Testing ideas

Can I run my Dell Wyse client with PCoIP turned off?

• This helps determine the value of using a Teradici-licensed client. If performance OK, than can consider using cheaper clients.
•  Aso, if it performs OK on decent hardware, then the question is how does it perform on low performance (even cheaper!) hardware? Raspberry Pi, anyone?

Printing

Can't install a printer for which the driver is installed.

As it is now, dual-sided printer reverts to single-sided printer. That is, one ends up not even having the option to choose double-sided. Even though it can initially be made to see it's double-sided. Or something like that!

Is the root problem (must better characterize than the above?) actually a VDI issue? Or can the problem appear on any Windows system?

USB flash drive

Can't see USB storage device at all. Simple USB flash, 64MB from Dell.

Amazon Web Service (AWS) offers a similar service (WorkSpaces), for about 5 times the cost (as of 3/2015):

Best performance will be when usingTeradici’s PC-over-IP (PCoIP) technology ,which CIT has licensed for nominally affords the best performance. CIT (and AWS) offers PCoIP on its hosting infrastructure. Clients have to have this licensed technology to use it, and it is not available on Rasberry Raspberry Pi-type devices.

• NOTE: One can use a client which doesn't use PCoIP, but performance is less (how much less?).
