Look around the typical workplace and you will find hundreds, possibly thousands, of computers stacked under desks generating heat, noise and consuming huge amounts of power – probably more than the building was designed to supply. The air-conditioning system will be working overtime to maintain a comfortable working environment and technicians have to crawl around under cluttered desks whenever a fault occurs.

Think how much better it would be if you could move all of these computers away from the desk, out of the building, without degrading the users ‘computing experience.’  Users retain their powerful, multi-display setups but the noise, the heat and the clutter are gone.

Amulet Hotkey PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) based products make this possible.

Using PCoIP, workstations are ‘back-racked’ away from the workplace and connected to the user over a standard LAN or WAN connection. A PCoIP Host (transmitter) is used to analyse, compress, encrypt and transmit pixel, audio and USB data to the desktop where a PCoIP Zero-client (receiver) decodes the data for the user.

PC-over-IP (PCoIP®)is an innovative protocol that eliminates the need for workstations to be located in the working environment. It delivers an uncompromised user experience to each desk - anywhere, avoiding the security risks associated with transmitting data across a network or having the data reside in the workplace PCs.

In its simplest form, PCoIP allows you to ‘put your workstations somewhere else.’ Everything else remains the same. Your basic distributed workstation model, server and LAN architecture does not change.

It is ideally suited for Financial applications, Command & Control centers, Militiary and Secure computing applications, CAD / CAM design groups, Utilities, Education, Government, Medical and Industrial Control and Public Services.

All Amulet Hotkey Zero-clients  have been certified as compatible with View 4tm by VMware. This means that the Zero-client can now link to any back-racked vitual workstation allowing power users, knowledge workers and administrative staff alike to benefit from the superior performance and enhanced security provided by PCoIP. Thanks to View 4 compatibility, the goal of a unified desktop throughout the enterprise is now achievable.

The DXR4-iP is Amulet Hotkey's premier desktop Zero-client and is designed to be used in quad-head, power user applications where high end performance and total dependability are paramount.
