What Is ThinAnywhere® ?
ThinAnywhere is a technology that enables multiple users to remotely use 2D & 3D applications from a Linux environment as if they were sitting at the console of the machine. ThinAnywhere allows end users to have secure remote access to the servers, software and data sets with amazing performance.
ThinAnywhere architecture consists of:
- Application server with ThinAnywhere installed that includes one or more graphics adapters that will be used for rendering the 3D geometry
- One or more client machines that will remotely access the application server
- Encryption and compression algorithms to allow highly secure, high speed delivery of data
Virtualization of the GPU
The ThinAnywhere technology utilizes the local graphics capability on the host to share the adapter among several users while delivering amazing frame rates. ThinAnywhere can deliver exceptional frame rates of over 100 frames per second (based on a window sizes of dual 24 inch monitors) utilizing highly advanced compression algorithms. Testing has shown in some instances of over 2900 frames a second can be delivered on a local network. Multiple graphic adapters are supported to allow many users to share a single system and the same screen at the same time.
Collaboration
One or more users may share ThinAnywhere sessions. Whether in the next office, or across the globe, users can collaborate on projects or customers may view resulting data. The user originating the session chooses to allow or prevent other users from controlling the mouse and keyboard.
Security
Unlike some session-sharing software packages that quickly open up your microphone and camera, ThinAnywhere has been designed for privacy. As an integral part of our technology, we highly secure the environment by utilizing very sophisticated user authentication and AES 128 or 256 bit encryption. The client machine does not have access to your server’s files, nor is the server allowed to access private information or devices on the client.
ThinAnywhere only requires opening one network TCP port. All traffic, including clipboard copy and paste, is encrypted and passed through that single port, transported via ThinAnywhere’s secure, proprietary protocol.
Performance
ThinAnywhere offers several types of compression algorithms including near no loss and fully no loss algorithms suitable for medical applications. Users with lower-bandwidth connections will benefit from our streaming compressions, while users on a LAN can enjoy the high-performance compression modes.
Replacing a Windows-based X-server
ThinAnywhere has many benefits over a Windows PC-based X-server in your local network. Find out more here: ThinAnywhere vs. PC X-Server
