Teradici® CAS Remoting Software
Connecting employees to their desktops and workstations from anywhere, with the security, performance and flexibility IT teams need to meet the demands of a hybrid workforce.
Teradici CAS (Cloud Access Software) enables all your employees and contractors, even those requiring graphic-intensive applications like artists, editors, producers, architects, designers, and engineers, to work from anywhere. The highly responsive, feature-rich experience that CAS remoting software delivers is the reason we won an Engineering Emmy in 2020. But it’s not just loved by users, IT departments love us too.
Keep content and
data secure in your data center
(the corporate stuff that would get your boss fired if it ever leaked)
Based on our secure PCoIP remote display protocol that connects more than 15 million endpoints around the globe, no data or business information leaves the safety of the corporate network.
With PCoIP technology, only display information in the form of fully encrypted pixels are transferred to the remote endpoint and with Multi-Factor Authentication, only the right users can connect. This is why IT administrators from top government agencies and large media & entertainment studios trust Teradici CAS to keep their data and content secure.
You choose the infrastructure and hardware
(with the added bonus that you can change your mind anytime)
When we say Teradici CAS works on any host environment, we mean it. Employees and contractors can remotely access their Windows, Linux or macOS desktops that are on physical workstations, on-prem data centers, or hosted in public clouds. Even dark site deployments are supported.
And the same is true on the client side, unless your team is trying to access their remote desktop from a 2005 flip phone. With CAS remoting software, IT teams can leverage whatever endpoint devices are in the office or what users have sitting around at home, without compromising security.
Keep users productive everywhere and anywhere
(even from 30,000 feet in a plane flying to Timbuktu)
The PCoIP protocol, which enables Teradici CAS connections, was designed to deliver interactive applications, regardless of network conditions. It’s a multi-codec solution that dynamically adapts, encodes and delivers the most accurate and distortion-free experience.
CAS remoting software also enhances desktop performance, as data, compute, and graphics are in the same environment, eliminating data transfer times and improving user productivity. Offering uncompromised 4K/UHD throughput, efficient scaling across multicore CPUs and intelligent Auto-Offload between CPU and GPU encoder resources, Teradici CAS makes users forget they’re not in the office or at their workstation (unless of course they are in the office working on a virtual machine).

CAS makes all the magic happen for Windows, Linux and macOS desktops and applications through three core software components
PCoIP Agents can be deployed in any host environment, including workstations or virtual machines running Windows, Linux or MacOS
We offer two different types of Agents depending on whether you require a GPU for graphics-intensive applications or if the applications run solely off a CPU. The Agents can be deployed in a workstation or datacenter, in a public cloud (such as AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure), in multiple clouds or as part of a hybrid environment when you need additional resources for short term projects or when a pandemic or disaster strikes.
Alternatively, PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards also act as an Agent and available from our OEM/ODM partners. For more of a deep dive or to download one of our Agents, check out our tech docs and downloads.
PCoIP Clients can be installed on any local or remote endpoint device, including PCs, Macs, laptops, tablets, and integrated displays
Because we like to provide options, we also offer many types of client options depending on the type of endpoint device. We have Software Clients for Windows, Linux and MacOS that cover PCs, Macs, laptops or integrated displays. We also have Mobile Clients for Android tablets and laptops as well as iOS tablets.
The PCoIP Clients not only enable users to connect securely to a remote desktop or workstation via the PCoIP Agent and CAS Manager, but they also support multiple displays (up to 4) and peripherals such as Wacom pen displays and tablets or game controllers.
Alternatively, both PCoIP Zero Clients and PCoIP Enabled Thin Clients from our OEM/ODM partners also act as a client in a Teradici CAS deployment. For more of a deep dive or to download one of our software clients, check out our tech docs and downloads.
CAS Manager can be installed in any customer environment or accessed as a Teradici service to secure, broker, provision, and monitor Teradici CAS connections
CAS Manager is the connection management plane that is included in our enterprise subscriptions. The single unified interface enables IT Administrators to provision remote desktops and workstations, manage cloud consumption, and entitle secure PCoIP connections to remote Windows, Linux, or MacOS (coming soon) desktops, all from a single unified interface.
Additional CAS Manager benefits and features:
- Tap into existing Active Directory services, eliminate manual configuration tasks and improve administrative efficiency
- Provide users access to one or many remote desktops and workstations as desired, easily modifying, adding, or removing user access as needed
- Control cloud up-time service charges by turning off machines that are not in active use
- Enable secure user entitlements by brokering PCoIP connections and Multifactor Authentication (MFA) as an added security mechanism
- Support multicloud deployments across public, private or hybrid cloud environments, including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and on-premises data centers
We never stop working on features to delight you
(You may want to sit down before reading any further)
Broad peripheral support
We continue to grow the list of peripherals supported such as 3D mice, game console controllers, webcams, smart card readers and more, but our #1 most loved feature is around our deep Wacom acceleration peripheral support.
Learn moreInteractive collaboration
We get it, you’re not in the office all the time. As we adjust to the new hybrid work models, we’ve added screen sharing support so multiple users can access the same PCoIP session for reviewing work.
Dead simple VDI management
CAS Manager is included with all Teradici CAS subscriptions, adding a bunch of security, brokering, provisioning and monitoring features.
Customizable interfaces
CAS APIs and SDKs enable you to integrate PCoIP technology to create your own customized products or services.
PCoIP enhancements
Every Teradici CAS customer gets access to the latest PCoIP protocol enhancements that continually optimize user experience regardless of network performance and resolution, color, and frame rates across multiple displays.

When we went home to work, about half of our team had Teradici CAS while the others still had GoToMyPC. Nobody who tried Teradici software would go back. They won’t give up multi-monitor support and not having to trade resolution for smooth motion. If I rotate a model from my home machine, the experience is almost exactly the same as it would be in the office.
Even with just a 40Mbps home Internet connection, artists using Teradici CAS have an amazing experience with Maya, ZBrush, and Unreal Engine running on their office workstation—and can use Wacom devices. When we tested Remote Desktop, in contrast, artists needed a 100Mbps connection to use ZBrush. And even at that speed Unreal and Wacom devices were unusable.
With our VFX [visual effects] cloud and Teradici CAS, we’re no longer limited by creative resources and hardware when we pitch for work. We can grow or shrink our workforce as needed by spinning virtual machines up or down.

How to Buy
You’re one step closer to implementing the best remoting experience for your organization
Our Teradici CAS enterprise subscriptions allow you to scale based on your internal demand for remote desktops and workstations – you’re welcome. Our subscriptions are based on the number of concurrent PCoIP connections used (minimum 5). Another way to think about it is you pay for the connection, not the software. The brilliant part of this model (at least we think so ) is that everything is included – the agents, clients, management tools, support, and the kitchen sink (joking, no kitchen sinks are shipped when you purchase a subscription from Teradici). But here is what you do get:
Your subscription includes...
