Wyse Technology has unveiled a new version of TCX Suite, which unifies all existing TCX offerings in a single product suite and adds new features.
The company said that each software component in the suite delivers an enhancement component designed to work within Microsoft Terminal Services, Citrix XenApp, Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View environments. The suite comes with platform support for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and is compatible with XenDesktop 4 and VMware View 4.
The new suite features collaborative processing architecture (CPA) which divides the workload between the server and client whenever appropriate, reducing the need for larger servers, the company said.
According to Wyse Technology, the new suite includes multimedia acceleration that streamlines the delivery of the multimedia stream to the local client; flash acceleration technology that extends the capabilities of the remoting protocols for delivering flash video content using Windows IE 7 and Windows IE 8, without the need for a flash player on the local client.
The new suite also comprises of multi-display system that makes virtual desktops and applications multi-monitor aware over RDP and ICA connections; and client USB port virtualisation that makes client attached USB devices visible to virtual desktops and applications.
In addition, the new suite includes functionality such as Avaya SoftPhone and Elluminate applications support; redirect USB devices in shared mode to terminal server/XenApp based desktops; Windows taskbar on primary monitor; WMV multicast support without URL or infrastructure modification; enhancing core media redirection with H.264/MP4 part 10 and MS MP4 part 2 v3 support.
Jeff McNaught, chief marketing and strategy officer at Wyse Technology, said: “Wyse TCX technologies have always been about assuring that the end user experience is as good or better than a comparable PC experience, and the new TCX Suite 4.0 continues to deliver on that promise.”
