Commenting on: CADSpeed: Remote Graphics and the Professional CAD Workstation, Part 3: Security for Serious 3D CAD

Post #3 in the 4-part series on remote graphics for CAD, talks about remote graphics solutions that include hardware accelerated encryption and high-speed transmission PCoIP technologies like the FirePro RG220 Remote Graphics card.

For high performance CAD this is a 1:1 solutions (one thin client mapped to one remote graphics card).  The big gain for companies where intellectual property is critical, is security.  With remote graphics and PCoIP, the data resides on the server and graphics card and never is at risk for theft (inadvertent or intentional) from the local machine. For engineering companies who do projects for government…
