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.

Yesterday Expand Networks announced immediate support for all VMware View 4 remote display protocols across Expand’s Accelerator range of WAN optimization solutions to securely enable, accelerate and control VMware View over the WAN. Expand’s benefit for Teradici PCoIP is the securely transport of PCoIP with standard or advanced tunneling options, eliminating the potential need of reconfiguring firewalls.

As Warren Ponder says on the VMware Community Blogs just in Christmas time there will be an updated version of the PCoIP zero client firmware that works with View 4 and PCoIP. For those of you who doesn’t know the story about Teradici and the hardware based solution you should definitely check Warren’s article. Also he posted a new video which shows the brilliant performance of PCoIP from a Teradici hardware zero client to a virtual machine hosted on VMware infrastructure.

Great demo of the upcoming PCoIP software protocol from Richard Garstagen. That stuff is awesome.

Teradici today announced the first multi-protocol hardware zero client solution for virtual desktops. This flexible client solution enables IT to deploy PCoIP clients across the enterprise and connect to a wide range of hosted compute resources including VMware View virtual desktops, rack, tower or blade graphics workstations via PCoIP protocol mode or Microsoft Windows Terminal Server sessions via RDP.
