Nerdio has partnered with Teradici to enable PCoIP® in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 deployments, extending Microsoft’s flexible Azure VDI platform with the performance and security of Teradici PCoIP® display protocol.
About Teradici
Teradici is the creator of the PCoIP® remoting protocol technology and Cloud Access Software. The company’s core mission is seamless and secure delivery of workstations and applications for end-users. Teradici PCoIP® technology and Cloud Access Software offer the most secure remoting solutions for public, private, and multi-cloud environments, enabling visualization of even the most graphics-intensive applications.
Why PCoIP®?
PC-over-IP (PCoIP®) technology delivers a secure, high-definition and highly responsive computing experience. It uses advanced display compression to provide end users with on-premises or cloud-based virtual machines as a convenient alternative to local computers. This virtual workspace architecture compresses, encrypts, and transmits only pixels to a broad range of software clients, mobile clients, thin clients and stateless PCoIP® Zero Clients, providing a highly secure enterprise environment.
From a user’s perspective, there is no difference between working with a local computer loaded with software and an endpoint receiving a streamed pixel representation from a centralized virtual computer.
Security
Because the PCoIP® protocol transfers only display information in the form of pixels, no business information ever leaves your cloud or data center.
Nerdio Manager extends Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) with PCoIP® display protocol.
How it works:
Deploys and configures CAS Connector VM
Creates workstation pools (persistent or floating*) that correspond to AVD host pools where PCoIP® is enabled
Installs PCoIP® agent during AVD session host creation and registers remote workstation
Deletes remote workstation when AVD session host is removed
Synchronizes user-to-workstation assignments between Teradici and AVD
