Give PCoIP a Chance!
CONFIDENTIAL 21
• QoS/CoS – Use sub-classification where possible
• Congestion Control – WRED vs. Tail Drop • Minimize Latency
– Avoid deep buffers – Minimize routing/hops – Avoid in-line IDS/IPS
• Beware of burstable circuits (CIR)
• Google ‘PCoIP Network Optimization’

“The PCoIP Hardware Accelerator reduces CPU overhead by offloading the most active 100 virtual displays.”
Not a GPU!
(Teradici Apex 2800) • It Does NOT Reduce Bandwidth!!!
3D Graphics
CONFIDENTIAL 29
• High Fidelity Graphics • High Resolution Displays
• Multi-monitor 3D applications (CAD, Medical Imaging etc)
This is a GPU! (Nvidia K2 GPU)
vSGA Multiple VM’s per GPU
vDGA One VM per GPU
• Google ‘Horizon View 6 Graphics’
Improving Video Performance in Browsers
• Browsers think a GPU is present and use an inefficient API • Chrome, FireFox, and Internet Explorer all have options to disable this capability which is
enabled by default in all the recent versions

Disabling “hardware acceleration” can easily double performance

Common optimization profiles
1. Best non-accelerated graphics experience – original default settings
2. Standard experience – new Horizon 6 defaults
3. Bandwidth-optimized experience – recommended for WAN scenarios
4. Bandwidth-constrained experience – maximum sessions per constrained link
> Profiles 3 & 4 should also include standard Windows & application optimizations
