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.

Determine the Link Planning Bandwidth

Conservatively, the network should be sized such that, when all users are active, each PCoIP connection is
able to achieve the planning bandwidth allocated for each user. The planning bandwidth is the measure of the
minimum quality a user will accept and feel they are receiving a true PC experience. For each link in the
network, the network capacity required for a PCoIP implementation is calculated by summing the planning
bandwidths of all the users sharing that network link, and adding 10% to allow for variations in the traffic profile
and to ensure fair sharing of the network resources across multiple PCoIP Host/Portal pairs.

Set the Device Bandwidth Target

The Teradici PCoIP system provides an optional Device Bandwidth Target parameter to enable fair bandwidth
sharing between many users sharing a constricted link. It is recommended to set the Device Bandwidth Target
parameter on the PCoIP host to the planning bandwidth for the user.

Example Deployment Scenario

The following example deployment scenario illustrates the ability to fit Teradici's PCoIP technology within
existing enterprise network infrastructure. Specifically, this example walks through the deployment of 190 users
that are segmented into 48 task workers, 120 knowledge workers and 10 performance users within an existing
switched enterprise network.

The task worker planning bandwidth estimates, in contrast to the estimates for the other user categories, do not include an
allocation for audio streams. If the IT administrator determines audio allocation is required for task workers, increase the task worker
planning bandwidth by 0.85Mbps.
