This paper highlights;

  • Optimizations to the View PCoIP protocol that deliver bandwidth savings of up to 75% and improved consolidation ratios of up to 30%
  • Optimizations to VMware vSphere 5 that benefit VDI deployments
  • Performance comparisons with View 4.5, Microsoft RDP and Citrix XenDesktop
  • Best practices & tunables on the platform, guest, PCoIP protocol & network, illustrating how users can optimally configure their View deployments
