Purpose-built Display Protocol Enables Customers to Deploy Rich
Functionality with Support from Broad Range of Third-party Solutions
VMware, Inc. the global leader in virtualization
solutions from the desktop through the datacenter and to the cloud, announced broad ecosystem support of the Teradici PC-over-IP
(PCoIP) protocol delivered in VMware View 4,
VMware View 4 is the industry’s only purpose-built desktop
virtualization solution, setting a new quality, cost and scale standard
while eliminating critical barriers that have traditionally restricted
customer adoption. The VMware software implementation of the patented
PCoIP protocol is a key feature of VMware View 4, raising the bar for
delivering a rich, high-quality desktop experience to any user—from the
basic task worker to the most demanding power user—regardless of
location, addressing more use cases than ever before. With support for
native VMware View software clients and PCoIP-enabled hardware from a
variety of ecosystem partners, VMware View with PCoIP is specifically
designed to provide customers the flexibility to deploy end-to-end
solutions with a variety of end point options to meet the most diverse
range of end user and business needs.
Unlike other legacy application delivery solutions, the robust PCoIP
protocol in VMware View 4 is purpose-built for virtual desktop delivery
over any network. The flexible access model enables users to work with
a wide range of applications, view rich media content, choose any
number of monitor configurations and seamlessly access locally attached
peripheral devices such as printers, scanners and mass storage with a
PC-like experience regardless of location or task. The protocol
dynamically detects and adapts to the end user’s network connection,
automatically analyzing and optimizing to compensate for changes in
latency and bandwidth to help ensure the best user experience for the
scenario.
“VMware prides itself on partnering with a robust ecosystem so that
together we can enable the best desktop solutions based on our diverse
customer needs,” said Jocelyn Goldfein, vice president and general
manager, Desktop Business Unit, VMware. “With VMware View 4,
PC-over-IP, and strong support from the ecosystem, we’re expanding the
reach of our solutions and addressing more use cases than ever before
while delivering an optimal experience to end users.”
