Virtual Desktop & Application Delivery

Simple Virtual Desktop and Application Delivery

Deliver virtual desktops and applications in a few easy steps using the “wizard-based” setup.

Web Portal for Cloud Computing

Cloud-enable virtual desktops and applications through 2X Web Access Portal for cloud computing, making it possible for users to access them from everywhere.

Session Isolation

Isolate applications to run as a separate session, without affecting other applications, and unnecessary consumption of resources.

Drag-and-Drop Functionality

Simplify the management of applications by locating the executable file on the server and using the drag and drop functionality to move the file into the 2X ApplicationServer XG publishing list.

Seamless Integration

Virtual desktops and applications fully integrate with users’ local desktop and taskbar.

Access Rights & Permissions

Give individual permissions to virtual desktops and applications by user, group, IP address, machine name or MAC address.

RDP 7/RemoteFX Compatibility

Enjoy bidirectional audio, Windows Media Player redirection and more, with a rich, improved user experience through 2X ApplicationServer XG’s integration with Windows Remote Desktop Services/Windows Terminal Services RDP 7 and Microsoft RemoteFX.

File Associations

File types are automatically associated with a corresponding remote application to directly open the remote application on users’ local desktop.

Predefined Application Settings

We have made it easy and added some predefined applications to your publishing list. Publishing apps like Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Network Connections, Display Properties, and many others will only take you a few clicks.

Licensing Management

2X ApplicationServer XG tracks instances where an application is deployed, allowing the administrator to monitor licensing usage.

Load Balancing

2X ApplicationServer XG fully integrates 2X LoadBalancer to offer resource-based load balancing, for memory, CPU or number of sessions, for installations of two or more terminal servers.

VDI Farm Management & Support

Hypervisor-Agnostic

Publish applications and desktops from terminal servers and virtually any hypervisor (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, Paralell Virtuozzo Containers and more).

VDI Pool Management

The Pool management feature offers administrators more flexibility when managing an extensive number of Guests, especially when they are implemented in large company infrastructures. The 2X ApplicationServer XG console provides the framework and tools needed to create and modify a complete Pool Management foundation.

VDI Desktop Template Management

2X ApplicationServer XG can automatically generate and deploy VDI desktops on-demand, using customized 2X Templates. This allows you to automatically create and deploy Guests whenever needed. This implies that you only need to create a virtual desktop once and then you are able to use it for all other users.

Automatic VDI Agent Updates

2X Agents can be updated from the centralized 2X console.

Free Appliances

Simple, easy-to-use appliances are available for various VDI hypervisors. Refer to the list of 2X ApplicationServer XG approved hypervisors and choose the specific document for more information on how to connect to your virtual host.

Virtual Infrastructure Preview with
2X VirtualInfrastructureDesigner

Preview your custom design before deploying it on your network. The “Farm Design” tab provides a visual diagram of the VDI farm. The 2X VirtualInfrastructureDesigner tool will allow you to view and change the infrastructure graphically, providing ease of use and administrative control. You can easily add and remove servers, gateways, hypervisors and other network components.

Adding Agents to the VDI Farm

Growing your VDI farm is simple, by just adding new 2X Agents. Point and click to include additional terminal server and VDI agents to your farm.

High Scalability & Redundancy

2X ApplicationServer XG’s architecture supports high scalability and fault tolerance and allows administrators to upgrade server capacity, without any down time. 2X ApplicationServer XG’s fault tolerance protection allows for no single point of failure.

Connection, Security & Authentication

Microsoft Active Directory Authentication

Authentication is allowed via Active Directory or Windows Workgroups. This ensures that every single client authenticates against 2X ApplicationServer XG and Active Directory before retrieving the list of published applications.

Zero-Management Tokens

Zero-management second-level tokens can be created with no additional administration necessary.

Two-Factor Authentication

SafeNet and Deepnet Unified Authentication integrate with 2X ApplicationServer XG as a multi-factor authentication platform for provisioning, managing and verifying user and host authentication methods, form-factors and user credentials.

SSL Security (SSL v3.0 with Strong Cipher)

Protect your network by setting up your Gateways the right way and get the full benefits of secure SSL-enabled connections, MAC address filtering and two factor authentication!

Client Support & Management

2X OS – Thin Client Operating System

The Linux-based, zero-management 2X OS can be distributed to thin clients on the network, using 2X ApplicationServer XG. Thin clients are able to connect through a 2X Secure Client Gateway to download and install 2X OS over PXE. 2X OS allows you to extend the life span of existing PCs by converting them to thin clients, providing considerable savings over time.

Hardware & OS Independence

Access virtual desktops and applications from any desktop or mobile device, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch), Cisco Cius, 2X OS, Wyse thin clients and more.

Windows Client Settings Provisioning

2X Client settings can be provisioned directly from the main console (currently Windows client only).

2X Client Version Control

You can ensure your users are running or have been upgraded to the latest 2X Client, or otherwise blocking access. You can also monitor listings for specific client types, such as restricting access to 2X Web Access Portal users.

Universal Printing & Scanning

Print from Remote Applications & Desktops

Print to any local or network printer from remote applications and desktops. With the 2X Universal Printing feature, the printing process is greatly simplified. When using 2X Universal Printing, you will not need to install a specific printer driver on the server. You can allow multiple printers to be simultaneously redirected from client to server, and redirecting the same client hardware capabilities on the remote virtual printer, while also improving the Guest Agent and PC Agent Universal Printer performance.

Supported Formats

Universal Printing supports EMF, PDF and BMP formats, among others.

Fonts

Required fonts are automatically deployed from the server to the client. This basically controls embedded fonts within the print job.

Scanning Redirection

Any TWAIN-enabled application can use local hardware for remote scanning, eliminating the need to install scanning drivers on the server.

Monitoring, Reporting, Notifications

Server Monitoring

From the 2X ApplicationServer XG Console you can see all relevant server information displayed on the Information tab. This allows you to identify and fix errors before productivity is interrupted.

Auditing

Track all changes through an audit log recording all 2X environment modifications.
