PCoIP remote workstation technology — now HP Anyware, on a vendor-announced end-of-life path.
Part of HP Inc. · Also known as: Teradici, HP Anyware, PCoIP
Formerly Teradici
Teradici's PCoIP technology became HP Anyware — with an announced end-of-life and support timeline to plan around.
Teradici
PCoIP protocol for high-fidelity remote workstations.
HP acquisition
The product becomes HP Anyware.
Announced
HP publishes an end-of-life and support timeline; check current HP notices for dates.
Workstation or cloud VM runs applications.
PCoIP encodes pixels, not data.
Only display updates cross the network.
Users interact from clients or zero clients.
Existing Anyware estates need professional operation while a successor is chosen. Stabilize and document the current deployment, then run a structured evaluation of alternatives against workloads.
No rushed migration; a planned transition on a timeline that fits within the support window.
The EOL announcement forces a decision the estate was not ready to make. Assess workloads (graphics intensity, latency, security), then design the target on current VDI, cloud workstations or DaaS options.
A successor architecture chosen on requirements, not vendor pressure.
Regulated graphics workloads cannot tolerate an unsupported gap. Sequence migration so supported operation overlaps the new platform until parity is proven.
Continuous compliance and performance through the transition.
Evaluating an Anyware transition means weighing the remaining support window through October 2029 against how soon a successor platform should be selected. Workload assessment (graphics intensity, latency, security) should drive successor platform evaluation and architecture rather than vendor timelines alone. Phased migration with coexistence, and a clear operational handover plan, reduce the risk of a compressed, deadline-driven cutover.
Questions buyers ask
Yes — HP has published end-of-life plans: sales ending in 2026 and support continuing through October 2029 per HP's official notice. Existing deployments remain supported on that timeline.
Operating through the support window is legitimate; betting new long-term architecture on it is not. Starting successor evaluation early enough to migrate without deadline pressure is recommended.
Current VDI platforms, cloud workstation services and DaaS offerings — the right answer depends on graphics intensity, latency, security and cost per workload class, evaluated against actual workloads.
Yes — stabilization, documentation and supported operation, in parallel with transition design, so the estate is never a hostage to the plan.
