X Server is a virtual desktop that is very effective for Codio’s cloud based infrastructure. Any application that relies on a graphical user interface has its graphical output redirected to it and Codio’s viewer is then able to display the virtual desktop in a browser.

As you will see when trying out applications you can get a very good experience indeed. Limitations start to be felt when using fast motion graphics where the virtual screen content is changing so fast that it cannot be rendered in real time over the internet. If you have better bandwidth you will experience better performance and vice-versa.
