The National Retail Federation’s magazine, STORES Magazine, showcases the benefits of 2X virtual computing technology to 55,000 retail managers and executives.

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2010 -- 2X Software today announced its extensive coverage in the trademark magazine of the National Retail Federation, STORES Magazine, in their March 2010 issue. In his article "Balancing the Load," STORES Magazine writer M. V. Greene notes that "thin-client computing makes sense in retail because industry applications typically do not require full-blown computing protocols," quoting 2X Software CEO Nikolaos Makris as stating that centralized business data solutions can only be implemented "if you have full control of the technology, which means virtualization." As evidence of the benefits virtualization technology can provide to retailers, the author points to the implementation of 2X virtual computing products at apparel retailer M.J. Soffe, where IT Infrastructure Manager Ian Thieme notes that due to 2X virtual computing improvements, "if there is an issue with the system, we know about it fairly quickly, without have to go out to a desktop and spend a lot of time trying to research what the problem could be."

2X Software CEO Nikolaos Makris stated, "We are always pleased to work with such reputable organizations as the National Retail Federation in explaining the significant benefits of virtual computing solutions to audiences of all types. We look forward to continuing to expand our retail presence, as our products continue to grow retailers' margins through increased IT cost savings."

New release makes thin client infrastructure more scalable, secure and affordable.

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/19/2010 -- 2X Software, developer of virtual and thin client computing software, is pleased to announce the release of the 2X ThinClientServer Version 6.2. Building on the success of the 2X ThinClientServer Version 6, 2X Software's latest release includes new features enhancing the performance, functionality and scalability of its popular thin client management system.

Thin Clients Vital for Future IT Infrastructures

With the increasing popularity of VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), demand for manageable and affordable thin client solutions continues to rise. Companies are increasingly using virtualization to allow users to utilize thin clients, laptops or USB devices to recreate their computing environment in secure, controlled settings, removing much of the expense of managing hundreds or thousands of fat client desktops.

"This new version of the 2X ThinClientServer will allow our customers to expand their IT client infrastructure, allowing simple integration with VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and other major virtualization platforms," said Nikolaos Makris, CEO, 2X Software.

"We have concentrated on pushing the performance and scalability of the 2X ThinClientServer to a new level, allowing the management of larger networks and more diverse hardware varieties, ranging from legacy hardware to the latest in commodity PC and thin client technology," explained Raphael Borg Ellul Vincenti, 2X Development Manager.

How the 2X ThinClientServer Works
The 2X ThinClientServer deploys a small-footprint Linux-based OS to popular thin client devices (HP, Wyse, VXL, 10ZiG, Samsung and more) or PCs and laptops. Attached devices boot the latest version of the OS, either locally or from the 2X ThinClientServer. Hardware and connection settings (resolution, logging and more) can be retrieved from the server at client logon, allowing easy thin client management.

2X ThinClientServer 6.2 New Features:
- VMware View VDI client support
- VNC client support
- Hardware-accelerated support for Citrix Rave
- Full redundancy and backup
- Advanced master/slave concept
- Detailed auditing of all management modifications
- Real-time TCS monitoring for administrators
- Extended hardware support
- Improved 2X ThinClientOS desktop experience
- Updated login screen with reboot and shutdown options
- Webcam support
- Local and remote volume controls
- Customizable SNMP community string

Pricing & Availability
Pricing starts from as little as $595, for managing up to 25 thin clients, and scales to $1195 for 50 thin clients and $3695 for 250 thin clients. More information, as well as a free trial version of the product, is available at: http://www.2x.com/thinclientserver/.

Company Depends on 2X for Dramatic Cost Savings and a 99% Reduction in Desktop Crashes

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/10/2009 -- Teleflora, the nation's largest floral delivery network service, has chosen a 2X virtual computing solution to meet the computing needs of their call centers. In creating an optimized solution, the company has chosen to deploy the 2X ApplicationServer Enterprise Edition, along with the 2X ThinClientServer, to optimize employees' remote access to critical desktop applications. Specifically, the 2X solution guarantees the efficient operation of Teleflora's call centers, especially during peak order times, with flawless desktop performance delivered to over 1,100 users in multiple locations.

Jeff Jones is the Systems Architect at Teleflora, and as such, is responsible for ensuring that the company's desktops can efficiently meet the day-to-day needs of the organization. Due to his limited IT budget, especially in the midst of a recession, Jeff is also responsible for ensuring that Teleflora's IT goals are met at the lowest possible price, to preserve funds for other uses. To accommodate the needs of his call centers, Jeff chose a 2X-based thin client solution with his ten 32-bit HP BL460c Blade Servers, along with the VMware ESX 3.5 (VI3) virtualization platform, and was "able to save $120 per machine, simply from one-time licensing cost savings," a total cost reduction of over $120,000. Teleflora's 2X-based solution was thus a "diamond in the rough that fundamentally changed the way we do things," as it significantly lowered IT costs and reduced the need to purchase additional thin client devices.

