(NOTE: the terms Cloud Desktop and zero client are used
interchangeably in this document.)

A Cloud Desktop, or zero client, is a remote computing
device that connects a user’s monitors, keyboard, mouse,
speakers, and other peripherals to remote ClearCube Blade
PCs (computers) and to virtual desktops (VMs). As shown
below, computing resources are typically located in remote
data centers. Cloud Desktops enable users to work on a blade
or VM as if it is a local PC. The connection between the zero
client and the remote device is over PCoIP
the remote device, a host card manages the PCoIP session.

Client and Host Firmware Compatibility

Always use compatible Teradici® firmware versions on
connected PCoIP devices.

• CD1020-Series and CD2020-Series zero clients
include Tera2 processors, requiring Teradici firmware

4.0.3 and higher.

• Be sure that any Tera1 devices (zero client models lower
than CD9600-series and CD7600-series and any host
card models lower than V5400-series) in a deployment
use the device’s Tera1-specific firmware.
