10ZiG Technology unveiled new migration guidance for Omnissa Horizon® users currently relying on the PCoIP® protocol. With Omnissa setting end-of-life plans for PCoIP in its existing Horizon implementation, 10ZiG is offering a seamless, fully supported transition to Blast Extreme or PCoIP Ultra, ensuring organizations preserve strong user experiences and sustain long-term endpoint compatibility.
Omnissa has stated that the final Extended Service Branch (ESB) release supporting PCoIP is expected in Q1 2026. After that, all new Horizon client releases will remove the existing PCoIP option. Customers running ESB versions will remain supported for approximately three years beyond that date, but migration planning should begin now to avoid service disruption.
“The sunset of the original version of PCoIP is closer than many realize,” said Kevin Greenway, CTO, 10ZiG Technology. “With the next ESB branch marking the final version to include PCoIP support, now is the time for Horizon customers to evaluate their next step. 10ZiG endpoints are fully optimized for Omnissa Blast Extreme and PCoIP Ultra, providing a simple, secure, and performance-driven migration path.”
Simplify migration and optimize performance
10ZiG’s thin and zero clients are purpose-built to deliver exceptional performance with Omnissa Blast Extreme or PCoIP, offering:
- Enhanced graphics and multimedia performance with hardware acceleration and modern codecs, including high fidelity graphics and lossless imaging
- Centralized endpoint management via the free, cloud-ready 10ZiG Manager™ platform
- Flexible deployment options across on-premises, hybrid, and DaaS environments
- Future-ready design supporting the latest Blast Extreme features and updates
10ZiG’s migration assistance includes technical guidance, environment assessments, and configuration support to ensure a smooth transition from PCoIP to Blast Extreme or PCoIP Ultra. The company’s engineering team is available to help customers validate endpoints and complete migrations before the existing PCoIP EOL timeline expires.
“This is both a warning and an opportunity,” added Greenway. “We offer hardware and software that is both PCoIP Ultra and Blast Extreme capable in a single solution. As such, organizations can use this as a transition solution to modernize their endpoint strategy, simplify management, and improve user experience to Blast Extreme via 10ZiG.”
PCoIP end-of-life timeline
10ZiG urges customers to begin planning their migrations now to avoid end-of-support risks and take advantage of Blast Extreme’s performance and efficiency benefits. Important dates to know include:
- Q1 2026: Final Omnissa ESB release supporting PCoIP
- Through 2028–2029: Approximate support window for ESB customers
- Post-2029: End of all official PCoIP support in Horizon
