ACP announces Platform4 thin client software

Platform4 software suite combines ThinManager, Instant Failover, MultiSession, SmartSession, Terminal/Terminal Shadowing and Redundant Ethernet modules.

Alpharetta, Georgia, March 22, 2010 - ACP announced Platform4, a software suite that combines its ThinManager, Instant Failover, MultiSession, SmartSession, Terminal/Terminal Shadowing and Redundant Ethernet modules. Platform4 expands the types of sources that can be displayed by allowing a number of different virtual displays (called Display Clients) to be viewed on a thin client. These Display Clients can be generated by a traditional session running on a Terminal Server, a shadowed thin client, or an IP camera. Multiple Display Clients can be viewed with a single thin client - either full screen or tiled to show up to 25 sessions on a single monitor.

Every Windows application in the facility, no matter how incompatible, can be displayed on the same screen without any changes in the software. Each ThinManager Platform4 installation also includes five licenses of ACP's TermSecure, allowing Display Clients to be linked to a user instead of to a particular thin client. Users can then access their own virtual displays simply by authenticating to any thin client, essentially allowing them to take their desktop with them - wherever they happen to be. ThinManager is the standard for managing thin client deployments at many of the world's largest manufacturers who are looking to thin client technology to enhance security and cut energy use.

Platform4 expands on ThinManager's lead and provides the framework for new Display Clients, including virtual machines, in the future.
