![]() VMware View 5.0, the software maker's recent version of its client virtualization product, features new PCoIP optimization controls. "The user experience was good, but it was a bandwidth hog," says Laura Hansen-Kohls, a senior research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group. One issue for PCoIP has been bandwidth utilization. ![]() Several months ago, Samsung added the NS190 and NS220 Thin Client monitors and the NS240 Cloud Display monitor to its zero client lineup. ![]() Some of the more recent zero client products consolidate the display and PCoIP chip into one device, such as Samsung's 23.6-inch NC240 and 19-inch NC190-1 PCoIP monitors, as well as LG's 19-inch and 22-inch Zero Client monitors. ![]() The zero client approach offers many benefits to the IT department, including reduced desktop maintenance, better security and power savings. No client computing has to occur on the device it just receives and decodes host-rendered pixels. PCoIP's broadcasting of only encrypted pixels (not data) across any standard IP network lets IT departments deploy zero clients free of standard CPUs, RAM, disks, fans and application operating systems. Technology company Teradici started one major innovation when it created its PC-over-IP protocol. IT departments are interested in centralized desktop management, but they are leery of issues such as application performance degradation or incompatibilities and less-than-rich computing experiences. The popularity of virtual desktops has been slowly rising over the past few years.
