Why Ericom Blaze?

Great user experiences are crucial to the success of remote access solutions. IT departments strive to provide great (or even acceptable) remote computing experiences that closely match local PC-like experience. Today’s RDP (the de facto standard for remote access) does not meet this performance level. As productivity decreases and frustration levels rise, remote users often experience sluggish response times, screen updates and displays that are painfully slow; images rendered in chunks; videos and animations that have a low frame rate.

Ericom Blaze transforms RDP into a fast, responsive, and extremely efficient remote display protocol that dramatically reduces bandwidth consumption and optimizes RDP network traffic across the WAN/LAN and slow bandwidth connections. With these dramatic and productivity-enhancing improvements to the end-user experience, Ericom Blaze enables the reality of deploying and scaling desktop virtualization (VDI), Terminal Services and thin client computing to remote / mobile users, branch offices and clouds – quickly and cost-effectively.

How Does It Work?

Blaze performs three key operations to compress RDP by up to 98% and to transmit data up to 25 times faster than RDP:

1. Blaze intelligently introspects the RDP protocol and compresses display data by 20 times and more. In addition, Blaze performs enhanced bulk compression on all the data transmitted via RDP.
2. Blaze performs packet shaping to optimize RDP communication over high-latency / low-bandwidth connections.
3. Standard RDP breaks screen frames into multiple small chunks that are rendered individually on the local display. Blaze unifies these chunks and displays complete screen frames as single units, resulting in a much smoother and more pleasant and-user experience.

How does Blaze compare with other remote display protocols?

Ericom Blaze is a robust display protocol that exceeds the performance of the latest versions of RDP including RDP 7, across a latent / low bandwidth connection, or for complex graphics or animation displays. Moreover, performing introspection on the RDP client from within, Ericom Blaze surpasses the performance of competing software and hardware- based remote solutions that modify the RDP protocol only externally.

Use Cases

Ericom Blaze performs particularly well in scenarios where RDP performance normally degrades the user experience, such as over low-bandwidth, high latency WANs, or congested LANs. Some of the most common use cases include remote office and branch computing, mobile / home-based workers, outsourced / offshore workforces, and cloud-hosted virtual desktops and applications.
