2X ApplicationServer XG Features
Virtual Desktop & Application Delivery
Simple Virtual Desktop and Application Delivery
Deliver virtual desktops and applications in a few easy steps using the “wizard-based” setup.
Web Portal for Cloud Computing
Cloud-enable virtual desktops and applications through 2X Cloud Portal for cloud computing, making it possible for users to access them from everywhere.
Session Isolation
Isolate applications to run as a separate session, without affecting other applications, and unnecessary consumption of resources.
Drag-and-Drop Functionality
Simplify the management of applications by locating the executable file on the server and using the drag and drop functionality to move the file into the 2X ApplicationServer XG publishing list.
Seamless Integration
Virtual desktops and applications fully integrate with users’ local desktop and taskbar.
Access Rights & Permissions
Give individual permissions to virtual desktops and applications by user, group, IP address, machine name or MAC address.
RDP 7/RemoteFX Compatibility
Enjoy bidirectional audio, Windows Media Player redirection and more, with a rich, improved user experience through 2X ApplicationServer XG’s integration with Windows Remote Desktop Services/Windows Terminal Services RDP 7 and Microsoft RemoteFX.
File Associations
File types are automatically associated with a corresponding remote application to directly open the remote application on users’ local desktop.
Predefined Application Settings
We have made it easy and added some predefined applications to your publishing list. Publishing apps like Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Network Connections, Display Properties, and many others will only take you a few clicks.
Licensing Management
2X ApplicationServer XG tracks instances where an application is deployed, allowing the administrator to monitor licensing usage.
Load Balancing
2X ApplicationServer XG fully integrates 2X LoadBalancer to offer resource-based load balancing, for memory, CPU or number of sessions, for installations of two or more terminal servers.
VDI Farm Management & Support
Hypervisor-Agnostic
Publish applications and desktops from terminal servers and virtually any hypervisor (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, Paralell Virtuozzo Containers and more).
VDI Pool Management
The Pool management feature offers administrators more flexibility when managing an extensive number of Guests, especially when they are implemented in large company infrastructures. The 2X ApplicationServer XG console provides the framework and tools needed to create and modify a complete Pool Management foundation.
VDI Desktop Template Management
2X ApplicationServer XG can automatically generate and deploy VDI desktops on-demand, using customized 2X Templates. This allows you to automatically create and deploy Guests whenever needed. This implies that you only need to create a virtual desktop once and then you are able to use it for all other users.
Automatic VDI Agent Updates
2X Agents can be updated from the centralized 2X console.
Free Appliances
Simple, easy-to-use appliances are available for various VDI hypervisors. Refer to the list of 2X ApplicationServer XG approved hypervisors and choose the specific document for more information on how to connect to your virtual host.
High Scalability & Redundancy
2X ApplicationServer XG’s architecture supports high scalability and fault tolerance and allows administrators to upgrade server capacity, without any down time. 2X ApplicationServer XG’s fault tolerance protection allows for no single point of failure.
Adding Agents to the VDI Farm
Growing your VDI farm is simple, by just adding new 2X Agents. Point and click to include additional terminal server and VDI agents to your farm.
Connection, Security & Authentication
Microsoft Active Directory Authentication
Authentication is allowed via Active Directory or Windows Workgroups. This ensures that every single client authenticates against 2X ApplicationServer XG and Active Directory before retrieving the list of published applications.
Zero-Management Tokens
Zero-management second-level tokens can be created with no additional administration necessary.
Two-Factor Authentication
SafeNet and Deepnet Unified Authentication integrate with 2X ApplicationServer XG as a multi-factor authentication platform for provisioning, managing and verifying user and host authentication methods, form-factors and user credentials.
SSL Security (SSL v3.0 with Strong Cipher)
Protect your network by setting up your Gateways the right way and get the full benefits of secure SSL-enabled connections, MAC address filtering and two factor authentication!
Client Support & Managment
2X OS – Thin Client Operating System
The Linux-based, zero-management 2X OS can be distributed to thin clients on the network, using 2X ApplicationServer XG. Thin clients are able to connect through a 2X Secure Client Gateway to download and install 2X OS over PXE. 2X OS allows you to extend the life span of existing PCs by converting them to thin clients, providing considerable savings over time.
Hardware & OS Independence
Access virtual desktops and applications from any desktop or mobile device, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch), Cisco Cius, 2X OS, Wyse thin clients and more.
Windows Client Settings Provisioning
2X Client settings can be provisioned directly from the main console (currently Windows client only).
2X Client Version Control
You can ensure your users are running or have been upgraded to the latest 2X Client, or otherwise blocking access. You can also monitor listings for specific client types, such as restricting access to 2X Cloud Portal users.
Universal Printing & Scanning
Print from Remote Applications & Desktops
Print to any local or network printer from remote applications and desktops. With the 2X Universal Printing feature, the printing process is greatly simplified. When using 2X Universal Printing, you will not need to install a specific printer driver on the server. You can allow multiple printers to be simultaneously redirected from client to server, and redirecting the same client hardware capabilities on the remote virtual printer, while also improving the Guest Agent and PC Agent Universal Printer performance.
Supported Formats
Universal Printing supports EMF, PDF and BMP formats, among others.
Fonts
Required fonts are automatically deployed from the server to the client. This basically controls embedded fonts within the print job.
Scanning Redirection
Any TWAIN-enabled application can use local hardware for remote scanning, eliminating the need to install scanning drivers on the server.
Monitoring, Reporting, Notifications
Server Monitoring
From the 2X ApplicationServer XG Console you can see all relevant server information displayed on the Information tab. This allows you to identify and fix errors before productivity is interrupted.
Auditing
Track all changes through an audit log recording all 2X environment modifications.
Error Notifications
Immediate notifications are provided via email or SMS when farm problems are detected.
Comprehensive Support
Our integrated Online Support System and knowledgeable worldwide 2X Support Technicians, will be able to assist if issues arise.
Licensing
Server-Based Licensing
2X ApplicationServer XG is licensed per server, not per user, making licensing simple and affordable. Depending on the hardware resources, you will be able to decide how many users can connect to your VDI servers (hypervisors). The 2X ApplicationServer XG Enterprise version allows unlimited users per server.
