You may have already read about an issue where upgrading your ESX 4.0 host  breaks connections to hosted virtual desktops with the PCoIP protocol. This issue only occurs when you’re using ESX 4.0 with VMWare View 4.0 and you’ve upgraded the host to Update 2. VMware released a permanent fix for that.

Update: I want to clarify that I of course know that network connections all over the world are different in speed, latency and packet loss. My video only shows that my ad-hoc connection from Europe to the West Coast just works well and the video/website mentioned in this article could give the readers/watchers/listeners are wrong [...]

Teradici, the leader in delivering true PC experience over IP networks announced the availability of the Teradici PCoIP Management Console, a software that enables administrators to manage an entire enterprise deployment of PCoIP devices from a central point. The new console allows configuration and monitoring of PCoIP based zero client devices and host devices.

I found a great read over at Brian Madden’s blog today. The article is about an email between Gabe Knuth and Warren Ponder at VMware + Randy Groves, CTO of Teradici. Gabe asked some questions about the process how PCoIP software works with the hardware version in regards to the GDI primitives, rendering and so [...]

Teradici published a new web site which gives you an overview of all Teradici PCoIP zero clients and their compatibility to VMware View 4 with software PCoIP.

Have a customer that is implementing View4 with PCoIP and dual screens. They are very happy with the solution except for one thing, performance of Oracle Forms was bad, there was some extra latency when typing and moving between different input fields and they suspected PCoIP and asked if there where some settings to tweak. [...]

VMGuru.nl published a new article on sizing a VMware View infrastructure. He talks about CPU, memory, storage and also network recommendations.

A few folks have run into issues with View 4 where PCoIP doesn’t work exactly as they expect. This manifests itself in a couple of different ways: – Inability to resize the screen at all – Resizing that only works down instead of up. – Resizing that responds very slowly or that crashes after several [...]

Today Teradici officially announced the interoperability of PCoIP hardware zero clients with VMware View 4. They released the new firmware version 3.0 which can connect the TERA1100 PCoIP processor based thin clients to VMware’s enterprise class desktop virtualization solution to support any type of user.

View 4 with PCoIP does support 4 screens with a maximum resolution of 1920×1200 per monitor. Mostly I see customers with the requirement for two screens and very often they are asking for the Pivot function where you can flip the screen from T-scale to L-shape like shown in the photo.
