2X unites application, desktop virtualization with thin client management

2X Software has released version 8 of its 2X ApplicationServer and 2X VirtualDesktopServer products. The new version not only includes the ability to publish applications and virtual desktops, but also allows the management of user thin client configurations from within the application console.

This creates an all-in-one application for remote publishing and device management, according to Nikolaos Makris, CEO of 2X Software. The new release will further reduce IT administration hassles, by allowing centralized control of both device groups and published resources, he adds.


2X VirtualDesktopServer v. 8 publishes any Windows application or virtual desktop to remote devices, including thin clients and Mac, Windows and Linux systems, without the need to install applications or desktops to local machines. The 2X VirtualDesktopServer also serves as a connection broker for the Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX, Parallels Containers and Windows Terminal Server virtualization platforms.

Makris says the 2X VirtualDesktopServer is designed to be highly cost-effective from the beginning of implementation, with a pricing structure based upon the number of agents (servers) installed, rather than the number of concurrent users, creating a favorable combination of pricing and features for businesses of all sizes. Pricing starts at US$1,190 for the 2X VirtualDesktopServer Small Business Edition, managing a single terminal server without user or connection limitations.
