Anyone who’s ever used Adobe Acrobat Reader, or any other PDF reader on Windows Terminal Services or via Remote Desktop knows that it’s painfully slow over RDP.  Most of the videos we’ve posted demonstrating Quest’s EOP Graphics Acceleration have shown web content, as it’s usually the biggest pain point for Terminal Services & VDI users. 

It’s important to note that Quest EOP accelerates all graphical elements of the Terminal Services or VDI display, and in the video below I demonstrate, side-by-side, the difference between Microsoft RDP and Quest EOP when viewing a PDF with Acrobat Reader 9.0 over a WAN connection.  The connection was from my notebook computer in San Diego, CA to two virtual desktops in Reston, VA, via my Verizon wireless cellular card.  This connection was also tunneled thru Quest’s Secure-IT SSL Gateway.  The bandwidth of this connection is approximately 384Kbps and the latency of the connection is approximately 175ms.
