Arch Platform Technologies, the leading provider of hybrid cloud workstation infrastructure, today announced a comprehensive transition framework to migrate displaced HP Anyware (formerly Teradici) users to Arch and the Amazon DCV high-performance VDI client solution for on-prem and/or cloud. As a long-standing partner of HP and a pioneer in high-performance Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Arch Platform Technologies’ framework addresses the significant market shift caused by the discontinuation of HP Anyware.
The Market Inflection Point
HP Anyware has served as a cornerstone for industries requiring high-fidelity, low-latency remote display protocols, particularly in Media & Entertainment, Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), Product Development & Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Finance. Its scheduled end-of-life (EOL) creates a critical void for organizations that rely on PCoIP technology to deliver pixel-perfect workstation experiences.
"HP Anyware has been a vital component of the remote workstation ecosystem, and we value the years of partnership that allowed us to deliver elite performance to our clients," said Edward Churchward, CTO at Arch Platform Technologies. "However, the industry does not stand still. As HP Anyware sunsets, Arch is uniquely prepared, working closely with Amazon, to lead the market forward and ensure the transition from legacy VDI to modern, scalable hybrid cloud infrastructure is not just a migration, but an upgrade."
The Arch Advantage: A Unified Path to Amazon DCV
Arch Platform Technologies is positioned as the premier SaaS hybrid cloud workstation solution built on AWS to facilitate this transition. Leveraging Amazon DCV, the high-performance remote display protocol provides a secure way to deliver remote desktops and application streaming. Arch offers a superior solution in the transition from the outgoing HP Anyware stack.
Key pillars of the Arch transition include:
Comprehensive VDI Brokering: Unlike limited VDI client solutions, Arch provides a "single pane of glass" to broker and manage on-premises and cloud-based workstation resources. This allows for a hybrid approach during the time-phased EOL of HP Anyware.
Seamless Migration Paths: Arch enables enterprises to easily transition their existing workflows to Amazon DCV with minimal downtime, preserving user experience and performance requirements. The Arch Platform supports comprehensive identity provider (IdP) and active directory integration.
Arch & Amazon DCV Leadership: Arch is natively built on AWS and leverages Amazon DCV to provide quick, seamless broker and VDI client connectivity for both on-prem and/or cloud workstations, delivering a class-leading end-user experience. Users are able to connect their local device to on-prem or cloud workstations, supporting up to 4K displays.
Optimized Cost Management: Arch is a full workstation infrastructure orchestration solution that includes brokering and the Amazon DCV client. DCV has far lower cost for on-prem remote connectivity, it’s free for AWS cloud, and Arch + AWS saves clients up to 50% on their scalable AWS cloud workstation infrastructure.
Navigating the Transition
The discontinuation of HP Anyware requires a proactive, phased approach to VDI infrastructure management. Arch Platform Technologies is currently working with global enterprise clients to review their existing PCoIP deployments and implement Amazon DCV-based environments that meet or exceed previous performance standards.
The combination of Arch’s sophisticated orchestration layer and AWS’s robust global infrastructure ensures that creative and technical professionals can continue to work from anywhere without the looming uncertainty of hardware or software obsolescence.
