Teradici APEX 2800 server offload card – 
an easy to implement, cost-effective ‘insurance’ for consistent user experience.

Coupled with next-generation PCoIP zero clients, the APEX 2800 with software release 2.x delivers a consistent user experience by improving frame rates megapixels per second by as much as 2X more than software encoding.

Ensures deployment success for VMware View and Teradici Arch for Microsoft RDSH

The Teradici APEX 2800 server offload card ensures the success of VMware View and Teradici Arch for Microsoft RDSH deployments by offloading PCoIP image encoding tasks and reducing server CPU utilization. This empowers IT managers to protect and ensure a consistent user experience while enabling increased VDI consolidation ratios.

Reduces peaks in server CPU utilization

By offloading image encoding to a hardware encoding card, the APEX 2800 reduces peaks in CPU utilization, ensuring a consistent user experience across all users regardless of task and activity level. In cases where the CPU is starving, the offload function enables applications to run more smoothly.

Provides a consistently optimal user experience

APEX 2800 ensures a consistent user experience by:

• Creating virtual CPU headroom to deliver consistent application performance, enabling intensive applications to run smoother
• Reducing peaks in CPU utilization by up to 50% and smoothing overall CPU demand – providing a reliable and consistent level of experience regardless of the overall demand on server CPUs
• Constantly monitoring the graphic encoding demands of each display and dynamically offloads up to 100 of the most active displays

Improve VDI consolidation ratio

As the APEX 2800 reduces server CPU utilization, the extra headroom can also be used to improve consolidation ratio by up to 1.2X in typical office workloads (5% video, 95% office). In use cases with high levels of pixel changes, such as a number of users all watching videos at the same time – consolidation ratio improvements can be up to 2X.

Simple installation & setup

• No complex configuration or management tools required
• Simply plugs into industry standard servers and is managed through VMware View Administrator (x8 FHHL and x4 HHHL)
• Compatible with all existing PCoIP zero clients and VMware View software clients
