Citrix Multi-media over the ICA channel
- This was a very difficult session to follow, so the following notes are not that great
- Multi-media virtualization
- to any end point, over the ICA channel
- Apollo
- Streaming media
- 3D graphics
- Remote audio/video extensions, not in XenDesktop - but it is supported with the Linux Wyse thin client
- At some time in the future this will run on virtual machines, rather than physical machines with a GPU
- key to the above is:
- inspecting the end point
- inspecting the app
- inspecting the network
- then decide how to deliver the experience
- 3D graphics
- Server side GPU’s
- Server side rendering units
- Accelerated bitmap remoting
- directX, OpenGL, WPF, Flash and Silerlight
- Realtime communications
- VOIP over ICA seems to work ok
- Softphone on demand
