PCoIP is a UDP-based protocol that is host rendered, multi-codec and dynamically adaptive. In 2013 Amazon licensed the PCoIP protocol for use in AWS Amazon Workspaces.

In 2008, VMware licensed Teradici's PCoIP protocol, and supports it in VMware Horizon View. The protocol is available in hardware and in software. PC-over-IP (PCoIP) is a proprietary remote display protocol developed by Teradici. 'Teradici' was unique, sounded better and the domain name was available at the time.

One-tenth of a tera is a deci, but 'Teradeci' didn't roll off the tongue. That company's product involved a 100-gigabit datacenter networking device. The Teradici name originated from a previous company the founders were incubating. Teradici developed a software implementation of PCoIP, which VMware started shipping in VMware View 4. In 2008, VMware announced it was licensing Teradici's PCoIP protocol. It operated in stealth mode until 2007 when they announced their first products, a blade server card and a small hockey puck shaped client, using a proprietary chip which implemented the PCoIP protocol. Teradici was founded in 2004 by Dan Cordingley, Dave Hobbs, Ken Unger and Maher Fahmi. From left to right Tera1, Tera2 (four ports) and Tera2 (two ports) History
