Matrox Graphics' Matrox Epica TC20+ dual monitor and TC48 quad monitor are low-profile, multi-display graphics cards for enhanced functionality and workspace in cloud computing environments. Working in conjunction with the Wyse Technology Z90DE7 high-performance thin client, the cards enable up to six displays from a single system, when combined with Z90DE7's two native graphics outputs. The additional monitor space allows for on-screen access to one or more single or multi-monitor published desktops or applications.

Co-validated for use with the Z90DE7 and the PCI Express bus interface design, the Epica TC20+ and TC48 graphics cards enable a variety of multi-display configurations and options for multi-display thin-client users. The dual-monitor TC20+ supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (digital) and 2048 x 1536 (analog) per display and up to four VGA displays via an optional upgrade. The TC48 supports up to four DVI or DisplayPort monitors at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, supporting up to six displays from a single thin client. Users can subsequently open one or multiple remote sessions on each display or span a single spreadsheet, for example, across several monitors.

System administrators can manage users' multi-display and multi-GPU thin clients via a single graphics user interface, the Matrox PowerDesk software suite, which comes bundled with Epica cards. PowerDesk supports multi-GPU configurations as well as features designed to enhance multi-display workspaces.
