Scalable high-performance interactive real-time media architectures for virtual desktop environments

Abstract

A system for providing interactive two-way real-time media in desktop virtualization environment, the desktop virtualization environment comprising at least one desktop virtualization server computer and at least one desktop virtualization client endpoint device with an associated video camera. The system incorporates: at least one instance of server software executing on the desktop virtualization server for providing at least interactive user interface functions to an associated desktop virtualization client endpoint device, the instance of software configured to access a network; at least one instance of endpoint software executing on a desktop virtualization client endpoint device, the instance of software further comprising access to the network; and a terminal-server/terminal-client network connection between the instance of server software and instance of endpoint software, the network connection implemented using the access to the network comprised by the instance of server software and the access to network comprised by the instance of endpoint software.

Problems solved by technology

The resulting amount of software needed at the endpoint shrinks considerably.

However, no degradation in performance is actually not an accurate or complete story.

Although most desktop computing applications do well or better operating in a VDI environment, in fact some applications are functionally and structurally not suited for even adequate performance in a st...
