To fully realize the savings
of a Terminal Server environment you need the
right tools. ACP has responded with ThinManager®
which lets you configure, maintain, upgrade
and
replace Client devices on your network quickly
and efficiently. Its intuitive Windows Explorer®-like
interface provides Management of all connected
ThinManager Ready Thin Clients, PCs running
WinTMC and Terminal Servers. And because ThinManager
is a Thin Client enabling technology, each connected
ThinManager Ready Thin Client device is guaranteed
to have the same internal software, assuring
uniformity of operation across a wide variety
of models. This architecture delivers the lowest
total cost of ownership and delivers real ROI
to current installations.
| ThinManager Key Benefits |
- Centralized management
- No local configuration or operating
system on thin client (zero client)
- Redundant ThinManager Servers
- Auto-synchronization between ThinManager
Servers
- Management of terminal servers from
ThinManager
- Terminal shadowing from within ThinManager
- Terminal-to-terminal shadowing
- Unlimited licensing plans

Quicker installs with less configuration
No hard drive means no software to install on
the Thin Clients. Terminal Server environments
allow a single install of each application for
use by all connected Clients. Configuration
Wizards make setup easier than ever before.
Lower cost
Lower cost CPU, no floppy or hard drives, and
less memory means Thin Clients are less expensive.
Less maintenance
Maintenance is reduced to a few servers in a
central location. The constant maintenance of
distributed PC operating systems is eliminated
with Thin Clients.
Automatic Failover
In the event of a Terminal Server failure, the
client will fail over to a back up server and
continue working. Imagine the peace of mind
this provides.
WinTMC
ThinManager 3 supports WinTMC, ACP’s software
client that provides a Windows PC the functionality
of a Thin Client. It also gives ThinManager
the ability to manage the PC, and even shadow
its desktop, whether or not the user is running
a terminal session.
Improved At-A-Glance Management
Manage your entire network from ThinManager
by viewing all ThinManager Servers and all Terminal
Servers in one tree. See which Clients are online
and follow graphically the network path from
the Clients back to all the servers. Configure
and maintain each Client individually in ThinManager,
or put the clients into groups, and manage many
Clients at once.
Failover
ThinManager allows every Client to be assigned
to several Terminal Servers. If the current
Terminal Server fails, the Client will switch
to another designated Terminal Server, allowing
the unit to continue functioning in the event
of a server failure.
Instant Failover
The Instant Failover Module allows Clients to
run sessions on two Terminal Servers simultaneously.
If the primary Terminal Server fails, the Client
will instantly switch to the waiting session.
SmartSession
Imagine a computer network that can make decisions
about how to best allocate its resources. That’s
what SmartSession does for your terminal server
network. As resources are used, SmartSession
decides where to assign users to keep the Terminal
Servers running at peak efficiency. SmartSession’s
unique Queuing feature helps administrators
manage the terminal server’s processor
load by pausing individual clients before connection
if necessary.
Remote Administration
View multiple servers and clients from a single
ThinManager screen. This allows management of
the Terminal Server network from a single machine
regardless of how many clients or servers make
up the system.
MultiSession
Simultaneously connect two or more terminal
servers and run the applications you need. Switch
between your sessions using a mouse click or
keystroke. Now on ThinManager Ready thin client
can give you access to all of your servers and
programs. |
