NICE DCV has been rebranded to Amazon DCV with the 2024.0 release along with several fixes and enhancements for improved performance, security, and ease of use.
Amazon DCV provides high-performance remote display protocol that enables you to securely deliver remote desktops and application streaming from any cloud or data center to any device.
Using Amazon DCV with Amazon EC2, you can run graphics-intensive applications remotely on EC2 instances and then stream results to client machines which eliminates the need for expensive dedicated workstations.
DCV supports Windows and major Linux operating systems on the server side and the client side could be the native DCV client for Windows, Linux, or macOS or web browsers.
DCV remote server and client transfer only encrypted pixels, not data, so no confidential data is downloaded from the DCV server and the services scale globally.
DCV has been used by several industries such as healthcare, game development, ERP services provider, automotive engineers, geoscientists, engineers in manufacturing, and IT support industries for collaborative sessions.
AppStream 2.0 uses DCV to offer secure, reliable, and scalable application streaming while Amazon WorkSpaces Streaming Protocol (WSP), which is built on DCV and optimized for high performance, is available for Amazon WorkSpaces customers.
DCV 2024.0 supports latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and enables the QUIC UDP protocol by default with the capability to blank the Linux host screen when a remote user is connected, preventing local access and interaction with the remote session.
Amazon DCV is free of charges when used on AWS. You only pay for the usage of AWS resources or services.
Overall, Amazon DCV is a powerful tool to connect your cloud and data center to your client devices with high performance, security, and scalability.
