APPLICATION NOTE - VMware View with Juniper Networks SA Series SSL VPN Appliances

PCoIP (PC-over-IP) Support

PCoIP is a high performance display protocol purpose-built to deliver virtual desktops and to provide end users with

the best, total rich desktop experience regardless of task or location. With PCoIP, the entire computing experience

is compressed, encrypted and encoded in the datacenter before being transmitted across a standard IP network to

PCoIP-enabled endpoint devices.

Using VMware View with PCoIP display protocol end-users benefit from a rich desktop experience on the LAN as well

as across the WAN. In conjunction with the SA Series SSL VPN Appliance using IPsec Encapsulation Security Payload

(ESP), an end-user is able to connect with PCoIP from a remote location across an encrypted connection back to the

datacenter where their desktop resides.

All that is required to configure PCoIP is a Network Connect profile allowing the View client running on the workstation

to access the View servers. As PCoIP requires both TCP and UDP, a layer 3 VPN tunnel (NC) is required. To fully

optimize any PCoIP session, the Network Connect UDP/ESP transport method needs to be implemented.

Note that the user experience with PCoIP will be different from accessing with RDP only. RDP users can access

their virtual desktops using the SSL VPN bookmarks, whereas PCoIP users will simply access the View desktop by

first establishing the Network Connect session and then launching the View client as if they were on the LAN. With

this configuration, there is no dependency on any particular version of VMware View, so even newer and emerging

distributions by VMware are immediately supported.

Troubleshooting/Logging

SA Series SSL VPN Appliances log virtually all transactions/interactions with the VMware View server. Below is an

example of some of the granular logging and also custom formats/filters which could be applied.
