Using PCoIP Host Cards with VMware View

WHITE PAPER / 3

Introduction

This document describes the use of PCoIP® host cards to remote demanding applications that require dedicated

graphics cards within an environment brokered by VMware® View™. It describes the setup and conﬁguration

of PCoIP host cards (or “host cards”) in physical PCs or workstations connecting to VMware View clients with

PCoIP, or PCoIP zero clients.

Overview

VMware View lets you set up PCoIP sessions between PCoIP clients and PCoIP host cards. Using a PCoIP

host card installed in a physical PC or workstation lets you remote higher-end 3D applications that use

dedicated GPUs.

This document describes how to set up a PCoIP session between a PCoIP zero client or VMware View client

with PCoIP (that is, a notebook or thin client running a VMware View client) and a PCoIP host card using

VMware View.
