PCoIP technology innovations Image encoding optimised for remoting rich desktops

Host rendered pixel encoding

All pixels are host rendered and encoded in the data centre

Encoded pixels are broadcast to simple, decode-only devices

Host rendering advantages:

Complete independence from network latency

No application dependencies – future applications will just work

Application performance is not impacted

PCoIP technology innovations Dynamic network adaptation delivers the best experience over any network

Image quality dynamically adjusts to available bandwidth

Responsiveness maintained during network congestion

Uses less bandwidth on constrained networks

Latency and bandwidth requirements

1Mbs peak bandwidth today, <150Kbs peak later this year

Average bandwidths well below peaks

Network latency up to 150ms today, 250ms later this year

No Windows or Linux OS

No “second Tuesday” OS patches

No anti-virus, anti-spyware, …

No device drivers

Investment protection

Data centre determines performance

No CPU, flash or memory limitations

Longer life cycle than Thin Clients

No hard drive or fan

Low power and heat

Superior USB authorisation

RDP and PCoIP protocol
