HP Anyware, formerly Teradici CAS, is now offering support for Macs powered by M1 chips. Support for M1 chips—including M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra—became available with the Anyware 22.07 product release from HP Teradici. Support for M1 chips was already available on Mac clients, and with this release, even more features have been added—like the ability to run PCoIP® agents on M1 hardware.
HP Teradici added macOS support to HP Anyware in mid-2021, and has continued upgrading it since. Mac hardware support was a highly requested feature across Media and Entertainment, Game Development, and AEC, among others. As more industries continue to adapt to a hybrid work environment, secure access to high-powered remote desktop workflows has become a larger priority so employees can work wherever they have connectivity.
To facilitate better cloud solutions for users, HP Teradici has been partnering with MacStadium, the leading provider of enterprise-class Mac cloud solutions, since 2021. The MacStadium team welcomed the news about HP Anyware support for Macs with M1 chips.
"We are excited to offer HP Anyware on M1 to our customers,” said Tom Schnell, Chief Customer Officer at MacStadium. “Apple Silicon is the way of the future and this update, along with our continued HP Teradici partnership, enables us to deliver a premium remote desktop experience to cloud users on the latest Apple technology.”
What does Mac support for the M1 family of chips include?
Following rigorous beta testing, we have received positive feedback from users who were employing Macs with M1 chips for visual effects development and video editing workflows. Users can now easily run PCoIP® agents on M1 hardware, including running graphics-intensive applications like Autodesk Maya, SideFX Houdini, and Adobe Premiere Pro, from virtually anywhere.
Support for M1 chips in HP Anyware will be released in phases. The first phase within the 22.07 release will include complete end-to-end support for PCoIP agents and clients for Macs with Apple silicon. Anyware on macOS already includes the first version of collaboration, with further updates available throughout the year.
While full PCoIP support will be available on M1 Macs from now, end-to-end PCoIP Ultra support from macOS hosts to macOS clients is expected in phase two, in six months. Support for M2 chips, which were announced at WWDC 2022, will be included in a future release.
HP Anyware connects Mac users to their data
HP Anyware brings together the flexibility, security and productivity of Teradici CAS with the collaboration features of ZCentral Remote Boost. For users who have Macs with an M1 chip, HP Anyware, which is built on the PCoIP remote display protocol, enables them to remote-in and access company data and applications from virtually anywhere. The versatility of the PCoIP protocol means users can access their macOS resources with HP Anyware even when they are using a Windows or Linux agent or client.
HP Anyware for digital workspaces is the secure remoting software for virtually any cloud, data center, edge, OS, or workstation and a variety of endpoints, including PC, Mac, laptop, tablet, thin clients or zero clients. The software includes three elements:
- PCoIP Agents, which are deployed on remote desktops and workstations in a data center
- PCoIP Clients, which are installed on endpoint devices
- Anyware Manager, a secure broker for IT administrators to provision and monitor connections
HP Anyware is available on multiple operating systems, including macOS, Windows OS, Linux, as well as iOS and Android.
