Benefits of PCoIP Zero Clients

PCoIP zero clients virtually eliminate the need for desktop management because they have no CPU, application OS, device drivers, fan or hard drive. Significant benefits for IT organizations in healthcare, education, government and other market sectors include low operational cost, increased security capabilities, a rich user experience, and future-proof desktop scalability.
