Interesting!
So in order to support multiple backends VDI would need to support PCoIP
(Vmware), Spice (Redhat), ICA (Citrix) and now Remote FX alongside the
current MMR enhancements.
hmm, it does not look like this is becoming easier....

Hello,
I saw today that Microsoft has now announced RemoteFX which will add
functionality to RDP including better performance for video.
For now RemoteFX appears to only be server side technology (available
in a upcoming Windows 2008 R2 SP1) for use with Terminal Server
connections. It looks like Windows 7 support might be a bit down the road.
I also saw that Microsoft has listed a number of partners which are
working on supporting RemoteFX but Oracle was not listed. From what I
have read on RemoteFX everyone is pushing it for video performance on
Thin Clients. I am just wondering if Oracle/Sun looked into RemoteFX
and what are the chances that it might be supported in future SunRay
releases?
Here is a list of vendors working with RemoteFX:
The following hardware and software companies, among others, have
engaged with us as RemoteFX partners with the goal to build a
formidable ecosystem of first-class user experience solutions: AMD,
AppliedMicro, Citrix, Cloudium Systems, Dell, DevonIT, HP, Nvidia,
Quest, Texas Instruments, ThinLinx, Via, Wondermedia and Wyse.
Here is some info on RemoteFX:
Just to be clear, RemoteFX is not a new standalone product from
Microsoft. Rather, it describes a set of RDP technologies - most
prominently graphics virtualization and the use of advanced codes -
that are being added to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1; these
technologies are based on the IP that Microsoft acquired and continued
to develop since acquiring Calista Technologies. So think of Microsoft
RemoteFX as the ‘special sauce’ in Remote Desktop Services that users
will be able to enjoy when they connect to their virtual and
session-based desktops and applications over the network. With
Microsoft RemoteFX, users will be able to work remotely in a Windows
Aero desktop environment, watch full-motion video, enjoy Silverlight
animations, and run 3D applications – all with the fidelity of a
local-like performance when connecting over the LAN. Their desktops
are actually hosted in the data center as part of a virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI) or a session virtualization environment (formerly
known as Terminal Services). With RemoteFX, these users will be able
to access their workspace via a standard RDP connection from a broad
range of client devices – rich PCs, thin clients and very simple,
low-cost devices.
Thanks
