Wednesday, 24 May 2006 by Michel Roth
2X announces the release of 2X ThinClientServer v3, which aims to solve the Windows desktop management hassles by controlling what Windows applications users can run via a small foot print, secure Linux desktop.

2X ThinClientServer deploys a Linux thin client OS with integrated desktop to PCs and thin client devices and allows administrators to centrally control not only the devices and connections, but also what Windows applications a user or group of users can run.

2X ThinClientServer v3, administrators are in complete control of what applications are run on the desktop, eliminating the following repetitive tasks:

• No more patching of desktops
• No more checking for rogue applications on the desktop
• No need to deploy new or update software on desktops
• No more need to re-install XP
• No need to back up data on desktop machines
• Unauthorized use of removable media (USB sticks, Ipods) impossible.

In addition, the need to invest in, learn & manage the following software becomes obsolete:

• No Anti Virus needed on the desktop
• No Anti Spyware needed on the desktop
• No USB/CD ROM device control needed on the desktop
• No desktop management software needed
• No desktop backup software
• No need for Operating system updates – No new VISTA licenses needed!
