NoMachine NX Server Listing updated: October 17, 2005

NoMachine NX Server is a solution that enables businesses to deploy centralized applications to thin clients, mobile and home workers, over network connections. NX uses the power of the X-Window system to bring the network transparency of the Unix world to any operating system, including Windows and Mac OS/X. Additionally NX bridges the standard file and print services of the client, with the Unix file and print services of the server, so that, wherever you are, you can see the same applications and the same network resources.

Besides the native X-Window protocol, NX is able to translate, encrypt and compress standard protocols like the RDP protocol, used by Microsoft and Citrix, and the VNC protocol, used by a number of freely available tools, giving access to the complete set of facilities made available inside a corporate network.

Zilab Remote Console Server Listing updated: November 7, 2005

Zilab Remote Console Server, as its name implies, is a remote access server for Windows XP/2000/NT that works with console-based and DOS legacy applications. It runs as a regular network service for Windows NT/2000/XP and features multiple user support, dynamic console size tracking, transparent client side printing, port forwarding, session logs, and, most importantly, functions properly even when a connection is disrupted. It re-establishes connection or gracefully terminates a session if a certain (user specified) time period has passed. Zilab Remote Console Server offers two important features that make this software standout. First, it provides the ability to print any information from the console application hosted on a server directly on a local printer. This feature works accurately even when multiple users are connected. Second, unlike older telnet/SSH applications, Zilab Remote Console Server displays console panel without distortions and supports mouse, function keys and hotkey combinations (like Ctrl+C). The connection and data transfer speeds are very fast.

2X TerminalServer for Linux Listing updated: March 2, 2005

2X TerminalServer for Linux provides users with a secure, personal Linux desktop accessible from anywhere in the world, over any connection.

Eliminate the burden of fat client administration & allow teleworking.

Now you can do away with the administration-intensive, virus- and error-prone fat clients and in the process, allow employees to easily access their personal desktop, files and enterprise applications from home or on the road.

Save $$$ on Microsoft licenses with Linux as a desktop.
What's more, you can do away with the expensive Microsoft Server, client access and application licenses, since 2X TerminalServer is Linux-based! Employees get a familiar GUI (KDE or Gnome, both very similar to Windows) and use the power of OpenOffice, FireFox and Thunderbird instead.