Through their 2X thin client solution, Jeff states that he "can fix virtually any desktop problem by simply rebooting the ThinClient OS from the central server, accomplishing in minutes what used to take hours to repair," guaranteeing reliable operation during peak order periods. As a result, he explains that he has "been able to reduce desktop crashes by 99% from previous levels, since my team can reboot any failed desktop from a central source." Call center managers can now drive their teams to aggressively pursue sales, knowing that their technical support team can handle virtually any desktop challenge that might arise; it should thus be no surprise that company satisfaction with call center operations is at an all-time high.

Jeff and his team are confident of 2X Software's ability to continue to provide quality server-based software solutions in the future. He states that Teleflora's future path should involve an expansion of their remote application publishing capabilities, along with a move to a thin client device-based solution, to take advantage of potential long-term savings opportunities. Even with a transition to thin client devices, Jeff still plans to make 2X a core component of his solution, stating, "I'm very satisfied with the application publishing and load balancing offered by 2X, and we'll need these capabilities in a larger scale with a device-based solution, especially considering the cost-effectiveness and scalability characteristic of the 2X product line." He further explains that 2X products' simplicity elevates them above competitors, since he "used Citrix for many years, and 2X's products' stability makes them a desirable choice for an operation as demanding as ours."

Scott Sims, 2X Business Development Manager, Americas stated that the company was "pleased to offer Teleflora easily manageable solutions to meet the high standards of their demanding call center operations. With centrally managed and published applications, using a thin client-based solution, companies like Teleflora can optimize access to their network. We will continue to offer Jeff and his team the latest in virtual computing software and look forward to meeting their future server-based computing needs with the efficiency and cost savings potential characteristic of 2X products."

With the, purchase of any 2X-Certified Thin Client device schools in the US will receive 2X ThinClientServer for free

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/25/2009 -- 2X Software Ltd., the international developer of server-based computing software, announced today that it has formed partnerships with four thin-client hardware producers: VXL Instruments, Computer Lab International, NCS Technologies and 10ZiG Technology (formerly BOSaNOVA, Inc). 2X Software has committed to provide free ThinClientServer licenses for these companies' thin-client products on sales to state-funded schools until October, 2009.

This unique offer allows all 2X Thin Client Vendor Partners to provide schools with a low IT budget an efficient and inexpensive solution to their server-based computing needs.

The 2X ThinClientServer allows the conversion of old outdated PCs to powerful thin clients and at the same time manages new energy and cost efficient thin clients added to their IT classrooms.

This concept ends the fat client administration nightmare by enabling all users' connection settings to be efficiently managed from a central device. Additionally, administrators can use the ThinClientServer to restrict users' individual accessibility options, a critical asset for school network administrators managing students with varying security clearances.

Key features for the 2X ThinClientServer include the following:

• Conversion of existing PCs to thin clients
• Management of user connection settings by user, group or department
• Thin client vendor independence – centrally manage any thin client/PC
• Supports virtually all thin clients and computer hardware
• Limit users to Citrix or 2X published applications rather than allowing users complete desktop access
• Boot clients via PXE, Hard Disk, CDROM or USB
• Thin client shadowing and auto-login support

Eric Grayson, Vice President, Americas at VXL Instruments, emphasized the potential for the partnership to increase sales levels at both companies, noting that "more than anything else, the partnership will allow VXL and 2X Software to generate leads for our respective products." He also noted the specific desire of the company to address the low-end educational market, as "state educational programs have rigid business models. We chose 2X because of their desire to target the low-end of the market, serving customers who need an effective, low-cost solution. As VXL is seeking increased sales in the low-end educational market, partnering with 2X associates our products with a trusted thin client brand name, and should generate additional leads in this space."

Jason McGeough, Director of Product Development at Computer Lab International, claimed that the most value from the partnership would be to the customer. "The opportunity for a customer to introduce server centric computing to their environment, while having top of the line support from two industry leaders like 2x and CLI, is very appealing. We are optimistic that if we can get prospects testing out the solution, the ability to receive top notch support and have assistance in making the migration to virtualization, is only going to speed up pilot programs and make for a better user experience. This can be critical for the education vertical, as well as for small and medium size businesses that don't have the vast resources or support to introduce technologies that will reduce the IT TCO."

