LG Electronics Inc partnered with Amazon Web Services last month to deliver hundreds of advanced monitors at the 2015 AWS Re:Invent user conference. The monitors were used to showcase LG Electronics cloud-based virtual computing solution, according to the press release.

The event, which took place on Oct. 6-9, was attended by developers, engineers, system administrators and other IT professionals. At the event, LG Electronics deployed about 200 24-inch Zero Client Tera 2 V-Series monitors. The monitors used a Teradici PCoIP processor and Amazon Workspaces to deliver a cloud-based computing solution. Since the service is based on zero client virtualization software, it is designed to allow a single server to support more monitors.

"By supporting the AWS Re:Invent conference, LG is further solidifying that charge by giving industry decision-makers a hands-on experience so they can truly realize the benefits of this new technology," said Garry Wicka, head of marketing for LG Electronics USA commercial displays.

Since this system was designed without a central processing unit or operating system, it reduces the risk of viruses, spyware and hacking, according to the release.

"The AWS Hands-on Lab featuring PCoIP-based Amazon WorkSpaces and LG all-in-one zero client monitors is a testament to the benefits of PCoIP technology," said Jayesh Shah, vice president of product management at Teradici. "PCoIP Zero Clients deliver content via encrypted pixels ­ not data ­ for comprehensive security and the highest quality remote user experience making them the ideal end-point devices for virtual computing."
