PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide (Issue 5)

6 PCoIP Deployment Scenarios
6.1 PCoIP Endpoints
PCoIP is a flexible technology that lets you deploy both PCoIP hardware endpoints (e.g.,
PCoIP zero clients and host cards) and PCoIP software endpoints (e.g., soft clients and
virtual desktops) in your network. For example, you can use a zero client to connect to a
PCoIP host card or to a virtual desktop. Alternatively, you can use a PCoIP soft client to
connect to a host card or virtual desktop.
6.1.1 PCoIP Hardware Endpoints
The following figure shows some examples of PCoIP hardware endpoints that you can
deploy in your network.
Figure 3-1: PCoIP Hardware Endpoints
The table below lists the processor name and family for each device, along with the set of
display resolutions the device supports.
Note: The processor name refers to the chipset used in the PCoIP device. For example,
TERA2140 is the processor used in the second-generation TERA2140 zero client, and
TERA2240 is the processor used in the second-generation TERA2240 PCIe host card (for
tower PC or rack mount workstations) and TERA2240 PCI Mezzanine host card (for blade
workstations). For details on how to display the processor name for your device, see
Displaying Processor Information.
