Fujitsu Technology Solutions presents a remote access solution for its workstations: all Celsius family models are now available with PC-over-IP.
This means they can be integrated in a desktop centralisation model. For example, if the actual workstation is located in the company's data centre or server room, the user can access the workstation via a Celsius Remote Access portal from his desk or from anywhere in the world. Connected via a standard IP network such as LAN or WAN, the user can view and edit data, access the entire graphics performance, and make full use of his workplace.
Celsius Remote Access technology consists of a Celsius Remote Access host card for the respective workstation and a Celsius Remote Access desktop portal - a device on the user's desktop weighing only 0.86 kilos, and only measuring 22.6 centimetres high and 4.5 centimetres wide. The user enjoys full computing and graphics performance without unpleasant side-effects such as fan noise and heat generation.
This scenario offers similar advantages to those in a virtualised workplace: data storage and system administration are not handled locally, but are managed in the data centre. This means companies are less susceptible to viruses and data loss, as the user does not have access to the hard disk. The systems are also protected against damage or theft - an important factor in school or university environments.
Celsius Remote Access technology can be particularly profitable in environments where several service providers - possibly international - are working on confidential company data. For example, a company could be working on a development project with various international design studios and engineering companies simultaneously. All the service providers involved, whether they are in New York, Rio or Tokyo, can directly view but not copy, delete or modify the current data. This protects the intellectual property. The system also makes it easier to collaborate with service providers or employees who are located in countries with difficult customs authorities, as data does not cross borders - not even virtual frontiers - and remains centrally archived in the data centre. Celsius Remote Access technology is also the ideal solution for conventional remote workstations, and for outsourcing design jobs that call for high graphics performance.
How it works: the Celsius Remote Access host card can be integrated easily into existing CPU architectures. It encodes the entire desktop environment and transfers it in real-time to the Celsius Remote Access desktop portal via an IP network, such as a company LAN. Every PC-over-IP system user benefits from the full PC performance and user experience, while also enjoying the advantages of centralised computing.
The remote access portal is prepared for connecting two displays. The workstation connection supports Dual DVI with a resolution of 1920x1200, meeting the requirements of the most challenging of graphics tasks. The portal does not require drivers or an operating system and is extremely energy-efficient; all the applications run as before on the original computer.
"Fujitsu Technology Solutions is using Celsius Remote Access technology to further equip its workstations for the requirements of an international and flexible business environment, expanding application possibilities, for example, for design and construction jobs,” says Richard Sutherland Portfolio Manager at Fujitsu Technology Solutions. “Centralised computing is a secure and highly efficient option to provide users with full desktop performance and maximum security via remote access."
The Celsius Remote Access solution is available immediately as an option for all Celsius workstations.
