• QoS/CoS– Use sub-classification where possible

• Congestion Control – WRED vs. Tail Drop

• Minimize Latency– Avoid deep buffers– Minimize routing/hops– Avoid in-line IDS/IPS

• Beware of burstable circuits (CIR)

“The PCoIP Hardware Accelerator reduces CPU overhead by offloading the most active 100 virtual displays.”

Not a GPU!

(Teradici Apex 2800)• It Does NOT Reduce Bandwidth!!!

3D Graphics

CONFIDENTIAL 31

• High Fidelity Graphics

• High Resolution Displays

• Multi-monitor 3D applications (CAD, Medical Imaging etc)

This is a GPU!(Nvidia K2 GPU)

• Google ‘Horizon View 6 Graphics’

Improving Video Performance in Browsers

• Browsers think a GPU is present and use an inefficient API

• Chrome, FireFox, and Internet Explorer all have options to disable this capability which is enabled by default in all the recent versions

Disabling “hardware acceleration” can easily double performance

Common optimization profiles

1. Best non-accelerated graphics experience – original default settings

2. Standard experience – new Horizon 6 defaults

3. Bandwidth-optimized experience – recommended for WAN scenarios

4. Bandwidth-constrained experience – maximum sessions per constrained link

> Profiles 3 & 4 should also include standard Windows & application optimizations
