Technology on Enterprise Networks
Network Considerations for Large-scale Deployment
®
PC-over-IP (PCoIP
) technology is an innovative technology that solves remoting issues such as poor
responsiveness, lack of media or graphics support, OS image management challenges and peripheral
interoperability. PC-over-IP technology will change the desktop computing model by enabling desktop
consolidation benefits to be realized throughout the enterprise.
Teradici has developed breakthrough innovations in computer display, USB, and audio remoting to deliver a
true PC experience over standard IP networks from the datacenter to the user's desk. As such, PCoIP
technology enables a rich user experience not found in other remoting solutions or traditional thin clients. As
with any desktop consolidation solution, PCoIP technology is dependent upon the network performance
between the user and the centralized host computer. Unlike other solutions, however, Teradici's PCoIP
technology has been architected to optimize the transfer of user interface data and enables the full-fidelity user
experience that users have come to expect from traditional desktop PCs. Incorporated within this technology
are algorithms which dynamically adapt the levels of compression to maximize the user experience. These and
other advanced features simplify the roll-out and management of PCoIP systems, whether small installations or
large scale enterprise-wide deployment scenarios.
This paper introduces PCoIP technology and discusses LAN and campus network considerations for enabling
large scale desktop consolidation while maintaining a true PC experience for users.

  • Page 3: Pcoip Technology: A New Beginning For The Personal Computer

    PCoIP Technology: A New Beginning for the Personal Computer System Overview To create a PCoIP system, Teradici provides a two-chip solution that delivers the user’s desktop over a standard IP network. The PCoIP Host Processor is used in the centralized host PC or workstation, while the PCoIP Portal Processor is used in a small, stateless desktop “portal”...
  • Page 4: Pcoip Portal Processor

    The PCoIP Host Processor also adapts its traffic profile to fluctuations in available network resources – a key feature in large-scale PCoIP system deployments where high utilization and fair distribution of available network bandwidth is very important. The PCoIP Host Processor does not load the host PC in any way. The independent PCoIP Host Processor performs all the encoding and communication operations, freeing the host PC resources to perform the application and image rendering at full speed.
  • Page 5: Network Considerations

    Network Considerations In a PCoIP system, only the display and peripheral data leaves the corporate datacenter to the local user network. This changes the resource profile required compared to the traditional model of PCs and workstations located at the user’s desk. PCoIP Technology Networking Capability Summary: •...
  • Page 6: Pcoip Network Traffic

    The PCoIP Host Processor and PCoIP Portal Processor both generate network traffic between the centralized datacenter and the user desktop. To ensure desktop responsiveness, this process of compression, transmission, and rebuilding the desktop occurs in a very short time, typically less than 10ms. PCoIP Network Traffic PCoIP network traffic contains traffic for image data, USB and HD audio peripheral bridging, and system management.
  • Page 7: Segment The User Base

    Network Capacity – is the capacity of the network to forward packets, described in bits per second. Networks may have any number of capacity constrictions, including link-rates between switches, or internal switching limits of the switches themselves. This term is used in this document to describe the ability of the network to forward network data relative to the link planning bandwidth.

    Determine Per-User Planning Bandwidth Use the table below to determine the planning bandwidth per user. If a user has more than one display, use the column for the largest display.

  • Page 11: Off-Campus Network Considerations

    Off-Campus Network Considerations In an off-campus remoting environment (WAN or MAN), IT administrators will encounter a number of items which need special attention. These include: • restricted bandwidth environments • network latency • firewalls and virtual private networks (VPN’s) Restricted Bandwidth Environments In cases where the planning bandwidth is not available, the IT administrator needs to make tradeoffs to achieve the optimal experience.
  • Page 12: Firewall Considerations

    Firewall Considerations For PC-over-IP traffic to pass through a firewall, the firewall must be configured to support IPSEC traffic and also have the ports in Table 4 opened.
