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 (organisational 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 centralised management interface for all thin
client devices, you can opt for low-cost thin clients
without OS & management software. This is the most
expensive part of a thin client and can increase the
per thin client cost.
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!
