I wish we could have ICA :) I suspect that have decided that PCoIP is fine internally and forgotten that a lot of us work off site :(
Cheers, Matt (who is off home to a suitably laggy connection tomorrow!) From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 20 June 2011 16:27 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: PCoIP via a DirectAccess connection Get them to implement Citrix ICA :-) PCoIP performed terribly for us remotely (although that was a couple of years ago) On 20 June 2011 16:23, Matthew B Ames <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The company I work for has started rolling out W7 machines, and we are using DA for our remote connectivity, which as a general rule seems to be doing exactly what it says on the tin (and it does it pretty well). However I also use PCoIP to connect to a VDI environment for a network of a more classified nature, and performance for this - even for screen updates (typing into Notepad, etc) is pretty terrible. Rather than getting too into the depths of this (as I am just a user, so I can't comment on any network specific settings), I am just wondering if other people have implemented this and how it fairs for users at home (ADSL connections, in my case I am syncing around 15meg down, .6 up). I have tried switching my connectivity between PCoIP and RDP and I have found virtually no difference. As a sanity check, I have tried using my old laptop connecting back into the same network via X-Kryptor and performance is far superior when I launch a remote desktop session (I have tried remote desktop connections via the PCoIP connection). Therefore I am basically ruling out my connectivity at home from being part of the problem. I am a pilot on this system, so it is unlikely that internet connectivity at the company end is saturated.
