PCoIP technology fulfills the promise of desktop remoting
An Uncompromised User Experience
A True Zero-Management Client
Exceptional Security

Host rendering supports all current and future graphics
• Graphics are rendered by encoding pixels on the host
• Client just decodes the protocol rather than rendering graphics commands

Adaptive encoding dynamically adjusts for best video quality
PCoIP technology automatically balances frame rate and quality Continuously adapts to changes in bandwidth and graphics complexity
Uncapped, single-session bandwidth comparisons are misleading

Initially, PCoIP was a 1:1 hardware-based solution

VMware integrated 3 key PCoIP components into View 4
1. Software implementation of PCoIP host encoding Runs on host CPU – no custom hardware required
2. PCoIP support in VMware View 4 Client (software client) Runs on x86 hardware – PC, laptop or traditional thin client
3. View Manager can broker PCoIP connections Software Software Software Hardware Hardware Hardware (in beta – coming soon) Hardware Software (future)

Superior security helps CIOs sleep at night
No data on the desktop… ever
No hacking, viruses or spyware
All data fully encrypted
Superior USB authentication

Traditional Remoting
USB device support Subject to drivers etc. 100% device support*
Device drivers Drivers on desktop client No drivers on desktop
Isochronous devices Generally no (or poor) Yes
USB plug event On desktop client On host PC
Authentication In software on host In hardware on desktop
Unauthorized devices Connect to host PC Die on the desktop
USB devices are more secure, transparent and manageable

VPN access with zero-client requires VPN router or VMware Security Server
Zero-client has no CPU to run software VPN client
Thin client can run soft VPN client
VMware will extend Security Server to support PCoIP traffic

USB 2.0 and isochronous USB not currently supported with zero-client
VMware soft client supports higher USB speed and isochronous USB
Future enhancements will address these in zero-clients
