If all the computation is done on the server and all this card does is stream pixels, what's the point of having it connected to a motherboard rather than just having standalone box with some monitor and USB ports?Reply
It's a solution for remote workstations, typically rack-mount, and not necessarily servers. The main benefit is that it allows IT to provide a workstation without the physical requirements of a large noisy system ever having to leave the data center, also an added security benefit.Reply
Ah, I was under the impression this card was for the client side, I guess it's bad reading comprehension on my part and expecting a server-side card to be larger.Reply
It's really interesting that Teridici is providing the silicon and that AMD is using them. I've never heard of PCoIP till now, but I *have* heard of Teridici. I play hockey with some of those guys on Wednesdays! Vancouver doesn't have too many silicon houses, so it's always cool to hear news from our area :)Reply
The HP t410 is one of many compatible client side devices as well as the HP t310 which would be higher performing since it is based on a Teradici client ASIC (see http://www.teradici.com/where-to-buy/search-produc... for the complete list). The R5000 plugs into the workstation that needs to be accessed remotely and is an AMD unique solution. Reply

HP's got them beat. Check out the HP t410.All in one unit that is powered from POE. Reply
