Does Apple have an equivalent to HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) for remote desktop?

Just saw a demo on an HP Z8 with RGS and a mac mini accessing it, playing back a full 4k/60p video clip at full speed, 20-30MBps bandwidth, and full control of the HP desktop workstation. Its like VDI of steriods.

Does Apple or another company have software that will allow me to do the same. I'd like to be able to access my desktop at full speed remotely from anyplace in the world via my MBP.

Not that I'm aware of, much of this server-client tie-in is geared to Windows and Linux - HP has licensed their product to several companies (see "ClearCube") but they've all focused on selling you one or more servers and zero/thin clients that are either Windows or Linux based. I've got a Z3 in one of my offices and I've tried the Mac receiver, it's not a product I'm relying on given that almost all of the servers I've seen are Nvidia-based. HP's "fix" for sender performance to client AMD/Intel GPUs came out with the unofficial 7.3.1 build, which required that build be installed on the client as well but the Mac utility is stuck on the current stable build of 7.3 - so the client experience isn't really that smooth IMHO.

HP hasn't issued a stable build (important to me!) since 7.3 or an unofficial build beyond 7.3.2 for 14 months. Red Hat's SPICE going open source pretty much killed the value of competing SW, so the questions I get from my vendors is along the lines of how many servers and clients I want to buy.

I'm encouraged by your experience, with Nvidia's Cloud for gaming gaining speed and eGPUs potentially allowing for Macs with Nvidia cards - this space is all about Nvidia Quadro GPUs. HP got their hands on this as early as November 2003, with RGS evolving in 2008 it's about time RGS is seeing the light of day again. I'm going to give my HP vendor a call next week and ask her "where's my demo?" 😳
