PCoIP Ultra: BrianMadden.com Weighs In

Rachel Berry, a long-standing member and expert in the end-user computing (EUC) community, wrote a candid article examining the PCoIP protocol, its latest “Ultra” enhancements, and why comparisons with other protocols should be approached with caution.

What makes this a must-read

Anyone from novice to experienced users of virtualization technologies can benefit from this educational read. Understanding the value of the PCoIP protocol means knowing its history, evolution, design intentions, and intertwining with industry partners.  Rachel Berry steps through these facts to help clarify the position of PCoIP in the market and make obvious its striking differences from other protocols.

It’s this knowledge that will help reveal how comparisons between protocols are often “fatally flawed and misleading simply due to how their protocols work and how they are designed to be configured or integrated.”

Like comparing trucks with sedans, protocols are purposefully-designed to serve varying workstations, applications, and end-users. In this case, PCoIP technology integrated in Teradici Cloud Access Software leads the way in enabling secure, high-fidelity computing experiences required in industries like engineering, finance, manufacturing, and media and entertainment.

Teradici unveiled "PCoIP Ultra." How is it different from PCoIP and where does it fit in the market?

Teradici recently introduced a new refreshed version of their PCoIP protocol, called "PCoIP Ultra." This occupies a distinct place in the protocol market, but to understand the whole story, first, I'm going to cover a bit of the background for those who may not be aware.

With that said, this background story leads to a discussion of the future of PCoIP technology and how Teradici is investing in the protocol’s capabilities to adapt to changing market needs. Rachel explains the benefits of the recent PCoIP Ultra protocol enhancements and nicely addresses answers to common FAQs like why PCoIP Ultra is supporting third-party codecs and how these technologies tag-team behind the scenes.

There are many more key points in the article that will deliver an in-depth understanding of why customers choose PCoIP technology. We hope readers will find it insightful.
