In addition, several VMware partners offer thin client devices for VMware View deployments. The features

that are available for each thin client device are determined by the vendor and model and the configuration

that an enterprise chooses to use. For information about the vendors and models for thin client devices, see the

Thin Client Compatibility Guide, available on the VMware Web site.

Choosing a Display Protocol

A display protocol provides end users with a graphical interface to a View desktop that resides in the

datacenter. You can use Microsoft RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), HP RGS for HP physical machines, or

PCoIP (PC-over-IP).

You can set policies to control which protocol is used or to allow end users choose the protocol when they log

in to a desktop.

NOTE When you check out a desktop for use on a local client system, neither of the RDP or PCoIP remote

display protocols is used.
