HP Velocity deployments for thin clients
HP Velocity deployments vary based on the virtualization architecture in use. Use the following table to determine where
to install HP Velocity Server Side.
Note: HP Velocity Server Side is supported on Windows® operating systems only.
Direct deployment
Virtualization architectures that allow HP thin clients to connect directly to virtual desktops must have HP Velocity Server
Side installed on the virtual desktops. In this type of deployment, a connection broker does not act as a proxy.
In Figure 3 on page 3
, thin clients A and B are directly connected to their respective virtual desktops A and B.
