Virtual desktop infrastructure
For users who adopt Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Cisco DX650 supports third-party virtual desktop
clients from leading third-party vendors:
•
Citrix
•
VMware
•
Wyse
Desktop virtualization technologies may offer a degraded level of performance when remotely accessing
audio, video, and interactive multimedia resources. Unlike other desktop virtualization endpoints, your phone
features a local voice and video media plane, which enables your phone to connect to media traffic through
the device itself and outside of the remote desktop display protocol. For example, two Cisco DX600 Series
phone users in the same branch can call each other using Cisco Unified Personal Communicator running on
their remote virtual desktop and, while the control (signaling) plane resides in the data center, the audio and
video connection between the users never leaves the branch. The branch network applies packet prioritization
to the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) flow, and the two phones connect directly to each other without
the need for the voice to traverse the WAN twice to reach the data center. The local voice and video media
plane delivers the best quality experience for audio and video collaboration without inflating the bandwidth
consumption over the WAN.
Some applications on a remote desktop are designed for a larger screen size. To avoid cutting off part of an
application in a virtual desktop client, Cisco recommends that you set the remote desktop to a larger screen
size than 1024 x 600.
You musy run desktop virtualization clients on an external monitor in external mode, not in mirror mode.
The desktop virtualization experience on Cisco DX650 includes keyboard and mouse support. However, the
desktop virtualization clients retain the touch-mode behavior, and some keyboard and mouse actions may
differ from a typical Microsoft Windows experience. For a description of supported keyboard shortcuts and
mouse actions, refer to the USB keyboard and mouse section of this guide.
For additional information about Citrix Receiver, VMware View Client, and Wyse PocketCloud Pro, see the
product description for each application.
