Prior to production deployment, remote desktop workloads should be assessed in terms of user experience expectations, network bandwidth demands, and performance considerations related to both the host platform (i.e. physical or virtualized desktop) and the Anyware client endpoint.
The following sections outline the important network requirements and guidelines to take into consideration when setting up a PCoIP session. This section covers the following areas:
This section lists Anyware agent configuration parameters that directly affect PCoIP session characteristics; there are additional settings that govern other session behaviors.
For configuration instructions specific to your host agent type and operating system, including settings not described here, consult the following product documentation.

PCoIP Ultra offers three modes that optimize system performance dependent on use case demands:
HP Anyware is supported by two licensing models. Each model requires a specific license type:
This guide provides information for system administrators who are looking to implement, install, and develop HP Anyware solutions.
The material in this guide is based on the supported features and requirements of HP Anyware 2025.06. Earlier versions of HP Anyware, and its components, may not provide the level of support documented here.
Load balancers may be added to an HP Anyware deployment to distribute system and to optimize performance by distributing PCoIP connections across several Anyware Connectors.
HP Anyware enables PCoIP connections between users and remote workstations or desktops using any of several connection models dependent on number of users, location of users relative to remote workstations, your desire to incorporate public cloud workstations and your authentication requirements.
HP Anyware solutions can be implemented and deployed on Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud environments, as well as on-premises. The following section points to reference information on these cloud vendors, specifically looking at the platform architectures.
