PCoIP transmits audio and USB signals, as well. The PCoIP (PC over IP) technology was developed by the Canadian company Teradici specifically to display graphical output over IP networks (see the “Advantages of PCoIP” box). Furthermore, this arrangement prevents physical access to the hardware, removing the ability of data thieves simply to clone or remove the hard disk with the project data. Thus, maximum data security, (through centralized data storage and the ability to assign restrictive permissions) as well as spatial and geographic independence (through the distributed use of central resources and workplace ergonomics) favor the use of remote, instead of static, workstations.įor these reasons, it makes sense to set up workstations at the data center, where they are under the control of the IT department and can be more easily integrated with the existing data center infrastructure (e.g., access control, centralized backup processes, UPS, air conditioning). Moreover, the same data might need to be accessed by multiple users at different locations, such as for a joint venture in which several companies are developing a product.

These devices also often process sensitive data that must not be lost or allowed to fall into the hands of competitors. Powerful workstations for demanding graphics tasks are usually expensive and produce a lot of heat and fan noise.
