Using PCoIP Host Cards with VMware View
TER0911004 Issue 3 10
1 Overview
VMware View lets you set up PCoIP sessions between PCoIP clients and PCoIP host cards.
Using a PCoIP host card installed in a physical PC or workstation lets you remote higher end
3D applications that use dedicated GPUs.
This document describes how to set up a PCoIP session between a PCoIP zero client or
software client (i.e., a notebook or thin client running a VMware View client) and a PCoIP
host card using VMware View.
