Streamcore Addresses Application Performance Challenges Linked to Desktop Virtualization at Remote Offices

Streamcore Helps Enterprises Realize Full Benefits of Desktop Virtualization by
Overcoming Poor Performance of Virtualized WAN Traffic

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Streamcore, the global provider of visibility and dynamic performance control
solutions to manage application and voice over IP (VoIP) delivery over the WAN,
today announced that its solutions are an enabling technology for enterprises
undertaking desktop virtualization at remote offices. Streamcore solutions help
enterprises overcome poor application performance of virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI) traffic, such as Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
and Citrix ICA protocol, exchanged between virtual machines in the data center
and clients at remote sites.

The composition of VDI traffic changes dynamically over time alternating between
highly interactive traffic such keyboard strokes and screen refreshes and
non-interactive traffic such as printing and file copying. Streamcore`s patented
ABBA engine analyzes the behavior of sessions and automatically prioritizes all
interactive traffic over other types of traffic to guarantee the best possible
user experience.

"Streamcore`s ability to automatically prioritize VDI traffic based on its
behavior is unique in the market and is highly important to the success of any
desktop virtualization efforts," said Frédéric Hediard, vice president of
product management at Streamcore. "Not only do we manage the VDI traffic and
other flows that are all competing for bandwidth, we prioritize VDI sessions as
well. As a result, VDI traffic performs well and the full benefits of desktop
virtualization can be realized."

Desktop virtualization creates a greater need for WAN traffic visibility, one of
Streamcore`s core competencies. Given that VDI traffic is highly susceptible to
poor application performance, Streamcore`s visibility is needed to manage VDI
traffic and swiftly troubleshoot application performance issues.

In addition to providing granular visibility, Streamcore provides real-time
application response measurements of VDI traffic. These measurements help IT
staffs to continually monitor how VDI traffic is performing and to proactively
control traffic to ensure that end users are having a positive network
experience. Streamcore`s reporting can be provisioned to automatically highlight
which remote branch offices are suffering from the worst performance and to
identify the root cause.
