Hi Jim,
Panologic and also Teradici have a hardware remoting protocol that has
completely transparent hardware (graphics, keyboard/mouse, USB etc)
"redirection". This means that multimedia performance and just about
everything else will be as good as on a PC, at least for LAN-based thin
clients. The good news for hardware manufacturers is that the "back-end"
systems are blade PCs.
The largest single drawback with a Panalogic/Teradici type solution is the
hardware support required at both ends, and the fact that the protocol is
proprietary.
Remote/WAN access is still going to be a problem with stuff like latency etc
but that may very well be handled by the new VESA Net2Display protocol which
will handle LAN clients as well. If Net2Display takes off, the relevance of
RDP and ICA could become questionable. Since Teradici are heavily involved
with Net2Display, it's probably a good guess that they will soon have
Net2Display support in their hardware. That makes it non-proprietary and may
well point to the future of thin clients.
regards,
Rick
