About EVGA PCoIP Technology

EVGA’s PCoIP products offer the right solution for the best experience. With copper and fiber models available, users can cover business from all sides on all networks with ease of management and security. EVGA’s zero clients are “true zero clients” providing the user with a small foot print design, low power consumption, centralized security protection, OS versatility and full USB 2.0 support. Centralized computing is now a truly viable option for all user types, either locally via LAN or remotely via WAN. Host rendering preserves the PC environment so applications perform as they should.
