Virtualization and Private Cloud
Hypervisor hosts, VDI, and hyperconverged clusters sized on consolidation ratio, licensing cost, and what happens when a host fails.
Key application
Virtualization and Private Cloud
Virtualization sizing is an economics problem disguised as a hardware problem. Per-core hypervisor and guest licensing frequently exceeds the cost of the servers, so the right host is the one that minimizes total cost across hardware, licenses, power, and failover headroom - not the one with the lowest sticker price.
NTS specifies hypervisor hosts, VDI platforms with GPU acceleration, and hyperconverged nodes with balanced local NVMe. We model consolidation ratio, memory per core, N+1 failover capacity, and license impact, then integrate, burn in, and image the cluster in Fremont, CA with a documented firmware baseline.
Use this application hub to map workloads to NTS platforms—GPU servers, storage tiers, and rack integration—with Fremont staging and contract-ready quoting when required.
Each card links to deeper catalog or solution paths. Request an architecture review if you need CLIN structure, lead times, or a dual-vendor GPU comparison.
Workload path
From application intent to validated BOM
Application hubs connect mission use cases to engineer-to-order systems.
Start with the cards below to explore related platforms and capabilities. NTS sizes CPU, accelerator, memory, storage, and fabric together so power, cooling, and drivers match the workload—not orphan SKUs.
Federal and SLED buyers can carry the same architecture onto approved vehicles. Commercial teams get the same staging discipline without the GWAC paperwork when it is not required.

Frequently asked questions
From the guest inventory and the licensing model together. NTS profiles vCPU, memory, and IOPS demand, applies a realistic consolidation ratio, adds N+1 failover headroom, then compares host options on total cost including per-core licensing - which often changes the answer.
- Guest inventory profiled for vCPU, RAM, and IOPS
- Realistic consolidation ratio, not best case
- N+1 failover headroom included in the design
Because licensing can exceed hardware cost. A host with fewer, faster cores sometimes delivers the same capacity for far less license spend than a high-core-count part. NTS runs that comparison explicitly instead of defaulting to maximum core count.
- License cost modeled per host option
- Fewer fast cores versus many slow cores compared
- Total cost of ownership, not sticker price
VDI is judged on the user experience during the worst moment of the day. NTS sizes for login storms and peak concurrency rather than averages, plans vGPU profiles for graphics-heavy users, and validates users per host before you scale the deployment.
- Sized for login storms and peak concurrency
- vGPU profiles matched to user classes
- Users per host validated on a pilot node
By designing the failure domain up front. NTS includes N+1 or N+2 capacity so a host can fail or be patched without capacity loss, uses redundant power and networking, and documents the firmware baseline so rolling maintenance stays predictable.
- N+1 or N+2 capacity planning
- Redundant power and network paths
- Documented firmware baseline for rolling updates
