Again this is VMware documentation so I’d like to see some testing done by others. If we tune down our WAN connection we see that PCoIP loses all it’s performance and BEAT still soars on. PCoIP suddenly lost all frames per second where BEAT is still giving a good 20+ fames per second. If we look at a WAN scenario the real power of BEAT / Blast Extreme is shown. PCoIP from TeraDici of course is still actively being developed, it’s being used by Amazon for one or with CAS from TeraDici PCoIP is not being worked on as much as they used to be, focus has shifted to BEAT / Blast Extreme. where BEAT is new and actively developed, PCoIP from VMware is not. There is however a difference in the implementation of both protocols. There is nearly no difference in performance on frames per second. If we look at the VMware information we notice that in a LAN environment PCoIP and BEAT / Blast Extreme are damn close. Screenshots below are VMware’s, so credit go to them. Performance improvementsĪccording to VMware, will need to do some testing somehow, Beat/Blast Extreme is far better in any situation that PCoIP ever was. TCP on the other hand would resend and resend and your session would look choppy. It’s sending a lot of data to make sure your session is near perfect. It’s UDP protocol meaning it will use the bandwidth the deliver the experience if the bandwidth is there. PCoIP is available as software or hardware, many zero clients were sold with aTeraDici hardware chip to deliver high performance PCoIP sessions. Today also TeraDici is offering a cloud access offering using PCoIP. More vendors licensed the protocol like VMware did, Amazon is using it also for their workspaces. The previous protocols leading up to blast Extreme didn’t match up with PCoIP in features.įor you who don’t know, PCoIP is originally a TeraDici protocol and VMware licensed the use of it back in 2008 and used it as it’s primary protocol ever since. Of course Blast Extreme is not really a new kid on the block anymore but if we look at the protocol adoption I think it’s fairly new for most customers. Blast Extreme is the protocol we already know, now it is improved further and part of BEAT. Blast Extreme as a protocol is part of BEAT (Blast Extreme Advanced Transport), UDP transport for better performance, UDP like PCoIP uses. I wrote and said before that one day VMware will have to make a choice, PCoIP or Blast extreme. You can’t maintain multiple protocols, development resources are not unlimited. I’d like to focus on the protocol war, VMware Horizon offers three protocols to work with. I thought I focus on something different here, something as important and with less attention. I’m sure that there are several other blogs out there doing just that, so I decided against it. I could show you a summation of the new features. VMware Horizon 7.2: New kid “Blast extreme” is the rising star
