not in software, which is what most terminals do. There are terminals everywhere that sport the VMware View client, but what makes the Wyse P20 special is that it has a Teradici chip in it that does all of the PCoIP decoding and encoding in hardware…. You can spot it however if you look just to the right of the terminal in the picture above. The keyboard is pretty heavy duty compared to some of the bundled keyboards these days, and the power supply is well almost non-existent. What’s in the boxīesides the terminal, the box includes a Wyse Keyboard and mouse, power supply (which is super tiny), and a small base which allows the terminal to stand on end.
But besides those scenarios, there really isn’t a CPU bottleneck. The only problem that I have on the server side is when I do full-screen video or multiple monitors and video on one monitor and other apps on the other. The hardware driving this is a pair of HP D元65 G1 servers which have 2 x Dual-Core Opteron 2218 processors. The test desktop is a Windows 7 Pro machine and has 1 vCPU, 1GB of RAM, and about 25GB of HDD space on the SAN. The environment that I used to test the terminal is my VMware Lab equipment that is colocated about 30 miles from the office. YouTube audio and video is almost always synced and there is very little lag. Then recently we got a unit in at the office for a customer demo, and I got a second chance to play with one in combination with my VMware View 4.6 install at the co-lo.Įverything that I have thrown at the Wyse P20 in terms of applications and multimedia just works…it just chugs along and gets it done. The first time I worked with this terminal was at VMWorld 2010, they were the terminal that VMware was using for their lab environment.
I must say that I am very bias about this terminal, I love this thing.
