Thinc-Remote
Thinc-Remote
is a generic product that can be used in large number of situations,
not just a
tailored
made software package. Potential customers are both private users
and small to large organizations.
Any organization that uses Microsoft Windows and is considering, for
whatever reason, to use Microsoft Terminal Server solutions, should
consider Thinc-Remote first, because it is easier and cheaper to
deploy, but mostly because of the easy and relaxed license terms.
Benefits
Thinc-Remote has all the benefits of a Terminal Server but not the
restrictions:
- One license per server. One fixed price per server.
- Unlimited, multiple concurrent remote desktop
sessions.
- Unlimited performance, using the Load Balancing of
our Farm solution.
(Enterprise only)
- Application Control and Publishing. Give your users
only the applications they need.
- Seamless Windows & Desktops.
- Integrated web server for an online desktop portal
using browser access.
- Small version and
Enterprise
version available.
- Runs on Windows XP Pro SP2,
Vista
and Windows Server 2003.
Application
Control and Publishing
You can deliver one or more Applications to your users or groups
WITHOUT a desktop (Citrix-like functionality). The users are
restricted to those Applications you want them to use. Please
download the manual and read the full potential of our Application
Control.
Extra
Productivity on Windows Servers
Thinc-Remote on Windows Server gives you functionality similar or
better then Citrix, but not for the Citrix price tag. Seamless
desktops, Application Control, Web Server for Remote Desktops, and
Load Balancing, all in one package.
Unlimited Performance
Several Thinc-Remote servers can work together in a Farm with the
objective to share the load of the users. Once again, there is no
limit in our solution; you can have as many servers work together as
you need. The only limits are within your own infrastructure.
You can mix Windows XP Professional SP2,
Vista
and Windows Server - all running Thinc-Remote Enterprise, in one big
Thinc-Remote Farm.
Total Cost of Ownership
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of owning and using several PC's
and servers is determined by three factors:
- The cost of hardware.
- The cost of software / licenses.
- The cost of keeping the PC's and servers running.
When you want to run "up-to-date" software on all your
PC's and servers, you end op buying new hardware and new software
licenses every 2 and 3 years. Your old hardware is still working,
but it can no longer be used for the most recent version of your
business software. Next to this, you need a skilled professional for
several hours a week or day that will assist you in fixing the
continuous stream of problems with the PC's and servers.
When using Thinc-Remote, you can cut down on the all the three types
of costs. Suppose you have 50 employees:
- You
can still use your old, "out of date" hardware. You
don't have to buy 50 new PC's, but only 1 or 2 which will be
equipped with the Thinc-Remote software.
- Your old "out of date" hardware that is not
capable of running application anymore are now accessing via our
client agent TRCC (Thinc Remote Client Connecter) Now the only thing these old PC's
are doing is a remote desktop session allowing re -use of older
equipment as well as the chances
are much smaller that one of those PC's will become corrupted, infected,
instable, etc. Of course, your 2 PC's with Thinc-Remote are now
used by all the users, but if you have to worry only about
securing and configuring 2 PC's, the job of PC-maintenance will
be easier and cheaper.
Integrated web server for an
Online Desktop Portal
The integrated web server gives the company an easy solution for an
online desktop portal. Using a browser, employees can surf to the
Thinc-Remote Presentation Server and get a company desktop. The
look-and-feel of the online desktop portal and its functionality can
be customized.
Run the Application you want
to run
- All
the users and all your applications that are already available
on your Windows XP Professional system, or all the users that
are defined in your Domain, can now use the system using Remote
Desktops.
- Most
likely your old DOS-application will run fine on an Thinc-Remote
Presentation Server
in combination with Windows XP Pro SP2.
- Every application that can be installed on Windows XP
Professional, can still be installed after the installation of
the Thinc-Remote solution. For example, your average Microsoft
Office product will run fine on a System with the Thinc-Remote
solution which is not the case with Microsoft Terminal Services
In these cases, costs are an issue. Consider the use of Open
Office. It works fine on an Thinc-Remote server.
Please note: Some software companies do not allow you to use their
software by multiple users. Other software companies want you to buy
separate licenses for each user. You should read all your software
licenses carefully and act accordingly. Our product should not be
used to violate license terms.
Please note: Some applications are not suited to be run using a
remote desktop. For instance games. Those applications need a (very)
fast video card and (very) fast video processing. Although the
technology behind remote desktops is fast enough for your average
office or home application, it is not suitable for lots of games or
(very) fast video-oriented software.
LDAP or other means for the
user administration and authorization
It is possible to use LDAP or other means for the user
administration and authorization. LDAP integration might be
interesting for those solutions where eGroupware, Open Groupware of
similar products are used. The use of LDAP does also nicely combine
with the use of Samba.
