These desktop virtualization clients areavailable fromCisco AppHQand havebeen optimized torun onCisco
Cius. Do not download generic versions of these applications from other application repositories.
Desktop virtualization technologies may offer a degraded level of performance when remotely accessing
audio, video and interactive multimedia resources. Unlike other desktop virtualization endpoints, Cisco Cius
features a local voice and video media plane which enables Cius to connect to media traffic through the device
itself and outside of the remote desktop display protocol. For example, two Cisco Cius users in the same
branch can call each other using Cisco Unified Personal Communicator running on their remote virtual desktop
and, while the control (signaling) plane resides in the data center, the audio and video connection between
the users never leaves the branch. The branch network applies packet prioritization to the RTP flow, and the
two Cius connect directly to each other without the need for the voice to traverse the WAN twice to reach the
data center. This delivers the best quality experience for audio and video collaboration without inflating the
bandwidth consumption over the WAN.
The desktop virtualization experience on Cius includes keyboard and mouse support when the Cius is docked
in the HD media station. However, the desktop virtualization clients retain the touch-mode behavior, and
some keyboard and mouse actions may differ from a typical Microsoft Windows experience. For a description
of supported keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions, refer to the USB Keyboard and Mouse section of this
guide.

product description for each application in Cisco AppHQ.
