PCoIP is by far the best proto, RDP failback is ok in a pinch for a misbehaving printer or 'carry my local folder share' option but w/ PCoIP you can actually do graphics intensive stuff and if you wanna game like BDS said throw a GRID GPU at it and vSVGA passthrough and get your gaming on! Been through the gauntlet of zero clients, soft clients, HTML5 based BLAST proto through web browser.all deliver a very good VDI experience w/ BLAST working in a pinch/kiosk/hotel scenario rather nicely. My wife/kids use it at home here as well on Wyse P20/P25's and Samsung NC240's. Lots of lessons learned on the tuning/optimizing part to really scale the stack but PCoIP in and of itself is fairly forgiving/rocks in low bandwidth/low latency situations. I help a buddy here in Colorado run a hosted VDI business out of a colo and we just peaked 200+ sessions across our first 4 node vSphere/Horizon cluster. I am late to the party but another solid vote for Zero client running PCoIP protocol. If you want to know anything from my experience, just let me know and I'll reply.īDS1904 and others have really hit it on the head. I am rushing this post as I am running late. I would like to try this soon though as I am interested in working on the road. I am not sure about with USB redirection and Skype. I have used PCoIP over and L2TP/IPSec 3G connection, and with the correct tuning of the protocol as mentioned in a previous post, it works very well. I did this on Friday and it took about half an hour to complete with testing. pem and import it into the device profile. You export the CA certificate in base64, rename the extension from. It is easy to install the root CA onto the zero clients, by the management console. I would also recommend installing your own PKI and sorting out the SSL certificates in Horizon. I recently upgraded to Horizon 6, and the slight improvements are worth the hassle. It is also required for hardware accelerated graphics. It is a very efficient protocol and handles multimedia very well. I have added an AMD FirePro W7000 to my server for vSGA and the improvement is huge vs software based rendering. It will make life so much easier as you add more devices.

I would highly recommend the use of the Teradici PCoIP Management Console as earlier mentioned, even if it is just for one zero client to start with. It can be powered by PoE like some of the other units and has two DVI ports. I have seven PCoIP virtual desktops, five are windows 7, one windows 8.1 and one windows 10.įor clients, I use the Tera2 based LG zero clients. I have a complete home combined home business setup meeting the description of the OP. I was doing some random searches for DIY PCoIP clients and landed here.
