HP Cloud Connection Manager (HPCCM) is a client utility that allows administrators of HP thin clients to configure the automatic launch of virtual desktop clients and connections that initiate when standard users (non-administrators) log on to Windows®.

Features of HPCCM include the following:

●RemoteFX works out-of-the-box for Microsoft® RDP connections.

●Failover connections can be assigned for connections using the Citrix ICA or Microsoft RDP protocol.
