Task 14 WAN Optimization

PCoIP technology uses low-latency image compression algorithms to optimize the user experience or widearea network (WAN) applications The WAN enhancements dramatically improve the user experience toprovide support or multi-media and 3D graphics audio and IO responsiveness over long-distancehigh-latency and low-bandwidth networks

Key PCoIP WAN Capabilities

bull Reduced Minimum Bandwidth To support the lower bandwidth typically available over a WAN theminimum peak bandwidth required or a PCoIP connection is Mbps Because PCoIP only transmitschanges to the desktop image the actual bandwidth used may be much lower i the screen is not changingsigni cantly or rapidly

bull Local Keyboard and Mouse To provide instant response over high-latency networks the mouse pointer canbe displayed locally on the desktop (within VMware View Agent) in addition to being sent to the host Localkeyboard capability is also provided to prevent lost keystrokes due to network delay

bull Packet Reordering To accommodate the out-o -order packets o ten produced by network links on a WANthe PCoIP portal in VMware View Agent can create multiple packet chains as out-o -order packets receivedand connect chains to restore the correct sequence Without this out-o -order packets can result in dataretransmission and delays

bull Bandwidth-Sensitive Audio Compression PCoIP transmits compressed or uncompressed audiondashswitchingdynamically based on the available bandwidth to provide the best possible user experience

Since PCoIP is integrated seamlessly into the VMware View Agent and ully optimized into VMware Viewin rastructure as the administrator you simply need to con gure the desktop protocol and its bandwidththrottling rom the administration UI

Scenario 1Provision and Use PCoIP Desktops and Pools

Get Started with PCoIPPCoIP is a so tware-to-so tware display protocol ully integrated with the VMware View in rastructureThe PCoIP portal (server) is installed with the agent The proprietary SVGA driver is included as part o thePCoIP portal

Figure

The PCoIP client is included in the standard VMware View client installation on your end point device sothere are no additional installation procedures required or PCoIP From the end user perspective there areno con gurations needed or using PCoIP As an administrator you can con gure the PCoIP protocol throughVMware View Administrative SettingsPolicies De ault RDP setup is to be tunneled but the de ault PCoIPsetting is directly connected Some other con gurations on bandwidth throttling or Flash video or on USBredirection policy are consistent as the previous View administration

Lossy and Lossless CompressionImage compression in PCoIP includes both lossless and lossy compression schemes Lossy compression allows or higher levels o compression on initial screen change and subsequent image quality improvement

or static screen regions Lossless motion compensation is also supported Image compression bandwidthmanagement is supported using packet loss as an indicator o congestion or lower bandwidth limits

enables users con guring certain clients to go through a particular Connection Server In this case a tag isintroduced to identi y and route the client to the Connection Server In a broker cluster at a large VMware Viedeployment The tag or tags o a Connection Server are then compared to the tag speci ed in time o thedesktop pool creation edit

I the tag required by the desktop pool does not match the tag o the broker in question even i a useris entitled or assigned to a desktop pool the desktop will not show up in the available desktop list TheConnection Server tags take precedence over the desktop or pool tags

In this evaluation you will set up two instances o Connection Servers where brokers have been classi ed toserve di erent networks (internal external or example)

Use CaseThe internal broker might not be visible to users connecting over a VPN In a case like this the two brokerscould still be ormed into a cluster The external broker might be tagged ldquoExternalrdquo and the internal brokertagged ldquoInternalrdquo and then pools could be tagged so that some desktops are not visible when a user logs inexternally but are visible internally
