Amulet Hotkey are excited to announce the launch of the DXM-A PCoIP® Hardware Accelerator (APEX 2800) - a mezzanine card for use with Dell M series blade servers. The card, developed by Amulet Hotkey is based on Teradici’s ground-breaking PCoIP technology and integrates seamlessly with VMware® Horizon View®. The DXM-A enhances the performance of VMware Horizon View by offloading PCoIP image encoding tasks and reducing server CPU utilization. It empowers IT managers to protect and ensure a consistent user experience while enabling increased VDI consolidation ratios.
The DXM-A is designed for use with the Dell M520 & M620 servers with minimal configuration, both the M520 and M620 have slots for two DXM-A cards presenting IT managers with a powerful solution for improving VDI performance across the board.
A custom version of the product for Dell’s quarter height M420 blade will be available in October.
The technology ensures a consistent user experience by:
Creating virtual CPU headroom to deliver consistent application performance, enabling intensive applications to run smoother;
Reducing peaks in CPU utilization by up to 50% and smoothing overall CPU demand providing a reliable and consistent level of experience regardless of the overall demand on server CPUs; and
Constantly monitoring the graphic encoding demands of each display and dynamically offloads up to 100 of the most active displays
