Foster-Melliar has released Hummingbird`s Exceed onDemand 5, a powerful, ultra-thin, server-based PC X server connecting users to 2D and 3D X applications over any type of network connection.
"Exceed onDemand delivers seamless, secure access from Windows-based desktops to many platforms including Unix, Linux and VMS X Window-based systems. Exceed onDemand 5 offers users enhanced scalability and manageability with the addition of many features including cluster computing, new management tools and increased security," says David Anderson, CEO of Foster-Melliar.
The enhancements to Exceed onDemand 5 make it a one of the most powerful and complete ultra-thin, server-based PC X servers on the market. Key enhancements to Exceed onDemand 5 include:
* Cluster computing: Cluster computing eliminates the performance bottleneck common with multi-tier, single-server solutions, enabling multiple Exceed onDemand Servers to form a single logical computing unit.
* Load balancing: Spreads the Exceed onDemand workload across all nodes in the cluster and provides high availability.
* Cluster management: Cluster-related management tools are built into Exceed onDemand Server Manager giving administrators the ability to configure the cluster on many levels from any desktop.
* RSA SecurID Certified: With the support of RSA ACE/Agent for PAM, Exceed onDemand can authenticate users based on RSA SecurID patented technology, helping corporations to create a strong barrier against unauthorised access.
* Suspend on disconnect: Exceed onDemand can safeguard users` work in unstable environments. It also saves time by avoiding lengthy X application restarts after a disconnection.
* Xstart interoperability: Xstart files are now interchangeable between Exceed and Exceed onDemand, protecting and extending the investment of Exceed.
Exceed onDemand 5 is available in three encryption levels: strong encryption, weak encryption and no encryption. For more information, log onto www.foster-melliar.co.za or call Gavin Foreman at Foster-Melliar on (011) 785 9900.
