    Does this “Desktop Virtualization using PC-over-IP (in a hypervisor environment)” mean you can use PCoIP clients like the Devon IT CP20 to access a virtual machine running on top of a hypervisor using PC-over-IP? If so can you please provide additional details as to the exact hardware and software required to achieve this?

    Scott, Yes, PC-over-IP works in a hypervisor environment with clients like the DevonIT’s TC-10 (CP-20 is IBM’s product name). There are multiple ways that PC-over-IP can integrate into a Hypervisor environment depending on the Hypervisor features. We will provide more detail in an upcoming blog.

    I invite you to join us booth 1442 at VMworld in Las Vegas, Sept 16-18, 2008. http://www.vmworld.com/conferences/2008/
