LAS VEGAS, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In a unique collaboration between LG Electronics and Amazon Web Services (AWS), hundreds of advanced monitors from LG will amplify the interactive experience at the 2015 AWS Re:Invent user conference, which starts here today.

As AWS Re:Invent's Titanium Sponsor, LG Electronics USA is providing its Zero Client Tera 2 V-Series and IPS monitors for a hands-on lab that will leverage LG's advanced technology capable of delivering a powerful, secure virtual computing solution for various industry settings. The Oct. 6-9 event is widely attended by developers, engineers, system administrators, systems architects and technical decision makers who are looking for the latest innovations geared toward helping companies create cost-efficient and streamlined IT infrastructures.

"LG's alliance with Amazon and AWS is a perfect example of our company's commitment to making 'Innovation for a Better Business' a reality," said Garry Wicka, head of marketing for LG Electronics USA commercial displays. "By supporting the AWS Re:Invent conference, LG is further solidifying that charge by giving industry decision-makers a hands-on experience so they can truly realize the benefits of this new technology."

Industry leaders can visit the AWS hands-on lab throughout the conference, where about 200 LG 24-inch Zero Client Tera 2 V-Series (Model 24CAV37K-B) monitors for high performance advanced computing will be on display. The LG Cloud Monitor system utilizes a Teradici® PCoIP® processor and Amazon WorkSpaces to deliver a powerful and secure virtual solution that broadens integrated computing beyond design labs to offices and classrooms. The zero client virtualization software enables a single server to support more monitors than previously possible. With no central processing unit or operating system, PCoIP Zero Clients greatly reduce the risk of viruses, spyware and hacking – proving to be well-suited for security-critical organizations.

"The AWS Hands-on Lab featuring PCoIP-based Amazon WorkSpaces and LG all-in-one zero client monitors is a testament to the benefits of PCoIP technology. PCoIP Zero Clients deliver content via encrypted pixels – not data – for comprehensive security and the highest quality remote user experience making them the ideal end-point devices for virtual computing," says Jayesh Shah, Teradici's Vice President of Product Management.

"LG Zero Client technology helps cut costs and creates a more efficient, fast and secure computing environment, without sacrificing performance," said Wicka. "AWS is the perfect complement to LG's Zero Client and IPS Monitors, allowing attending end-users to experience a high-quality cloud desktop experience."

The lab will also include nearly 200 LG IPS Monitors (Model 24MB35P-B) that combine the wide viewing angle capabilities of IPS technology with the superior picture quality of LED backlighting and ENERGY STAR® efficiency. IPS panels minimize image distortion at wide viewing angles and provide high picture quality to offer original image color matching. IPS panels create a viewing experience that is watchable from virtually any angle.

The zero client monitors will also be on display at LG's 2015 AWS booth (#224) with interactive demonstrations to showcase the benefits of cloud-based desktops, Teradici PCoIP Management Console Enterprise Edition and IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology.
