PCoIP Zero Client and Remote Acceleration Solutions
Provide the highest quality user experience and easy management of desktop virtualization and remote workstation
Do it all with total security. The era of complex, non-secure PC solutions is almost over. In a traditional desktop environment, all computing resources and data are on the desktop, thus increasing the chance of corporate data leakage. Leadtek PCoIP ® -enabled virtual desktop solution, on the other hand, enables all computing resources and data to be transferred to a centralized server in a secure data center and lowers support overheads for the enterprise. This enhances enterprise data management and security while delivering an immaculate, uncompromised end user experience over standard IP networks. PCoIP zero client makes it possible to deliver workstation class performance for professional applications including 3D CAD/CAM, Digital Content Creation, video editing and advanced knowledge worker level business software.
Why can PCoIP Deliver the Best Image Quality over Network?
Host Rendering
In a regular PC, the applications, operating system and graphics drivers are tightly coupled to the display, such that the whole assembly is optimized for performance. PCoIP technology uses host rendering, which preserves the PC environment intact: system performance is maintained, hardware interfaces remain unaffected, applications perform as they should, and no driver changes are required. There are no application dependencies or incompatibilities between the host and the client. Host rendering also decreases latency sensitivity. The PCoIP protocol only re-sends lost packets
if the image has not changed since the packet was lost.
Intelligent Image Decomposition Using Multiple Codecs
PCoIP technology is a multi-codec protocol, continuously analyzing and decomposing the image elements – graphics, text, icons, video, etc. – and compressing them with the right codec for each pixel. This enables efficient transmission and decoding, saves bandwidth, and enables image elements that rapidly change to be displayed. PCoIP codecs can build every pixel to a lossless state once they stop changing, which is critical when the image contains important information, such as medical diagnostics, or optionally build to perceptual lossless to maximize bandwidth savings.
Dynamic Network Adaptation
The PCoIP protocol is an ‘intelligent’ protocol, dynamically adapting to network conditions in real time. Image quality settings can be easily configured to manage bandwidth use. PCoIP adaptive encoders then adjust image quality according to congestion on the network, within the set limits. Once network congestion decreases, maximum image quality is resumed. Because PCoIP technology
transmits just the pixels, not data, it utilizes UDP, a real-time, highly efficient protocol, which is ideally suited to the practicalities of working remotely over a limited bandwidth network, and results in increased responsiveness and improved user experience.
PCoIP Zero Client
PCoIP zero clients are hardware-based endpoints that use a highly integrated, purpose-built processor to perform image decompression and decoding. PCoIP zero clients do not have a general purpose CPU, local data storage or application operating system, resulting in ultra-secure and easy to manage clients that do not require regular updates or patches.
Features
- A book-size desktop device for any system that has the PCoIP server installed with VMware® HorizonTM View, VMware Horizon DaaS, Amazon WorkSpaces, Teradici Cloud Access Solutions, or a PCoIP remote acceleration host card.
- True PC experience while enabling all IT resources and management into the data center.
- Supports up to two ultra high-resolution 2560x1600 or four high-resolution 1920x1200 video, up to six USB, audio and Ethernet connectors.
- Input comes from the enterprise network via a standard Ethernet connector. Output is driven by the DVI/DisplayPort ports for video and USB ports for peripheral and I/O connections.
- The TERA2321 PoE zero client edition features Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) which allows a single cable to provide both Ethernet connection and electrical power to the client device.
- No CPU, no OS, no device drivers, no hard drive, no fan and no noise so it requires no management at all.
- The net result is a low cost and reliable client-side module that requires minimal IT administration and support because all processing resides in the centralized server, host PC or workstations.
- Go green with noiseless cooling and low power consumption.
- Completely driverless and stateless while it never stores any user or configuration data.
True PC Experience over IP
PCoIP sessions are established from PCoIP hardware zero clients to workstations with PCoIP remote acceleration host cards for full workstation-class performance, VMware Horizon View servers or Amazon WorkSpaces with the PCoIP protocol integrated to deliver enhanced security and performance. Leadtek PCoIP products are the only remoting solution that puts absolutely no load on the host CPU or graphics card, so CPU/GPU can devote all its energy for full-featured graphics. Maximum performance of 250 mega pixels per second (Mpps) capable of driving full screens of changing pixels or application refresh rates up to 60 frames per second (fps) ensures the best remote user experience.
High Security and Authentication
PCoIP solution allows ALL desktop computing hardware, including existing PCs, workstations, and servers, to be moved into a secure location. PCoIP transmits pixels – NOT data – so all data stays secure in your datacenter. PCoIP zero clients simply receive and decode encrypted image information, do not store any application data, and are immune to viral attack. It uses high standard AES 256 and NSA Suite B ciphers encryption. And extensive USB security and authentication features are provided, including single sign-on capabilities for use with smart cards.
Virtually NO Desktop Management
Unlike traditional thin clients which are basically small PCs running a version of Windows® or Linux, Leadtek PCoIP products are the only true zero clients that have no CPU, no operating system (no
Windows or Linux), no device drivers, no hard drive, no fan, no noise, etc. This means it requires no OS patches, no driver updates or virus signature files. Once it’s set up, users never have to touch it again.
VMware Ready
As a result of collaboration with VMware, VMware Horizon View incorporates PCoIP technology as the remote desktop protocol for virtual desktops, providing a significantly better user experience than is provided with other remoting protocols. Corporations deploying VMware Horizon View’s latest versions can now achieve all of the advantages of virtual desktop deployments with all of the advantages of the PCoIP protocol and with the manageability and performance advantages of PCoIP zero clients.
Resolution up to 2560x1600
A more powerful image engine and zero client processor core to support up to four displays at 1920x1200, or dual 2560x1600 resolution and the highest pixel processing power.
Go Green with Ultra-Low Power and Noiseless
Offers industry-leading low power consumption design and engineering technology. The net result is a small, quiet, low power and reliable device that requires minimal IT administration and support.
PCoIP Remote Acceleration Card for Workstation
PCoIP remote acceleration cards can be added to any existing PC or workstation to enable field-proven high-end 1:1 session leveraging PCoIP protocol graphics and desktop performance. It’s the only hardware remote solution which can allows high-end 3D applications with dedicated GPUs that is not available when using virtualized desktops.
Powerful Collaboration with High Performance Graphics Card
No matter you are a 3D game artist, an animation modeling designer, movie editor, or mechanical engineer, your workstation which is embedded the workstation card or other high-performance graphics card must offer high level of interactivity while enabling unprecedented performance, features and photo-realistic image quality. PCoIP host card series is the only hardware remote solution which allows you continue using your current graphics card to deliver the fastest application performance and the highest quality workstation graphics. Power-users can connect to their workstation remotely with a PCoIP Zero Client and experience the highest performance workspace necessary to their productivity, or a software client when working from home or on the go.
