New Release: 2X CloudClient OS |
|
Its simplicity makes the 2X CCOS one of the world’s most user-friendly operating
systems, allowing users access to applications, virtual desktops and the Internet
from PCs, laptops and thin client devices. It converts PCs, notebooks, netbooks,
thin clients and other devices into clients that instantly deliver web applications,
virtual desktops and published applications directly to where they are needed. The
2X CCOS installs to USB devices, CDs, local hard drives and as a network boot OS
via PXE boot.
"With the experience we have gained in the thin client OS market, we are proud to
release the first hardware-independent cloud and VDI-focused OS," explains Paul
Gafa, 2X Software’s Chief Technology Officer.
Nikolaos Makris, CEO of 2X Software, added that "in the future, we are planning
to replace the desktop-like user experience with easily predefined remote connections,
much like television channels. This will make the 2X CCOS the fastest, simplest
and most compatible way to connect to any VDI or cloud infrastructure."
How the 2X CloudClient OS Works:
Go to http://www.2x.com/ccos and instantly
install your FREE personal 2X CloudClient operating system on a USB device. Your
portable CloudClient operating system can then be run from any computer that can
boot from a USB device, allowing you to instantly connect to hosted virtual desktop
applications, such as Google Apps, Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware. It serves as your
personal cloud client you can carry in your pocket wherever you might need it.
Alternatively, burn the 2X CloudClient OS to a bootable CD-ROM, or install it on
a local hard drive and run it as a Network Boot OS from your local network.
Features:
- Supports Web applications, such as Google Apps, Microsoft Live, Web browsers, and
more.
- Includes virtual desktop and application clients, such as Microsoft RDP, VMware
View, Citrix XenApp and the 2X VirtualDesktopServer Client.
- Installs and boots from any type of USB device, or from a CDROM and hard drive.
- Converts standard PC’s, laptops, netbooks or thin clients to a cloud device.
