Matrox EpicA to revolutionize thin computing with multi-display

Quote from MMD:

Imagine a thin client connected to 4 monitors (i.e. the Matrox EpicA graphics card is installed in the thin client). The thin client is then used to connect remotely to a Windows server machine via rDesktop or Citrix ICA.

I am curious, do you have metrics that compare the performance of rDesktop vs Citrix? Also, have you noticed that running a linux client is more efficient than a windows client or the other way around?

It does seem that Citrix ICA Client and Presentation Server is more optimized than RDP/rDesktop, i.e. Citrix requires less bandwidth than RDP.

We have not yet found one to be more efficient than the other.

By thin client I assume you mean your local pc that you would basically only be using to run the RD with your apps running on a remote machine. So for example, if I have a machine with 8 monitors in one location and another with 8 in another location, I can remotely connect to one from the other and be able to utilize the 8 local screens as if I was at the remote location with 8 screens?

Can you tell me which is your best dvi card for 2d apps (text, charts, trading)? When you are using dvi for these purposes, can there be any performance differences, or are all cards the same at that level?

why bother for individual traders - cheaper to dual DVI card for $100.0 ea.

You don't understand the problem this card solves.

Read carefully

Does the new server side software up the max 1600x1200 that RDP supports?
Thanks

In short - no. For that, you would need to use Citrix or the rdesktop - the Linux RDP client. EpicA software's value lies in its ability to allow multi-monitor awareness and desktop management from the server-side.
 
Are there any requirements for the thin client, in terms of what OS it runs. Presumably drivers need to be installed on the local device, so is XPe required? Would it work on devices that just support RDP and ICA and have no operating system, such as the Wyse S10?
