Good day,
Today Dell has released version 2.1 of the vWorkspace Connector for iOS. This release marks a major step up in performance and functionality.
First and foremost is the addition of RemoteFX support which will provide the benefits of Microsoft's RemoteFX codec for RDP connections made with the iOS Connector.
Allow your users to make connections to vWorkspace enabled virtual desktops running Windows or Linux to securely access corporate applications and data.
The use cases are endless, with one of the chief uses being users bringing their own iPads into the office. Enable BYOD, keep the data on your servers, and allow anywhere-anytime access.
Listed below are the new features included in this release.
RemoteFX Support
This release of the vWorkspace Connector for iOS upgrades its support for Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol by adding the RemoteFX codec to its toolset.

This improvement is the first step in providing support for the latest features of RDP 8.0.
