Good morning,
I'm looking into buying a workstation (T5810) from Dell, and see they offer Teradici Remote Workstation Access Host Cards. They have three options:
-Remote Access Host Card, Tera2, Full Height [add $246.00]
-Dell Tera2 PCoIP Quad Display Host Card (Full Height) [add $487.50]
-Two Dell Tera2 PCoIP Quad Display Host Cards (Full Height) [add $975.00]
These interest me because I would love to be able to access this workstation from my laptop, as the workstation will have a much better processor, GPU, RAM, etc. for computational work. But I have no idea how these work.
Here are my questions:
(1) If I purchase a remote access card for the T5810, I will then be able to access the workstation remotely from a laptop or another computer, correct? Does this other computer (laptop, for example) need special hardware, or just software?
(2) Based on some googling, it looks like the Tera2 cards have an ethernet port on the card. Is this correct, and does this mean I need a second ethernet connection for the computer? One for the Tera2 card and one for motherboard ethernet port?
(3) What is the difference between the "Remote Access Host Card, Tera2, Full Height" and the "Dell Tera2 PCoIP Quad Display Host Card (Full Height)" other than the $200 difference in price?
I have tried searching online, but have only found limited instructions and information on these cards. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
