An administrator is leveraging PCoIP protocol in their Horizon environment and wants to distribute clients to end users that have the smallest footprint possible with no local operating system…

Question

Options

• ATeradici based zero clients
• BWindows embedded thin client
• CMacOS Client
• DAndroid based thin client

• A
  92% (36)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

Teradici zero clients are purpose-built hardware devices that implement PCoIP entirely in firmware, meaning they have zero local operating system - just enough silicon to decode a PCoIP stream. This makes them the absolute smallest footprint option and the native match for PCoIP since Teradici invented the protocol itself.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Windows embedded thin client) still runs a stripped-down Windows OS, so it has a local operating system - violating the "no local OS" requirement.
• C (macOS client) is a full software client installed on a full macOS operating system - the largest footprint of all options.
• D (Android thin client) runs on the Android OS, so again, a local operating system is present.

Memory tip: Think zero client = zero OS. The word "zero" is the giveaway - zero clients have zero local operating system. Pair that with the fact that Teradici created PCoIP, so Teradici hardware + PCoIP protocol is always the tightest, most native fit in any Horizon exam question.
