Omniverse Launcher Deployment Options
------------------------------------------------------   

The Omniverse Launcher is available in two versions: the Omniverse Workstation Launcher and the IT Managed Launcher. Omniverse Enterprise customers may choose either version depending on their deployment preference. 

- The **Omniverse Workstation Launcher** offers a complete experience and does not require IT management for application installation or updates. Of note, the Omniverse Workstation Launcher requires network connectivity and an NVIDIA account. 
- The **IT Managed Launcher** is designed for use on an air-gapped network and does not require network connectivity or an NVIDIA account. In this case, application installation and updates are managed by the IT administrator for all end users. 

Both the Workstation Launcher and the IT Managed Launcher are available from NVIDIA's licensing and software portal.

Please review the `Nucleus Sizing Guide <../../install-guide/sizing-guide.html>`__ to determine the best choice for you or your company.   

Virtualization Deployments
---------------------------------

Kit based apps (like |composer|, |presenter|, etc.) can be run in a virtualized environment using NVIDIA's vGPU product.  The benefits of a virtualized environment are: 
    
    - Multiple GPUs can be scaled beyond 2 GPUs that are common in a workstation
    - Fast loading of large datasets as Nucleus the VDI hosts are hosted in a common DataCenter environment.
    - Security as sensitive data is kept within a secure datacenter and only pixels are shared. 
    - Ability to run large models on a laptop or other thin client device that does not support Nvidia GPUs using VDI. 

The `Virtual Deployment Guide <../../prod_deployment/prod_deployment/overview.html>`__  provides an overview of how to set up a vGPU environment capable of hosting Omniverse.
