VMware View 4.6 : What’s New (1)

Security Server Support for PCoIP

Security servers now include a PCoIP Secure Gateway component. The PCoIP Secure

Gateway connection offers the following benefits:

Ensures the only remote desktop traffic that can enter the corporate data center is traffic

on behalf of a strongly authenticated user.

Simplified end-user experience when connecting to their View desktop from an external

location. Users can access only the desktop resources that they are authorized to access.

Removes the requirement for a 3rd party SSL VPN solution. External end-users using

PCoIP are no longer required to connect through a 3rd party SSL VPN solution as long as

PCoIP is not blocked by any networking component

Delivers an integrated solution to simplify configuration and management of View

deployments in environments with external PCoIP users.

Supports deploying security servers with PCoIP on Windows Server 2008 R2 and take full

advantage of the 64-bit architecture.
