Supported Operating Systems for Standalone View Persona
Management
The standalone View Persona Management software provides persona management for standalone physical
computers and virtual machines that do not have View Agent 5.x installed. When users log in, their profiles
are downloaded dynamically from a remote profile repository to their standalone systems.
NOTE To configure View Persona Management for View desktops, install View Agent with the View
Persona Management setup option. The standalone View Persona Management software is intended for
non-View systems only.
Table 2-3 lists the operating systems supported for the standalone View Persona Management software.

Remote Display Protocol and Software Support
Remote display protocols and software provide access to remote desktops and applications. The remote
display protocol used depends on the type of client device, whether you are connecting to a remote desktop
or a remote application, and how the administrator configures the desktop or application pool.

PCoIP on page 15
PCoIP (PC over IP) provides an optimized desktop experience for the delivery of a remote application
or an entire remote desktop environment, including applications, images, audio, and video content for
a wide range of users on the LAN or across the WAN. PCoIP can compensate for an increase in latency
or a reduction in bandwidth, to ensure that end users can remain productive regardless of network
conditions.

Microsoft RDP on page 16
Remote Desktop Protocol is the same multichannel protocol many people already use to access their
work computer from their home computer. Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) uses RDP to
transmit data.
