Customers are able to implement a custom session resolver for NICE DCV Connection Gateways using serverless AWS services. This approach provides a secure endpoint that resolves DCV connections at scale without requiring dedicated infrastructure. Administrators benefit from the built-in high availability, increase in agility, and cost optimizations offered by serverless technology. End users connecting through […]

Fully managed Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions have become increasingly popular in recent years. This is due to their ability to provide flexible and efficient access to remote desktop environments from anywhere. Using a managed service reduces the burden of CAPEX risks, maintenance, and costly, lengthy hardware upgrades. AWS offers fully managed End User Computing […]

When using system authentication, Windows-based NICE DCV servers delegate client authentication to the underlying operating system. Upon authentication, DCV validates the DCV permissions, which specify the users that are allowed to access the session stream and the features they can use. Dynamically setting DCV session permissions allows administrators to automate session permissions based on specific […]

NICE DCV is a high-performance remote display protocol that provides additional authentication flexibility through DCV external authentication. For a user to gain access to a secure DCV session stream, they must be authenticated against the display protocol. By default, DCV uses system authentication, which delegates authentication to the underlying operating system. With using external authentication, customers […]

AWS customers looking to experience the NICE DCV streaming protocol can now utilize the latest DCV AWS CloudFormation template. This template is intended for proof-of-concepts and deploys a single Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance preconfigured with DCV server ready to accept connections. This is an automated way to gain firsthand experience of the DCV high-performance […]

The Leostream Platform offers a variety of components that provide an intuitive way for remote end users to securely access NICE DCV servers. The Leostream platform consolidates the IT management of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, as well as prioritizes the security posture of your deployment. Through its interface, end users visualize their resources through a high-performance […]

Customers ask if it is possible to optimize NICE DCV session latency with AWS Local Zones. This blog post demonstrates how to stream Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) sessions with NICE DCV from AWS Local Zones to remote users. Geospatial distance between remote end users and compute infrastructure is one of the greatest contributors […]

Note: [August 2024 update] The steps in this blog have been automated with the dcv-gw-sm-without-pipelines AWS CDK hosted in dcv-samples. In this blog, you walk through configuring a NICE DCV Connection Gateway to provide secure access sessions managed by NICE DCV Session Manager. NICE DCV is a high-performance remote display protocol. DCV provides a secure […]
