Ericom To Announces Blaze: A Technology to Optimize RDP |

This information is not entirely clear yet but after the news was "leaked" by a couple of the Ericom Thin Client partners I was able to find out more. To me it sounds a WHOLE lot like Quest EOP but I may be wrong. Ericom Blaze transforms RDP into a fast, responsive, and extremely efficient remote display protocol that dramatically reduces bandwidth consumption and optimizes RDP network traffic across the WAN/LAN and slow bandwidth connections. With these dramatic and productivity-enhancing improvements to the end-user experience, Ericom Blaze enables the reality of deploying and scaling desktop virtualization (VDI), Terminal Services and thin client computing to remote / mobile users, branch offices and clouds – quickly and cost-effectively. How Does It Work?Blaze performs three key operations to compress RDP by up to 98% and to transmit data up to 25 times faster than RDP:
How does Blaze compare with other remote display protocols?Ericom Blaze is a robust display protocol that exceeds the performance of the latest versions of RDP including RDP 7, across a latent / low bandwidth connection, or for complex graphics or animation displays. Moreover, performing introspection on the RDP client from within, Ericom Blaze surpasses the performance of competing software and hardware- based remote solutions that modify the RDP protocol only externally. Use CasesEricom Blaze performs particularly well in scenarios where RDP performance normally degrades the user experience, such as over low-bandwidth, high latency WANs, or congested LANs. Some of the most common use cases include remote office and branch computing, mobile / home-based workers, outsourced / offshore workforces, and cloud-hosted virtual desktops and applications.

Actually news about Ericom Blaze was first "leaked" at this year's BriForum. At the BriForum DEMO Lab James Lui, Ericom's Director of Technical Services, demoed a pre-release version of Ericom Blaze:
