Workload Characterization and Network Planning

Prior to production deployment, remote desktop workloads should be assessed in terms of user experience expectations, network bandwidth demands, and performance considerations related to both the host platform (i.e. physical or virtualized desktop) and the Anyware client endpoint.

Session Planning with PCoIP Ultra

PCoIP Ultra offers three modes that optimize system performance dependent on use case demands:

PCoIP Session Configuration

This section lists Anyware agent configuration parameters that directly affect PCoIP session characteristics; there are additional settings that govern other session behaviors.

For configuration instructions specific to your host agent type and operating system, including settings not described here, consult the following product documentation.

PCoIP Performance Optimization

If fine tuning of user experience is needed, PCoIP session parameters impacting frame rate, image quality and bandwidth may be tuned via the Group Policy Editor (Windows) or session configuration file (Linux or macOS) as described in the respective Anyware Agent Administrator Guides.

Application and OS Optimization

Windows Performance Optimizations

We recommend the following Windows and application optimizations for the preceding sample profiles.

The following sections outline the important network requirements and guidelines to take into consideration when setting up a PCoIP session. This section covers the following areas:

PCoIP Session Planning Guide

This guide provides capacity planning, optimization, and troubleshooting information for system administrators preparing networks for PCoIP traffic or preparing workloads for remote access using the PCoIP protocol. It acts as a troubleshooting and network planning guide.
