This article shares tips about deciding how to connect to your upcoming Nutanix Hosted Proof of Concept (HPOC) session.

You'll receive communications from your Nutanix Representative containing the necessary login credentials and URLs to complete the session. We offer three tools to help you securely access your HPOC session. All options will use the same provided lab credentials and are easy to install, configure, and use. If your representative does not have a preference, you're free to choose between the three options below:


VPN

VPN is a great choice if you wish to use dual monitors, or have native tools you need to use during your session. Ivanti Secure Connect requires that you download, install, and configure the VPN client.


VDI

For closer proximity to the environment without downloading and installing a client, choose between the two Virtual Desktop Infrastructure applications. Note that with VDI, you don't have to download and install a client, but it is recommended for the best user experience. With VDI, you'll have access to shared folders and command line tools.
