IP phone integration aside, there is little to distinguish these devices from the numerous competitively priced alternatives provided by established thin client vendors.  Both the VXC 2100 and 2200 both support RDP, HDX and PCoIP, nevertheless with no legacy base to take into consideration, Cisco could have looked to integrate support for HDX and PCoIP in a single device. Providing support for both Citrix and VMware’s remote display protocols from the same client device, would have strengthened Cisco’s position as being platform agnostic and been of substantial benefit to Cisco’s potential customers who would then be able to make changes to the supporting desktop virtualization software platform without having to undertake a wholesale desktop replacement at the same time. As it is, both devices will come in two versions, 1 created to support Citrix’s HDX protocol and also the other supporting the VMware/Teradici PCoIP protocol, support for RDP is provided on both devices.
