation in the Cloud:
AMD powered NVv4 instances facilitate the delivery of a modern desktop experience from the Cloud by providing GPU-enabled, high performing, virtual desktops which accelerate the GPU-dependent functions of today’s productivity and 3D professional applications. - Focus on data security with innovative, GPU-partitioning technology
AMD-powered NVv4 instances use hardware-based, SR-IOV-enforced isolation of PCIe® resources, which helps prevent one VM from being able to access another VM’s data and applications. - Deliver affordable GPU resources to match the different needs for enterprise
NVv4 instances enable license-free GPU partitioning for the first time in Microsoft Azure. With this capability, NVv4 provides GPU options in four increments - ranging from 2GB up to 16GB - to make virtual desktop experiences more affordable by matching GPU resources to the variety of enterprise workload needs.
Innovations Built for Modern Cloud
- The first SR-IOV based, GPU-partitioned virtual machine on Microsoft Azure
- Choose between four NVv4 options to better match the resources to the intended workload
- Enjoy a “true” Windows® 10 experience whether as a single- or multi-session with support for Windows® Enterprise Multi-Session
- Powered by the latest innovation from AMD with 2nd Gen AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Radeon Instinct™ GPUs
- Benefit from license-free, GPU partitioning discrete-GPU VM with support for workstation-class application even when the GPU is partitioned
