The first version will be used to test the concept, and version 1.5 will be installed in production environments, according to Punnett. Rolling out a product that changes the way desktops are run isn't done overnight. Network printing will be included in version 1.0. That will be followed by a beta program in October.īetween now and December, Teradici is planning to do a lot of testing, and hopefully also add a few features that are scheduled for inclusion in later versions, including USB support and local printing.
#PCOIP PROTOCOL CODE#
The code has been up and running for a month and is solid, Punnett said. On Monday, Teradici will start an alpha program for a limited number of partners and customers. The latter will include application publishing, alongside desktops. The first version of Teradici RDSH will start shipping in December, followed by version 1.5 in June and version 2.0 in November next year. It is well-developed and has a lot of bells and whistles, but it is also pricey," said Punnett. The way to think of this is as a solution that is complementary to VMware View, and makes it more competitive with Citrix Systems. VMware's View infrastructure is used to handle all sessions and the management of both environments. Another option is to use VMware's View clients, he said. When upgrading desktops Teradici recommends the use of hardware-based zero clients, because they are the easiest to deploy and users get the best performance, according to Punnett. Although one streaming protocol is selected when a WorkSpace is created, it is impossible to switch between PCoiP and WSP protocols within a WorkSpace. Yet, a single directory can include a combination of PCoIP and WSP-based WorkSpaces users. For the product to work, the clients have to be compatible with PCoIP. However, a single user cannot maintain a PCoIP and a WSP WorkSpace in the same directory.
#PCOIP PROTOCOL WINDOWS#
On the server side, RDSH is compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. The company is a little nervous because of its support for RemoteFX, which is also used to improve the performance of RDS, according to Punnett. Microsoft has been briefed a number of times and is fully aware of what Teradici is doing. PCoIP really shines on more graphic-intensive applications, including video playback, he said. The performance difference you get when you do that is quite striking, according to Punnett.
#PCOIP PROTOCOL DRIVER#
What Teradici has done is add a driver for PCoIP to the Windows Server, which basically takes RDS out of the picture. Also, some applications aren't applicable, and enterprises want them to remain in the RDS desktop pool," said Punnett. "But VDI is expensive to deploy, and it is also difficult to deploy. Many enterprises are very interested in VDI for some of their desktops and particular use cases, according to Punnett. The target customers are enterprises that want to run VMware View and Microsoft Terminal Services at the same time.
