Using a standalone physical PC
You can enable PCoIP connections to a standalone computer, without a discreet GPU, via the Standard Agent for Windows. Standalone physical PCs are currently not tested, but are expected to work. For more information and instructions, see HP Anyware Instructions for Standalone Computers in the HP Knowledge Base.
Note: Elastic GPU and other EC2 instances supported
The Standard Agent for Windows supports a variety of EC2 instances, including elastic GPU types such as eg1.large. Refer to Amazon EC2 Elastic GPUs documentation for more information.
