Scaling the AI-Ready Data Center with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition and NVIDIA vGPU 20

The post covers deploying virtual machines using the new RTX PRO 4500 Server Edition GPU with vGPU 20 software in enterprise data centers. It explains how MIG technology partitions a single GPU into up to two independent hardware instances, each with dedicated 16 GB memory, enabling multiple workloads to run simultaneously without resource contention. A step-by-step tutorial walks through configuring VMware vSphere for vGPU and MIG profiles, attaching MIG-backed vGPU profiles to VMs, and provisioning VMs for different enterprise workloads (knowledge work, entry-level workstations, data science). Performance comparisons show nearly 1.9x graphics acceleration over the L4 in 4K virtualized environments. vGPU 20 also introduces new features including fixed-share scheduling, AI Virtual WorkStation toolkit, and cloud availability on Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
