WAN accelerator for VMware View 4

[dingding]

is there any recommended WAN accelerator for VMware View 4, does vmware has a certified list for view 4? or if you have already use some WAN accelerator and the effect is good, please tell me.

You can start from this document (for RDP sessions):

http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/view_wan_reference_architecture.pdf

And then check each product to see if it support View 4.

But if you plan to use PCoIP (over VPN) I think that you will not need any WAN accelator.

Expand claims to have support for View 4:

Have not tried it myself yet...

However:

With RDP a WAN accelerator can have great benefits but be aware that you have to turn off all type of encryption.

With PCoIP a WAN accelerator will have very small benefit since it is encrypted end-to-end and there is no way (today) to turn off that encryption.
