The Benefits of Remoting… Finally Realized
Enhanced security. Reduced management costs. Effective collaboration. Remote access. A quieter, less cluttered workspace. Space, electricity and cooling savings.

Every company has its own reasons for deploying remote desktops, but until now all have suffered the same drawbacks: a frustrating user experience; long response times; poor graphics; desktop management headaches. Until now…

The PC-over-IP (PCoIP®) Remote Desktop Add-In Solution delivers a user’s desktop from a centralized host PC with an uncompromised end-user experience over standard IP networks. With full-frame-rate dual-DVI video, full-duplex high-definition audio and transparent USB support, even the most demanding user won’t be able to tell that the computer isn’t under the desk regardless of the application or graphics.

Two components deliver this flawless experience. In the host PC, a PCoIP Host Card encodes the entire user experience and transmits it "pixels-only" over the IP network. On the desktop, the PCoIP Portal presents the experience and provides full peripheral connectivity through two DVI-I video outputs, four USB ports and headphone, speaker and microphone jacks.

Together, they provide graphics performance, responsiveness, security and peripheral support previously impossible with remote solutions.

Enhanced Security, Minimal Management
PCoIP eliminates the management complexities and overhead of traditional thin clients. The Desktop Portal has no CPU, operating system, drivers, fan or any other elements that make traditional thin clients difficult to manage. You never have to worry about OS patches, driver updates, viruses, spyware, hacking or fan failures on the desktops.

PCoIP’s USB security enables IT staff to control exactly which peripherals users can connect, thereby preventing unauthorized devices and data copying. Unauthorized devices are suppressed by the portal right at the desktop; the host PC never even knows they were plugged in. All USB connection attempts, whether authorized or suppressed, are logged.

On the host PC, all remote processing is performed entirely by the PCoIP card with no additional load on the host CPU – so your host PC can devote all of its power to running applications. This means your applications continue running as quickly as ever and you won’t have to upgrade your machines to accommodate the remoting itself.

The PCoIP Remote Desktop Solution delivers the efficiency, security and cost savings of centralized computing without compromising your users’ desktop experience.

Fits Virtually Any Server, Any Application, Any Environment
The PCoIP Remote Desktop System can be added to any server equipped with a DVI video card and an open PCI-Express slot. The Desktop Portal can be used with any standard monitors (DVI or VGA with an adapter) and USB keyboard, mouse and peripherals. Both host card and portal connect to a standard 10/100/1000 Mbit IP network via RJ45 Ethernet connector.
