Virtual Desktop Display Acceleration Technology: RVEC

Virtual desktop services have been attracting attention due to their ability to improve data security and reduce the operation and management costs of personal computers. A virtual desktop is a desktop environment virtualized in a cloud that can be accessed remotely and used in the same way as a conventional desktop environment. It thereby eliminates the need to store information on a client terminal. As smartphones grow in sophistication and popularity, the need for using virtual desktop services in a mobile environment is increasing, and smooth operability is required as well. Fujitsu Laboratories has developed Remote Virtual Environment Computing (RVEC) technology, which improves the operational responsiveness of user terminals. It works by decreasing the amount of data transfer for videos and high-definition images. It reduces the amount of data transferred to one-tenth that with conventional techniques. This technology supports virtual desktop services for handling graphics processing of computer-aided design (CAD) as well as other such applications in a mobile environment with smartphones and other devices.
