Teradici Announces General Availability of New PCoIP Hardware Accelerator (APEX 2800) Tested & Certified on HP ProLiant Gen8 Blade Servers

Melbourne, November 8^th, 2013 – Teradici, the developer of the PCoIP^® protocol, today announced  that as VDI takes hold and to meet requests they have added general availability of the Teradici PCoIP® Hardware Accelerator for HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) Blade Servers to their range.  Tested and certified for ProLiant BL460c Gen8 and WS460c Gen8 Blade Servers, the hardware accelerator is available now through TrackITOnline – www.trackitonline.com.au

With today’s news, Teradici and HP are bringing the benefits of PCoIP hardware acceleration to a broader base of end users in virtualised computing environments. The PCoIP Hardware Accelerator for HP ProLiant Gen8 Blade Servers reduces server CPU utilisation and complements physical GPU support in VMware Horizon View deployments to deliver a robust virtual computing experience to users of the most demanding, graphically-intensive applications.

“Users have come to expect uncompromised access to media-rich content and high-end graphics applications, even at peak usage times on virtual desktops,” said Olivier Favre, director of product management, Teradici. “With the new Hardware Accelerator for HP ProLiant Gen8 Blade Servers, corporate IT managers can cost-effectively maximise the number of virtual machines placed on HP blade servers with VMware Horizon View, while ensuring a consistent, high-performance computing experience across all users, at all times and regardless of task or activity level.”

“Today’s design firms, film studios, architectural practices and related businesses are demanding the same rich graphics experience they’re accustomed to with dedicated desktop workstations,” said Dr.  Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research. “When paired with a physical GPU, Teradici’s PCoIP Hardware Accelerator offloads screen compression cycles from the CPU to ensure uncompromised visual computing performance in virtualised environments. With today’s announcement, Teradici is addressing pent-up demand for a solution that fulfills this need, specifically for HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 and WS460c Gen8 Blade Servers.”

The Teradici PCoIP Hardware Accelerator (APEX 2800) dramatically increases the frames per second delivered to the zero client, by up to 100 percent, when coupled with a physical GPU. Since its introduction in February 2012, the hardware accelerator product line has been broadly adopted in a variety of VDI environments in which high quality graphical performance is paramount.
