AccessNow for VMware Horizon View is an HTML5 RDP client that delivers seamless access to VMware View virtual desktops running wholly within a browser. Ericom's unique technology gives users the flexibility and mobility to access their desktops from anywhere, and any HTML5 compatible browser on any platform�Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad / iPhone, Android, Google Chromebook, RIM BlackBerry / Playbook, Amazon Kindle Fire HD � even locked-down Workstations � lowering user device support load and enabling BYOD adoption. AccessNow for VMware View does not install anything on the end-user client device. Moreover, the HTML5 client looks, works and performs like (and even better than) the regular (native) RDP client.
This means that the client does not require Flash or Java or ActiveX or Silverlight or any other special software installed - it is implemented using only standard web technologies (HTML, CSS and JavaScript). As a result, all you need in order to use it is an HTML5 compatible web browser such as Google Chrome, IE, Apple Safari, Firefox, etc.
It's so simple! All you need is:
- An HTML5 compatible web browser, such as
Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Firefox.
- Link to a web page
- Enter the computer name of the VMware View server
- Press 'Connect' - The View desktop appears within the browser - not in a separate window
Ericom AccessNow was designed to work on top of WebSocket, which is the new communication mechanism introduced in HTML5 for high-performance, bi-directional, full-duplex communications channels, over a single TCP socket. AccessNow also optimally integrates with JavaScript and the new HTML5 canvas component for image rendering in the browser. PCoIP has its own proprietary image format which is not supported by browsers and therefore can't be displayed within browsers.
In addition, PCoIP's high efficiency stems to a great degree from the use of its own proprietary image formats and image processing techniques. None of the major browsers currently support these proprietary image formats, which prevents the implementation of a PCoIP HTML5 client.
