Easy moving to thin client computing

2X ThinClientServer

You can order this product 2X ThinClientServer directly at the vendor now (list of items)

2X ThinClientServer makes the move to thin client computing easy by delivering a solution to convert existing PCs to thin clients and centrally manage thin client devices from almost any vendor (HP, Neoware, Wyse, Maxspeed and more). User's connection & device hardware settings (RDP / ICA / NX, screen size, Applications that users have access to, Terminal Server name and more) can be controlled centrally by device, user, group or department (Active Directory / LDAP) via the web based interface.

Features

• Thin client vendor independent
  Use thin clients from different vendors, old/existing computers, or new low cost computers - and manage all these thin clients through one consistent and open interface. Rather than having to commit to one particular thin client vendor from whom to buy all your hardware, you get the freedom to choose and the possibility to re-use your existing computer hardware.
• Web-based management interface
  Thin client devices and users’ connection settings can be managed centrally via the web management interface. It shows currently active thin clients and user sessions, generates reports and includes a centralized database of thin client Syslog events, for easy troubleshooting.
• Limit user access to Citrix or 2X published applications, not a whole desktop
  2X ThinClientServer deploys a secure, read-only desktop to the thin client, which looks exactly like Windows XP, however only shows Citrix or 2X published applications in the task bar. This way you can control what applications a user has access to, without having to worry about locking down the Windows desktop. Since the thin client desktop is read-only it is completely secure from viruses, spyware and more.
• Manage user’s connection settings centrally
  Centrally configure user’s connection settings such as Terminal server name, type (RDP, Citrix ICA or NX), screen resolution and more. There is no need to push out these connection settings to the thin client devices, since they are retrieved when the user logs on.
• Supports local media and printers
  Locally connected printers or storage devices are supported seamlessly. Printers will show up in the list of printers on the user’s desktop, and local media will appear in Windows explorer just like other media.
• How it works
  2X ThinClientServer deploys a small footprint Linux-based OS to old PCs, new low cost PCs and to popular thin client devices (HP, Neoware, Wyse, Maxspeed and more). Thin clients always boot the latest version of the OS from the ThinClientServer. Hardware & connection settings (including resolution, logging and more) are retrieved from the server when the client logs on, making thin clients easy to manage.
• Connection settings are managed based on username, department or thin client
  Most thin client management software can only configure connection settings based on device. 2X ThinClientServer links connection settings to Active Directory/LDAP usernames, groups or OU’s (organizational units). This reduces the administration involved with adding users and managing roaming users.
• Convert old PCs to powerful thin clients
  2X ThinClientServer allows you to extend the life span of your current computers by converting them to thin clients. Re-using your old PCs or extending the life span of your current ones adds up to considerable savings over time.
• Server runs on Windows or Linux
  2X ThinClientServer is available for both Windows or Linux servers. The Windows version includes a TFTP server for deployment of the OS.
• Use low cost thin clients
  Because 2X ThinClientServer includes a thin client OS and a centralized management interface for all thin client devices, you can opt for low-cost thin clients without OS & management software.
• Thin client computing: reduced administration and end user support
  Administrators can enjoy greatly reduced support and administration: Thin clients are far easier to manage since the thin client OS is deployed centrally and only includes a remote terminal client. Only the servers need to be managed, meaning that deploying patches, applications and virus updates is far easier. Enforcing desktop settings and backing up user files is easier too. Better security and fault tolerance is achieved by using RAID, load balancing and housing the Terminal Servers in a secure, air-conditioned server room. Helping users is simple too: Just shadow their session in real time and find out exactly what is happening without getting off your chair.
