pTaipei, Taiwan (8th April, 2014) — ASUS today announces the availability of the CP220 and CP240 Zero Client Monitors along with the CPX20 Zero Client Box for enterprises looking to create an efficient and cost effective IT management system to enhance their VMware®-based Virtual Desktop Infrastucture (VDI). These innovative solutions feature Teradici® PCoIP® (PC-over-IP) technology that compresses, encrypts and encodes the entire computing process at the data center and transmits it as 'pixels only' to the CP series Zero Client Monitor or CPX20 Zero Client Box.

pThe innovative ASUS CP series Zero Client Monitors are VMware-ready displays with a built-in Teradici Tera 2321 processor with onboard PCoIP technology. This lets the CP series seamlessly integrate with VMware-based environments to create a VDI solution for enterprises. The PCoIP remote display protocol allows users to access data and applications directly from a centralized server, doing away with the need for desktops, tablets or notebooks. /p
pThis frees users and administrators from routine PC maintenance tasks like downloading patches or updates, in addition to simplifying desktop management, increasing security and reducing infrastructure costs.
