Teradici Delivers Protocol Enhancements in PCoIP® Software Release 3.8

New release improves bandwidth, session resilience and performance monitoring capabilities

Burnaby, British Columbia – August 30, 2011 — Teradici, the developer of the PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) protocol which enables a true PC experience for desktop virtualization, announced today enhanced capabilities in PCoIP Software Release 3.8. The new release offers bandwidth improvement by up to 75 percent, enhanced session resilience for mobile users and software session statistics to improve end user session management and performance monitoring.

The PCoIP Software Release 3.8 enhancements include:

  • Client side caching – caches images and portions of the desktop composition to minimize retransmission of pixels across the network resulting in a significant reduction in the bandwidth of individual sessions.
  • Enhanced text CODEC – An update to the PCoIP lossless CODEC used for text will improve compression resulting in lower bandwidth requirements.
  • GPO control of build to lossless – enables users to choose the right solution for their individual deployments by providing an option for disabling PCoIP build to lossless to maximize bandwidth savings.
  • Session resilience – improves the ability to recover from sessions with high packet loss or network interrupts.
  • Software session statistics – over 30 per session statistics for monitoring performance and user experience using perfmon or any WMI 3rd party tool.

“Our new release delivers a significant reduction in bandwidth consumption, improved session resilience for mobile users and comprehensive performance monitoring and diagnosis capabilities - addressing important issues for our customers and IT professionals,” said Trent Punnet, vice president of marketing, product management and systems engineering at Teradici. “Teradici is excited to introduce these PCoIP protocol enhancements to address the needs of users on LAN, WAN and mobile networks, and enable our customers to better manage their virtual desktop infrastructure.”

Teradici’s PCoIP software release 3.8 is included in VMware View 5.0.

About PCoIP Technology

Teradici’s PCoIP protocol is an innovative remote display technology that allows the user’s desktop operating system, applications, and data to reside in the datacenter, eliminating the need for traditional desktop workstations, PCs and thin clients, and delivers an uncompromised user experience to each person, anywhere, over any network and to any type of device without incurring the security risks associated with having data reside in remote PCs, laptops, or tablets. PCoIP technology provides high resolution, full frame rate 3D graphics and high-definition media, with full USB peripheral interoperability, locally over a LAN or remotely over a high-latency WAN. It compresses, encrypts and encodes the entire computing experience at the datacenter and transmits it 'pixels only' across a standard IP network to secure, stateless PCoIP zero clients, thin clients, and mobile devices.

The PCoIP protocol is implemented in several software configurations, including VMware View™, the industry leading desktop virtualization platform as well as in silicon for hardware accelerated performance and enhanced security. A growing ecosystem of over 30 third-party vendors provide a wide variety of PCoIP products including server plug-in cards, rack and tower workstations, blade PCs, zero clients, integrated monitors, and IP phones with PCoIP capability.
