The PCoIP protocol cluttered work area, and savings in space, reduces the amount of data being transmitted electricity and cooling. Traditionally though, by sending only the pixels that change and remoting has not been a practical reality for compressing them so the overall network businesses needing to use graphics-intensive payload is vastly smaller. This means users applications because it involves sending can experience native performance and vast amounts of data over the network. This responsiveness – even from heavy 3D clogs up the network, particularly over long graphics applications – while the business distances where a wide area network (WAN) as a whole can enjoy the usual security and is used, and effectively renders the application support benefits associated with remote unusable as latency increases and images solutions. render too slowly. PCoIP technology allows enterprise PCs and workstations to be centrally managed in a data center while providing high resolution full frame rate 3D graphics and HD media. On the host PC, all remote encoding and compression are performed entirely by the PCoIP host card with no additional load on the host CPU. This means the host PC can devote all of its Parallels, the leader in desktop processing power to running applications virtualization, now supports the as quickly as ever, without the need to direct assignment of PCoIP upgrade machines to accommodate the Host Card in virtual machines. remoting technology itself. This means that a single workstation can now support The performance of graphics-intensive multiple users (2 to 3), as each applications is further enhanced by support virtual machine has its own for full frame rate dual-DVI video, bi-directional dedicated graphics, PCoIP stereo audio and full USB peripheral zero client (including USB and interoperability, creating a user experience Audio), and network adapter. comparable to having a workstation under the desk.
