Would anyone know of Teradici terminals would support a RDP session from a hyper-v virtual desktop? We presently have 20 licenses for Omnissa Horizon view. And we can use Teradici with PCOIP to connect the omnissa horizon view desktops. We were wanting to move away from vmware. I have looked at cloud virtual desktops but they are more for larger virtual desktop environments and require a minimum of so many desktops. I believe they start at 100 virutal desktops. So we had thought at looking at setting up a hyper-v server and setting up 20 virtual desktops. and be able to login in to those virtual desktops on the Teradici zero clients. Thoughts, ideas? Thanks

I assume you mean to, not from.

Teradici terminals are for PCoIP and do not support RDP protocol, natively.

20 licenses seems a little low for the cost vs use case - why not consider RDSH instead of dedicated desktops to save money, even without migrating from VMware.

Virtual desktops, because of the desktop OS license when virtual is very expensive, especially to do right. It’s not ideal for small numbers for this reason - unless each desktop was using a shared GPU then some costs can be offset.

With RDSH you can have multiple users per server.

As Rod has explained Teradici terminals only support PCoIP.

But that does not stop you using hyper-v as the hypervisor. The PCoIP server is software within the virtual machine operating system. This is completely independent of the hypervisor - I am using it to enable thin clients to a bare metal windows OS.
Omnissa Horizon in addition provides broker and management of VDI - but even this is supported on hyper-v. See Omnissa Product Documentation

You will need to look at the Omnissa specific elements carefully, I am more familiar with Horizon vmware native which does not care what the hypervisor is. GPU is likely to be the main area of concern.
