Virtual Desktop Infrastructure – 2X release missing piece

There is a lot of talk about Virtual Desktop Infrastructure – the ability to move desktops to virtual machines. However what’s often omitted from the discussion is how users will access their ‘new’ virtual desktop. Obviously using a fat client to access a virtual desktop is pointless. In order to benefit from Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, the old desktops need to be converted to easily manageable thin clients using a Thin Client Infrastructure product. 2X’ Thin Client Server new version 6 does just that. Press release this way

CITRIX, ThinPrint and unlimited thin clients for $700?

Yes! Just delivered by 2X instead of Citrix!!

You can buy 2X Application Server with server based printing for $700 and download 2X ThinClientServer free for unlimited clients.

That means you can save thousands of dollars on Citrix, another few thousand on Thin Print and tens of thousands on thin clients, simply by converting your old machines.

Check out the press release
