Ericom has just announced Ericom Blaze, a breakthrough in RDP acceleration and compression, which makes RDP, well, blazingly fast. I'm extremely excited about Ericom Blaze because it can overcome both bandwidth and latency limitations to provide significantly enhanced end-user experience on both WAN and LAN. This is crucial for successful SBC and VDI deployments. Ericom Blaze achieves this by performing three key operations:
- Compresses RDP by a factor of 10 or more (in some cases much more)
- Performs packet shaping to optimize network utilization, and to speed up transmission
- Intelligent frame display renders screens as single units rather than as a sequence of blocks
Check out this video comparing Ericom Blaze with standard RDP 6:
Some important information about Ericom Blaze:
- Ericom Blaze will be available both as a feature of PowerTerm WebConnect and as a stand-alone product. In addition it will support VMware View Commercial client and Open client for Linux (support for VMware View client for Windows is scheduled for early next year).
- Ericom Blaze is a software-only solution. It does not require specialized hardware on either the client or the host.
- Ericom Blaze works with any standard RDP host, including Terminal Servers, virtual desktops (VDI) and remote physical machines.
- Ericom Blaze is compatible with the RDP server platforms from Windows XP all the way to Windows 7 (both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) for all platforms).
- On the client-side, Ericom Blaze supports Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and various Linux distributions. Versions for Mac and Windows CE will be available later this year.

Hi,
When will Blaze support Audio on a Windows 7 Host ?
Thanks
@anon, audio support for Windows 7 host should be available as part of the next Blaze release, which should be available in a couple of weeks.
Is it possible to establish a console mode RDP connection through Blaze?
Thanks,
Hans.
@HansBc
I Assume you mean console sessions. If so, the answer is Yes. Use the -0 command-line switch when launching the Blaze Client.
Thanks, EricomGuy.
The desktop icon does not allow me to add a switch, it is linked to an installer executable.
Using a desktop link to Blaze.exe and adding the switch there only shows the Ericom splash image which immediately disappears. Same if I invoke Blaze.exe from a command line prompt. No messages in the Windows event log.
I tried -0, -o and -O (zero, small letter o and capital letter O; I assume zero is the correct one) which did not make a difference.
I also added the line
administrative session:i:1
to the .rdp file which didn't help either.
Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Hans.
@HansBc,
Please contact Ericom support and they will help you with this.

I have two specific questions about Ericom Blaze:
-> is it possible to pass all commands to the client by commandline. It's a no go for us that a user has to enter quality and target.
-> Can i run the client portable from a external device like USB ?
Thanks for a short answer
@Micha,
Thank you for your interest in Ericom Blaze. In general I prefer not to answer such specific technical questions on my blog as it is not the appropriate tool for one-to-one conversations. But in this case I will make an exception :) The answer to both your questions is Yes. For more information please contact Ericom Support: support@ericom.com or use our contact page.
