Thin client vendor independent
Use thin clients from different vendors, old/existing computers, or new low cost computers - and manage all these thin clients through one consistent and open interface. Rather than having to commit to one particular thin client vendor from whom to buy all your hardware, you get the freedom to choose and the possibility to re-use your existing computer hardware.
Web-based management interface
Thin client devices and users’ connection settings can be managed centrally via the web management interface. It shows currently active thin clients and user sessions, generates reports and includes a centralised database of thin client Syslog events, for easy troubleshooting.
Limit user access to Citrix or 2X published applications, not a whole desktop
2X ThinClientServer deploys a secure, read-only desktop to the thin client, which looks exactly like Windows XP, however only shows Citrix or 2X published applications in the task bar. This way you can control what applications a user has access to, without having to worry about locking down the Windows desktop. Since the thin client desktop is read-only it is completely secure from viruses, spyware and more!
Manage user’s connection settings centrally
Centrally configure user’s connection settings such as Terminal server name, type (RDP, Citrix ICA or NX), screen resolution and more. There is no need to push out these connection settings to the thin client devices, since they are retrieved when the user logs on.
Supports local media and printers
Locally connected printers or storage devices are supported seamlessly. Printers will show up in the list of printers on the user’s desktop, and local media will appear in Windows explorer just like other media.
Connection settings are managed based on username, department or thin client
Most thin client management software can only configure connection settings based on device. 2X ThinClientServer links connection settings to Active Directory/LDAP usernames, groups or OU’s (organizational units). This reduces the administration involved with adding users and managing roaming users.
Convert old PCs to powerful thin clients
2X ThinClientServer allows you to extend the life span of your current computers by converting them to thin clients. Re-using your old PCs or extending the life span of your current ones adds up to considerable savings over time.
Publish Virtual Desktops
Desktop virtualisation takes the headache out of desktop administration by increasing security, redundancy and scalability. With 2X ThinClientServer and VMware server you can run your desktops virtually on central servers, and use the client devices and Pc's to connect to the virtual desktops.

Server runs on Windows or Linux
2X ThinClientServer is available for both Windows or Linux servers. Both versions includes a TFTP server for deployment of the OS.
Use low cost thin clients
Because 2X ThinClientServer includes a thin client OS and a centralised management interface for all thin client devices, you can opt for low-cost thin clients without OS & management software.
