VMware CTO Confirms Expand Networks Support for VMview 4.0
December 7, 2009
Scott Davis, chief technology officer, Desktop Business Unit, VMware, explains, "Expand’s multi-facetted technology helps enable all remote desktop protocols to be delivered over the WAN in a VMware View™ environment, improving communication efficiency, quality of service and security for customers with virtual desktop WAN deployments. Expand provides unique technology – such as its ability to work with the UDP transport protocol to support PCoIP with secure tunneling – that helps customers protect their virtualization investments while facilitating growth and longevity of their virtual desktop deployments." The benefits that Expand’s solution brings to VMware View include support for:
Teradici PCoIP
- Securely enable transport of PCoIP within standard or advanced tunneling options (Advanced Encryption Standard (AES256), Firewall Transparency and Router Transparency Modes) eliminating the potential need to reconfigure firewalls
- Apply QoS to control PCoIP traffic flow and assure end-user experience
Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) & SUN Ray Appliance Link Protocol (ALP)
- Compression and byte-level caching techniques enable up to 10 x more users on the network and eliminate the need for bandwidth upgrades.
- Layer 7 Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement for RDP/ALP, and within RDP, provides monitoring and control at the channel layer to help ensure VMware View desktops run unimpeded over the WAN.
- TCP acceleration mitigates latency and delivers a quality & guaranteed desktop experience for the remote user.
VMware ThinApp™
- Prioritize VMware ThinApp traffic over the WAN using QoS techniques
Multimedia Redirect
- Multimedia traffic that is redirected can be compressed, accelerated and prioritized with QoS
- Ensure that video or voice traffic gains the priority and bandwidth it requires over the WAN
USB Redirect
- Accelerate, compress and control redirected USB-connected device traffic with QoS
