Zero Clients and Thin Clients
ClearCube PCoIP
®
zero clients and thin clients connect to PC blades over a standard
Ethernet network. The Clients deliver video and peripheral signals to a local user from
a centralized PC blade, just like the C/Port. However, the key difference is that the
client connection (depending on the model) uses PCoIP protocol, Ethernet protocol, or
both, allowing it to work over standard switched networks. Therefore, ClearCube
clients do not require a point-to-point connection to a blade (no homerun cabling
needed).
ClearCube clients enable IT managers to use their existing IP network and cabling
infrastructure regardless of the distance between users' desktops and their centralized
PC blades.
