2X Software Releases 2X ThinClientServer Version 6.2

2X Software has announced the release of the 2X ThinClientServer Version 6.2. Building on the success of the 2X ThinClientServer Version 6, 2X Software's latest release includes new features enhancing the performance, functionality and scalability of its popular thin client management system.

Thin Clients Vital for Future IT Infrastructures

With the increasing popularity of VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), demand for manageable and affordable thin client solutions continues to rise. Companies are increasingly using virtualization to allow users to utilize thin clients, laptops or USB devices to recreate their computing environment in secure, controlled settings, removing much of the expense of managing hundreds or thousands of fat client desktops.

How the 2X ThinClientServer Works

The 2X ThinClientServer deploys a small-footprint Linux-based OS to popular thin client devices (HP, Wyse, VXL, 10ZiG, Samsung and more) or PCs and laptops. Attached devices boot the latest version of the OS, either locally or from the 2X ThinClientServer. Hardware and connection settings (resolution, logging and more) can be retrieved from the server at client logon, allowing easy thin client management.

2X ThinClientServer 6.2 new features:
• VMware View VDI client support
• VNC client support
• Hardware-accelerated support for Citrix Rave
• Full redundancy and backup
• Advanced master/slave concept
• Detailed auditing of all management modifications
• Real-time TCS monitoring for administrators
• Extended hardware support
• Improved 2X ThinClientOS desktop experience
• Updated login screen with reboot and shutdown options
• Webcam support
• Local and remote volume controls
• Customizable SNMP community string.
