VMware CTO Confirms Expand Networks Support for VMview 4.0

Scott Davis, chief technology officer, Desktop Business Unit, VMware, explains, “Expand’s multi-facetted technology helps enable all remote desktop protocols to be delivered over the WAN in a VMware View™ environment, improving communication efficiency, quality of service and security for customers with virtual desktop WAN deployments. Expand provides unique technology – such as its ability to work with the UDP transport protocol to support PCoIP with secure tunneling – that helps customers protect their virtualization investments while facilitating growth and longevity of their virtual desktop deployments.” The benefits that  Expand’s solution brings to VMware View include support for:

Teradici PCoIP

•  Securely enable transport of PCoIP within standard or advanced tunneling options (Advanced Encryption Standard (AES256), Firewall Transparency and Router Transparency Modes) eliminating the potential need to reconfigure firewalls
•  Apply QoS to control PCoIP traffic flow and assure end-user experience
Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) & SUN Ray Appliance Link Protocol (ALP)
•  Compression and byte-level caching techniques enable up to 10 x more users on the network and eliminate the need for bandwidth upgrades.
•  Layer 7 Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement for RDP/ALP, and within RDP, provides monitoring and control at the channel layer to help ensure VMware View desktops run unimpeded over the WAN.
•  TCP acceleration mitigates latency and delivers a quality & guaranteed desktop experience for the remote user.

VMware ThinApp™

•   Prioritize VMware ThinApp traffic over the WAN using QoS techniques
Multimedia Redirect
•  Multimedia traffic that is redirected can be compressed, accelerated and prioritized with QoS
•  Ensure that video or voice traffic gains the priority and bandwidth it requires over the WAN

USB Redirect  

•  Accelerate, compress and control redirected USB-connected device traffic with QoS
