Sometimes there are no adjectives to adequately describe a piece of software. In times like these, one has to take literary license and resort to things like, “This rates super high on the kickass index”. Yeah. Check this video out and you’ll know what we mean.
If you’re thinking about deploying virtual desktops or have another centralized or remote computing project in mind you probably have a checklist that looks similar to the following:
My VDI protocol wishlist
1) Inexpensive
2) Simple -- shouldn’t drag a TON of unnecessary “infrastructure” software just to enable remoting
3) Should have excellent performance; glorious full motion, full screen HD videos and more!
4) Multimonitor capabilities. Why should my VDI users suffer with less real estate?
5) Should be compatible with all major Hypervisors, since I don’t want to be locked into a single vendor!!!
6) Should be compatible with any x86 Thinclient, any Blade, Server or whitebox. Don’t tell me I need to buy a specific brand of hardware!!
7) Should provide access to remote VMs but should also be able to remote out a physical system on a 1:1 basis
Should be configurable so I can optimize the performance to my network
9) Should have WAN optimization features like local pointers etc.
10) Shouldn’t just be a multimedia redirection “hack”. I want TRUE codec-independent experience acceleration for all my apps. CAD. Google Earth. Animations. Everything!!!
Now, hypothetically, if you were evaluating VideoOverIP the list above would have a check mark or “HELL YES!!!” written next to every bullet. If you would like to fill your wishlist with ten HELL YESses, please get in touch with VDIworks. We can arrange that!
