VMware View Client uses PCoIP; please network admins read the PCoIP checklist!
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/02/24
Somehow, I have the impression that not all VMware View Client network admins fully read and understand the “PCoIP Protocol Virtual Desktop Network Design Checklist”
That checklist is important, as it is easy to get things wrong and dissatisfy your users without reason (heck, they get worse than mediocre RDP performance experience, so you could’ve saved you the work of PCoIP in the first place).
So please do read the “PCoIP Protocol Virtual Desktop Network Design Checklist“.
It starts with
The PCoIP protocol provides a real-time delivery of a rich user desktop experience in virtual desktop and remote workstation environments.
To ensure a responsive desktop, the PCoIP protocol must be deployed across a properly architected virtual desktop network infrastructure that meets bandwidth, QoS, latency, jitter, and packet loss requirements.
CheckPoint VPN sometimes can be a dork combined with PCoIP. and at least make sure UDP works well over your VPN.

(Some more backgorund reading and even more)
(fixed typo: one of the PCoIP occurances was PCiOP, luckily, Google knows better :)
