Term
Description
Peer
Each PCoIP device has a corresponding device, or a peer, to which it
connects. For example, if a zero client establishes a PCoIP connection to
a host card, the zero client and host at each end of the session are
peers.
PCoIP
A presentation protocol that enables zero clients and host video cards to
deliver high–performance video, audio and USB data to users. PCoIP
technology consists of dedicated processors on the zero client and on the
host to which the zero client connects.
Quad
A ClearCube zero client supporting four displays, a quad host card, or
any related four-display configuration using PCoIP technology.
R3040S
A dual-width ClearCube blade with dual Intel® Xeon® Quad-core
processors, up to 4 hard disk drives and hardware RAID support, four
10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, and support for host cards. Up to four
R3040S blades can fit in a ClearCube R4300 chassis.
R3082D
A ClearCube blade with Intel Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors,
two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, and support for ClearCube dual and tri
(triple-monitor) host cards. Up to eight R3082D blades can fit in a
ClearCube R4300 chassis.
R4300
The ClearCube R4300-series chassis provides all the connectivity and
management features necessary to house ClearCube R-series PC
blades. When combined with ClearCube Sentral management software,
the chassis delivers unique capabilities such as hot sparing, blade
switching, hardware remote control, and out-of-band blade management.
The chassis is based on a modular, redundant architecture that can be
configured to optimally support ClearCube C/Ports, I/Ports or both. The
R4300 can contain up to eight single-slot blades (such as the R3082D)
and four dual-slot blades (such as the R3040S).
Sentral
ClearCube Sentral is a connection broker that enables IT administrators
to manage remote computing environments. Sentral can optimize
hardware utilization by dynamically allocating zero clients to a defined
pool of hosts (computers). Alternatively, administrators can map users to
specific hosts. Automatic zero client and host discovery makes it easy for
administrators to manage computing assets. Administrators can use
Sentral to switch zero client users to a spare host if they experience
device-related issues. See Sentral Administrator’s Guide for more
information.
SLP
Service Location Protocol is a discovery protocol that enables computers
