Case Study: Gulfeagle Supply achieves dramatic remote-access performance and seamless training video streaming with Ericom Software (Ericom Blaze)

Gulfeagle Supply deploys Ericom Blaze with VMware View and improves the remote access user experience

Gulfeagle Supply, a national roofing and building-products distributor with 400 employees across more than 50 locations, faced aging desktops and poor remote access performance—particularly when streaming Flash-based training videos—due to bandwidth constraints and PCoIP limitations. The company needed faster desktop provisioning, improved manageability and security, and a better user experience, so it evaluated options and implemented VMware View together with Ericom Software’s Ericom Blaze RDP accelerator.

Ericom Software deployed Ericom Blaze on VMware View virtual desktops and pushed Blaze clients to 10ZiG thin clients, accelerating RDP to reduce bandwidth use and smooth video playback. The Ericom Software solution enabled reliable streaming of training videos, improved application responsiveness, reduced remote-desktop complaints, protected Gulfeagle’s VMware investment, added SSL encryption, and delivered a light‑footprint, cost‑effective thin‑client rollout that increased productivity.
