INGENICA, the innovative leader in server-based printing solutions, today announced the launch of UniPrint Host Edition. Developed to cure printing inflexibility headaches in all mixed host systems (such as UNIX, AIX, AS/400, IBM Power Series, System z, and Linux) and Windows environments, UniPrint Host Edition enables all local and remote users on fat or thin clients working in a server-based (Citrix or Microsoft Terminal Server) or non server-based environment to benefit from enhanced printing flexibility. The all-new UniPrint Host Edition enables organizations to build a de facto information bridge between their Line Printer Remote (LPR)-based systems and their Windows-based systems. The bridge makes it easy for users to access data stored on the host system, and print to a Windows-based printer. This innovative solution makes it simple to provide truly fast and flexible cross-platform printing. UniPrint Host Edition further enhances printing flexibility in a mixed host-Windows environment by making it convenient for users to print, preview or archive print jobs. Taking advantage of the common, affordable, and easy-to-maintain Windows environment, UniPrint Host Edition converts print files into Portable Document Format (PDF) before transmitting them to a Windows desktop computer ready to print, preview, or save. An easy-to-install and manage software-based solution, UniPrint Host Edition eliminates the need for organizations to invest the money, time and resources traditionally required to install and maintain a hardware-based printing solution, and reprogram the host side of the system. "Surveys revealed that despite the fact customers found cross-platform printing made great sense from a productivity standpoint, they had given up on the idea because it posed too many problems, and because the only available software and hardware solutions were far too expensive and far too difficult to implement," said Arron Fu, Vice President, Software Develop
REDMOND, Wash. – June 26, 2008 – Following the launch of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft reached another milestone today with the release of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, the hypervisor-based virtualization technology that is a feature of select versions of Windows Server 2008. The nearly 1.5 million copies of the Hyper-V beta version that have been distributed demonstrate how customer interest in virtualization is moving from evaluation to production environment deployments. Virtualization can help companies maximize the value of IT investments, decreasing the server hardware footprint, energy consumption and cost and complexity of managing IT systems while increasing the flexibility of the overall environment. Microsoft's strategy and investments in virtualization — which span from the desktop to the datacenter — help IT professionals and developers implement Microsoft's Dynamic IT initiative, whereby they can build systems with the flexibility and intelligence to automatically adjust to changing business conditions by aligning computing resources with strategic objectives. Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V supports virtual machines with up to four virtual cores, 32-bit as well as 64-bit operating systems, and up to 64 GB of RAM.Click for high-res version. Hyper-V offers customers a reliable, scalable and high-performance virtualization platform that plugs into customers' existing IT infrastructures and enables them to consolidate some of the most demanding workloads. In addition, the Microsoft System Center product family gives customers a single set of integrated tools to manage physical and virtual resources, helping customers create a more agile and dynamic datacenter. "Customers who buy Windows Server 2008 are not only getting the scalability benefits, the high performance and reliability, and all the great things that Windows Server is known for; as of today they can benefit from integrated virtualization with Hyper-V," said Bill Hilf, general manager of Win
SANTA CLARA, CA » 6/26/2008 » Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, today announced European language and telephone system support for the Citrix® EasyCall™ feature in Citrix® XenDesktop™ . EasyCall, which is also available as a feature of Citrix® XenApp™ and Citrix® NetScaler™, provides the simplest and most intuitive way of seamlessly integrating communications into any application. With its newest release, EasyCall now includes German, French and Spanish (Castilian) language capabilities as well as integration with leading European telephone systems from Siemens and Alcatel-Lucent. As a result, customers delivering virtual desktops with XenDesktop can now provide an even richer experience to end users in more countries around the world. As leading software companies begin integrating communications capabilities into their newer applications, customers are beginning to recognize additional cost savings and user productivity. Using EasyCall, customers can now instantly communications-enable all of their existing applications as well with no modification to the applications, telephones or phone systems required. Communication-enabling applications with EasyCall enables users to initiate instant click-to-call capabilities from any telephone number within any application using their company's existing corporate phone system and rates — thus increasing worker productivity and saving costs on phone charges for users working from home or other remote locations. First generation virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions simply moved desktops into the datacenter in an attempt to save costs. Next generation desktop delivery systems like XenDesktop dynamically assemble virtualized desktops at runtime and deliver them over the network on demand with LAN-like performance and a rich user experience. In addition to reducing costs for IT, this approach provides end users with a desktop experience that is often even
