Features

Listed below are just some of the features that are provided and supported using ApplicationServer (APPLICATIONSERVERAS).

For a more detailed list, including screen shots, visit our website at http://www.2x.com/applicationserver/asfeatures.html.  

2X Client
Managing 2X Client settings for all users on the network is a seamless and efficient process using 2X ApplicationServer.  You can manage the 2X Client settings for all the users on the network that connect to any server currently in the Farm, directly from the management console.

Universal Scanning
With 2X Universal Scanning there is no need to install any scanner drivers on the server. Any application using TWAIN technology will be redirected to use hardware connected to the client device for scanning.

New Publishing Wizard
2X ApplicationServer now incorporates a Publishing Wizard which will guide you through each step needed to setup Virtual Desktops, Published Applications and Published Desktops in the shortest amount of time possible.

Application and Desktop Publishing
2X ApplicationServer allows you to publish particular applications installed on a terminal server to the desktop of any remote user. For example, you can tunnel an accounts package onto a user’s local desktop without giving the user access to a full desktop or publish a full desktop as an application on the terminal server.

Deepnet Unified Authentication Platform
Deepnet Unified Authentication is a single integrated platform used for provisioning, managing and verifying all types of authentication, form-factors and user credentials.
2X ApplicationServer provides this two-factor authentication using SafeID, FlashID, MobileID, QuickID, GridID, SecureID (RSA), DigiPass (Vasco).  

Native RDP Connections
Using the 2X ApplicationServer Client you can now connect to a machine running Microsoft Terminal Server using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection. Administrators can easily configure desktop connections and publish applications using one tool.

Embedded Desktops
With your 2X ApplicationServer Client you can now use Embedded Desktops. This allows you to load a number of different Virtual Desktops inside one application. Switching between multiple desktops is as simple as clicking on a different tab.

Multiple VDI Solutions
2X ApplicationServer now supports virtual desktops published from VMware, Sun VirtualBox, Microsoft Virtual Server, Microsoft Hyper-V, Virtual Iron, Parallels and Microsoft Terminal Server. Virtual desktops are load balanced over the available machines while automatically releasing unused resources.

Seamless Integration with Local Desktop & Taskbar
To the user the remote application appears exactly like a local application.  Applications that are hosted remotely will automatically show up in the local task bar and/or on the desktop.  If your users minimize a remote application, the application will minimize to the LOCAL taskbar.  You can also copy and paste between local and remote applications as well.

Cross Platform Support
2X ApplicationServer is an RDP based Application Publishing solution that supports both Linux and Mac OS X clients, all with seamless Windows capabilities. Now it is easy to bring Windows applications to all your Linux and Mac desktops.

2X Secure Client Gateway Service
2X Secure Client Gateway tunnels all traffic needed by 2X applications on a single port. You need to open only one port on your firewall and the clients will be able to launch the published applications through the 2X Secure Client Gateway Service.

Increased Terminal Services Performance
During the login sequence, the user (using default settings) connection request is forwarded to the terminal server reporting the best performance index. This ensures that the users will never be connected to a terminal server that is using all its resources (CPU, memory, etc), optimizing user experience across the terminal server farm.

Enhanced Security
When used in SSL Gateway mode, the 2X LoadBalancer provides end-to-end SSL encryption to your terminal servers. This not only greatly enhances security but also gives you a firewall/proxy friendly solution with true SSL/HTTPS capabilities.

Reconnection Capabilities
When a session gets disconnected from one of the terminal servers and the user attempts to reconnect, the 2X LoadBalancer queries all terminal servers for a disconnected session from that particular user or IP address, then reconnects the user to the appropriate terminal server (some conditions apply).

Universal Printing
2X ApplicationServer now incorporates a Universal Printer driver eliminating the need to manage and install printer drivers on your terminal server.  The user can print either to their default printer (local) or have the document displayed in a PDF reader such as Acrobat Reader.

Multiple Farms
The 2X Client can now connect to multiple Farms simultaneously, allowing the use of Farms located worldwide and even within different organizations.

Single Sign-On
Single Sign-On is a module that automates the log-in process when connecting with the 2X Secure Client Gateway and terminal servers. Single Sign-On eliminates users having to manage and periodically change individual passwords to access applications and data.

2X Access Portal
2X AccessPortal allows users to launch published applications and desktops from multiple farms which are accessed through a web portal according to their filter settings.

Multiple Monitor Support
Display published applications and desktops on multiple monitors (up to 10) without the need to upgrade to Windows 2008.
