Using PCoIP Host Cards with VMware View (Issue 3)
Using PCoIP Host Cards with VMware View
TER0911004 Issue 3 29
7 Deployment Considerations
The PCoIP protocol provides a real-time delivery of a rich user desktop experience in virtual
desktop and remote workstation environments. To ensure a responsive desktop, you must
deploy the PCoIP protocol across a properly architected network infrastructure for your
virtual desktops. This architecture must meet bandwidth, QoS, latency, jitter, and packet loss
requirements.
For more details, see the Virtual Desktop Network Design Checklist (TER1105004) and
PCoIP to VMware View 4 Virtual Desktop Configuration and WAN Network Optimization
Guide (TER1007002).
7.1 Bandwidth Matrix for Various Setups of Zero Clients,
Soft Clients, and Hosts
The following table describes the encryption algorithm and bandwidth metrics used for
various setups of zero clients, VMware View clients, soft and host workstations. For more
details, see Knowledge Base item 15134-281 from the Teradici Support site.
