As part of the VMware vClient initiative, VMware has announced a strategic partnership with Teradici to include Teradici's PC-Over-IP technology as part of VMware View.

VMware will license the Teradici PC-Over-IP display protocol and will work with Teradici to co-develop and expand PC-Over-IP.


The PC-Over-IP display protocol is breakthrough technology that truly delivers a PC experiance unlike any legacy protocol available today. Unlike traditional server based computing display protocols, PC-Over-IP was designed from the ground up to deliver a PC like experiance delivering capabilities that have challenged legacy display protocols for over a decade.


By working together, VMware and Teradici can deliver an uncompressed remote desktop experience over existing standard local area networks as well as high-latency wide area networks, and provide both integrated software and hardware implementations of Teradici's PC-over-IP solution.


This joint effort will enable IT organizations to include a broader set of use cases with their current desktop efforts using a single solution.


In effort to provide continued support for customer choice and heterogenous VMware View based solution offerings, VMware View and VMware, will also continue to support and collaborate with partners that offer alternative display protocol solutions such as HP - RGS, Microsoft - RDP, Sun Microsystems - Sun Ray and Panologic.

Today we have several exciting announcements surrounding VMware VDI. The first announcement sets the stage to broaden the VMware VDI ecosystem as we launch a thin client certification program for thin client manufactures wanting to integrate with VMware technologies. Though this program we will be abel to work more closely with thin client manufactures and integrate feature functionality at the client device level that offers an even more complete and integrated solution for customers looking to deploy VMware VDI.

This program has been in the works for some time with a primary goal to increase the value for our joint customers while at the same time simplifying the integration of a wide array of thin clients so customers have a more broad choice when making a client decision for their VMware VDI deployments. The thin client space is very broad offering a wide array of device types such as CE, XPe, Linux, ThinOS, Ultra Thin and Zero Client based devices. This program will allow thin client vendors from across the spectrum to offer a tightly integrated, tested and certified solution.

Chip PC, Computer Lab International (CLI), Devon IT, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, HP, IGEL, NEC, Pano Logic, Praim by CompuMaster, Sun Microsystems, and Wyse are among the thin client vendors who will be certifying their clients as part of the new program.

One of the key components of the program allows us to accommodate the growing trend and move towards zero or ultra thin based clients. Typically these clients that have and an extremely small firmware or embedded OS and software or additional client connectivity is not installed locally. By taking an open approach and working closely with vendors in this space, customers will be able to choose clients devices that offer unique features that are only supported with a VMware VDI solution today and not integrated or tested with other VDI based solutions.
