We discovered that 2X’s ThinClientServer solution could perform these tasks plus many more. After completing the initial evaluation, we purchased the product primarily due to its functionality, flexibility, and price. We now have multiple training environments successfully PXE booting from 2X’s ThinClientServer with virtually zero ongoing maintenance and a satisfied training audience. Stephen J.

We where looking for a Thin Client solution that allowed us to leverage our existing systems as terminals, ease of deployment and transparency to our users. 2X Loadbalancer and 2X ThinClientServer allowed us to meet all of our goals and realize a significant cost savings in the process. With ease of installation and great support, what you get is software that anyone thinking of deploying Terminal Services in their environment needs to try. Jason Pearson
"The ability for 2X to turn our old PCs into thin clients was a life saver. The time and money it saved because we did not have to buy new PCs was unbelievable. The integration with existing terminal services was easy and seamless. The ability to manage the terminals remotely makes support of remote locations much simpler. We are able to update our software applications once and the terminals all have the latest version the next time they log in. We are extremely happy with 2X and look forward to a long working relationship with 2X." Dale M. Feeman "The wonderful quality of 2X's software and support is now equally matched by their generosity! 2X Software has recently donated their thin client solution software to the Family Resource Center (FRC), a child abuse prevention and treatment center in St. Louis, Mo. Because of 2X's gift, we at FRC will be able to save over $228,000 in a six year plan of replacing old workstations with thin clients and breathing new life into our old PCs. Funds saved through this donation will now be able to be allocated to more direct service to the over 10,000 clients a year that we serve. We have been using the free version of your software and found that not only did it work well "right out of the box" (a rarity), but the few configuration issues we had were resolved immediately by your terrific support staff. Thank you for your professionalism, your terrific software and service, and your generosity to the greater community!" Ralph Cacioppo
"We were looking for an efficent way to reduce the overhead of administration and TOC, knowing that our IT budget will suffer further cut downs in the years to come and stumbled over the 2x ThinClientServer solution. After 30 minutes of configuring the DNS, DHCP, intstalling the 2X server components and setting up the parameters we were convinced! Take out your client hard disk, PXE boot on the network and connect your clients to a terminal server / Citrix session. No more hassel with messed up Windows stations, no more heavy Windows OS upgrade or reinstalation on the clients, don't worry any more about local files. You gain time, money, security and speed. Combine this with an VPN internet acces and you'll get happy users too. Thanks to 2X we will go for 100% diskless thin clients." Torsten Westphal
"I was looking for a product that would allow me to RDP to a VM XP box. I came across 2X ThinClientServer which handles authentication and control over what user can connect where, using a very nice web interface. The install was easy. I setup a whole 2X system in VMware Workstation in about an hour. This comprised of one XP box to RDP to, one XP box to run 2X server software on, one VM running ipcop [to provide the dhcp (and modified to offer the correct PXE info)] and one VM that did nothing but PXE boot. It worked like a champ... first time! After seeing how well it worked, I re-did the whole thing, but told it to authenticate users to our domain and actually RDP to one of the XP virtual PCs on our ESX stuff... again, it worked like a champ. Here's the best part: If you get the trial software, 2X give you a 5 client license... FREE. If you need more than 5, you have to start with a 25 pack @ about $595. That is the cheapest thin client yet... and it is managable too!" You can read more here or here Jim Jones
"With over 600 Thin Clients deployed throughout 12 buildings and more coming soon, we are able to centrally manage a handful of servers, instead of supporting hundreds of computers. And with no moving parts in our Thin Clients, if one fails, a building staff member can simply replace it within minutes with a spare, and minimal instructional time is lost. We’ve tested and implemented a few “Thin” solutions over the years, and 2X has proven to be the smoothest to implement and the most feature rich for the price"..... Read more Todd C Wesley
Because of this, the need to purchase new PCs has been pushed way into the future. ' Read the full testimonial Tommy Huie |
"We have started to test ThinClientServer, version 5.0, in a computer room with 10 thinclients. Today, thanks to the intuitive and functional features offered by software 2X, also suitable in the trade sector, and thanks to the perfect integration with LDAP, it was possible to broaden the original project up to 100 workspaces. Thus, students’ computers didn'’t require any further setting every month. Thinclients are connected to two twin servers through the LoadBalancer. In the near future, we are going to increase the number of thin clients available to the student community up to 200, adding also the number of servers up to 4. Using software 2X, we could centrally and systematically manage those situations which would have required a continuous technical maintenance. In this way, costs and scheduled maintenance have been drastically reduced."
As an effort to extend the useful life of our previously purchased desktop hardware, we recently migrated our older Pentium computers from end-user’s desktops into a training room environment. In doing so, we needed a way in which these systems could be remotely managed while requiring minimal desktop hardware support. This environment also needed to be delivered to the end-user with the speed and functionality found on newer generations of desktops hardware.
'Using the Thin Client Server product, I have been able to provide a consistent, and in many cases - faster, end-user experience utilizing our current hardware. Users at our remote offices can now access the main office servers and services as if they were right there. I do less and less individual troubleshooting since users cannot use their local hard drives.