Manoj Thomas, Director of Field Sales Services and Technical Solutions at NCS Technologies, stressed that the partnership between 2X and NCS will now enable them to provide not just superior hardware solutions but also bundled software solutions. 2X offers feature-rich software solutions which can be bundled with NCS desktops, mobility, servers, and thin clients. Mr. Thomas also noted that by combining the quality and service both companies are known for, the end result will in all likelihood foster future opportunities for all of the verticals they serve, but especially in the education sector. "With this new partnership between NCS and 2X, I look forward to introducing innovative solutions that are easy to deploy, increase data security, and have longer device life cycle: all the while lowering total cost of ownership," said Manoj.

Robert Hammond, Technology Sales Manager at 10ZiG Technology, explained that 10ZiG's thin client partnerships with 2X would offer a "feature-rich, cost-effective solution to our customers. The 2X ThinClientServer provides a pre-loaded, direct access thin client software solution with great company support, providing an attractive compliment to accompany our thin client devices. As both companies are similar in size and targeted user base, the new thin client educational partnership provides a win-win for both parties in expanding our reach to small-order customers."

Engomi, Nicosia -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/03/2009 -- Fisher & Company, a Michigan-based automobile seating safety systems and precision metal parts manufacturer, has chosen to deploy the 2X ApplicationServer for Windows Terminal Services in optimizing company-wide access to critical server-based applications. Use of the ApplicationServer will allow the company's users effective remote application delivery, supporting over 300 global users in company offices based in the United States, Mexico, Germany, India and Japan.

Kevin McDaid, as the company's network administrator, is responsible for guaranteeing day-to-day mission-critical software access to company employees, regardless of location. The company had previously deployed nine 2003 Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 servers for the task; yet with an initial product cost of $75,000, not including $11,000 in annual maintenance fees, Kevin became concerned with the constraints Citrix's solution placed on his IT department budget. Through his switch to the 2X ApplicationServer solution, Kevin retained all of the functionality previously provided by Citrix at a total cost of about $12,000 including maintenance fees, a savings of 86% in operational costs, freeing company resources for other uses.

Additional savings from 2X ApplicationServer implementation has accrued through increased server operational longevity, as Kevin remarked that by choosing a 2X solution, his "servers can go a lot longer between reboots." He added that he could "add more users to each server, which means I have less servers to administer," not only reducing server administration and energy costs, but also saving him the time and hassle required to maintain larger server farms. Kevin was impressed with the efficiency possible through a 2X solution immediately, as ApplicationServer installation took approximately six hours, a stark contrast to the "two days required to install our nine Citrix servers, resulting primarily from Citrix-required policy updates and modifications."

2X Business Development Manager, Scott Sims, explained that the company was "proud that Fisher and Company chose 2X for their global application & desktop delivery. 2X ApplicationServer protects companies from exploding software maintenance and administration costs. To stay competitive, companies are becoming increasingly dependent on flexible and secure access to their applications and data from anywhere. With centrally managed and published applications, businesses can optimize access to their network."

An example of the flexibility of 2X's products is shown in the way their solution has effectively addressed the unique facets of Fisher & Company's corporate culture. Many at the company occasionally avoid traveling to the corporate office, working instead from their respective home offices, yet still requiring full-time network support for vital tasks, such as printing critical documents. To address this potential dilemma, the 2X Universal Printing driver, which is automatically included with the 2X enterprise license, allows users in-office print capabilities regardless of location. Kevin explains that "our printing problems have disappeared since we started using the 2X ApplicationServer with Universal Printing." Perhaps more important is the way the 2X solution was seamlessly integrated with existing company processes, since out of the hundreds of users occasionally working from home offices, all have "been able to map to their local printer without any problems." Though Kevin typically expects occasional product functioning glitches, such as the fact that "printing difficulties were a constant issue with Citrix servers," he was pleasantly surprised that while his cost savings were significant, the less expensive 2X solution also provided improved functionality compared to his original Citrix solution.

Kevin also appreciated the freely-distributed 2X ThinClient Operating System included with his purchase. To address specific needs within the company, Fisher & Company retained a number of custom-built computers, for which new operating systems would ordinarily have to be purchased. Utilizing the ThinClient Operating System with the 2X ApplicationServer allowed these computers to operate effectively without the need for additional operating system purchases, which Kevin estimates has saved the company "roughly $100 per unit so far." Though valuable in cutting corporate operating costs, Kevin sees such additional features as indicative of 2X's commitment to addressing corporate remote application publishing needs as a complete, effective solution, stating that the "2X team was effective in not only addressing my individual product issues, but also finding a comprehensive solution to my remote application computing needs as a whole."

The success of the 2X ApplicationServer solution with the ThinClient Operating System at Fisher & Company has encouraged Kevin to pursue increased engagement with the company to provide similar solutions in the future. Kevin states that he trusts 2X to provide him with "effective solutions that improve and simplify server-based computing issues," and that he looks forward to implementing 2X products and services in the future.
