|
Ericom Blaze enhances the experience of users accessing graphics-rich content, including PDFs, browsers, Flash and other media-rich applications. Ericom Blaze Version 1.3 works faster, is easier to install, and delivers an even better RDP end-user experience than previously. Key benefits include increasing user productivity and reducing the number of complaints related to slow RDP performance. Ericom Blaze works by accelerating RDP connections over WAN, congested LAN, WiFi, 3G, GPRS and other network types. Delivering higher frame rates and reducing screen freezes and choppiness, Ericom Blaze accelerates RDP performance by up to 25x, while significantly reducing network bandwidth consumption over low-bandwidth/high latency connections. The software is fully compatible with all applications using RDP. |

yep - it offers up to 75x performance increases over TS.
It has saved a large OD Pro/EMR Logic project from a lot of pain. It's good stuff,but requires some custom dev in support of Screwdrivers integration in our case. It is dang expensive, however. |

I think it requires its own client, though, right? Not the standard RDP client? Is the client a free download, or is the a price on the client side as well? Is it primarily a TS product, or also for VPN-to-desktop use?
Can you share any idea on the price? Lketchum--are you using Screwdrivers to get away from funky HP drivers? |

@ lketchum
No Not if you compared with Windows 2008 R2 RDS features (RDP 7.0) They keep doing the comparaison with RDP 6.0 which was release in 2006... |

@4, Yes, it requires it own client, which appears to be built on the RDP client.
Licensing is per device, or one may buy a pool, which is 2x more costly. We're using Tricerat Screwdrivers to support all printers, but most especially Dymo label writers for frames labels across a large number of ocular practices that carry inventory. #5, Yes, WS08 R2 has some promise, but to be candid, we've been building on it since release and even with carefully selected certified hardware from Intel, we've run into one challenge after another and have only been able to manufacture two server variants that I am comfortable sending out the door to customers. There have been a great many very difficult compatibility issues and while I am certain WS08 R2 will eventually emerge as a solid platform, it is going to take time. The up take has been even slower than it was with Vista, and more problematic. Important driver and firmware updates have been required opposite components that were alleged to be certified with R2. Finally, MS can claim what they want, the 250 practices being supported say that it is night and day better with the Blaze client/Server. We can't wait for WS08 R2 to reach the level of stability I will trust. |

#6: Sadly, I have to agree about WS08 R2--I'm just finding out today from our SAN vendor (via a call) that software they "certified for R2" turns out to have the potential to cause VHDs on CSVs to be corrupted--and badly (beyond the help of CHKDSK). And you think they sent out a message to customers, pulled it from their site, or even put up a warning? Heck no.
You mention Intel... have you had good luck with the Intel NIC drivers? Because Broadcom's seem to suck mightily. From what I'm seeing, turning on the TCP Offload Engine (Chimney) feature through the BACS utility causes performance to drop about 90%--regardless of whether it's disabled for an individual NIC or not. I finally found that you must turn it off for ALL NICs--not at the NIC level, but at the server level in BACS (not exactly intuitive or easily-found). |

#7, Yeah. It's been a really expensive process and very disappointing. I can see the potential and welcome the new features, but it has been a very slow process. We've worked closely with Intel and Microsoft, and to the server's credit, the OS really isn't the issue. Intel admits that they made certain assumptions about the platform, and did not evaluate the changes well enough. They've shipped a lot of new firmware and updated drivers, but at this point, we're still not sure they have it right. We use custom Intel chassis and main boards and everything from controllers to NICs have been problematic. I don't even want to talk about Broadcom right now... nuff said...
As with Vista, none of the stack features from third party manufacturers work. It all centers on WS08 R2's RDC - remote differential compression, which works extremely well, but ONLY with select hardware and clients running compatible HW and Vista/Windows 7 (again, select hardware required to see how well it works). As with Vista, which in so many ways, is a better OS than 7, WS08 R2 is suffering from having so many complex features and too little interest opposite IT staffs that are already taxed to the max and understaffed/overworked, that it is going to be a very slow growth platform. I am very impressed with what I can do with the platform and IIS 7.5, when it evolves, is going to be truly amazing; however, it is going to take a great deal of work and perhaps three years before WS08 R2 is a platform I trust. We have (for banks) deployed remote app and direct access and it's very nice/slick and customers love it, but it was very costly to me to get the servers right. In test and for weeks, they would just lock completely up and for no reason at all. A firmware update to an obscure controller in the path was the affected part. |
