2X TerminalServer for Linux provides companies and users with a secure, personal Linux desktop, accessible from anywhere in the world.
"If Linux is going to happen on the desktop, it will require a terminal server approach such as that of 2X Terminal Server for Linux. Only with the more advanced thin client approach, will Linux be able to outdo Windows fat clients in a company’s network. 2X is proud to contribute to this by opening the source code of its terminal server software for Linux,” said Nikolaos Makris, CEO 2X.
Leverages the lightning fast NX protocol: A compressed version of X
The 2X TerminalServer is based on the open source NX X-Windows compression protocol. X-Windows is highly bandwidth-intensive and therefore does not scale well or run over low bandwidth connections. The NX protocol on the other hand, compresses the X-Window protocol and enables users to run a complete Linux desktop and Linux / Windows applications over slow dial-up links. On LANs, it means a much higher number of clients can be supported without affecting network speed.
Linux: The perfect multi-user OS
Linux is ideally suited for thin client/server-based computing, because it was designed from the ground up to be multi-user. Application conflicts are therefore less likely and management is made easier.
