Hi!
I've just started evaluating View 6 in a very simple environment in order to make some first steps in VDI. For this purpose, I've installed the View Connection Server and a Win7 VM on my ESXi 6 host.
Then I've verified the installation using the Horizon Client on my workstation as well as by using HTML on a different computer. That worked without any problems and PCoIP performance was as good as using RDP. But then I've bought an old Tera1 thin client (built into an LG display) and the results were ridiculous :-(
Yes I know that those Tera1 clients came into age but I can't imagine that people accepted this horrible performance in the past. I mean, sometimes the screen redraws only once a second and even keystrokes seems to be delayed that bad. And I'm only talking about basic Windows usage like navigating through folders, renaming files, ...
I've double checked that it isn't a network or ESXi performance issue. The performance counters of all affected devices / VMs are absolutely in range (no packet loss, PCoIPs network latency is shown as 0msec, no WAN/Routing involved, entire network contains only 8 workstations).
The display resolution is set to 1024x768 and I've set the VMs VRAM amount to 128MB.
So my question is if it's worth to try a different zero-/thin client or to drop this strategy completely and switch over to full-blown clients.
