Encryption

2X ApplicationServer leverages and extends Windows Terminal Services and provides the ability to publish individual applications to user desktops such that they can share applications that are installed only on a centralized Terminal Server.  Shared applications feature "seamless windows" displays in that they look and feel like local applications to the end user (when minimized they appear in the local task bar, copy and paste is supported between local and remote apps, etc.).  Clients connect to the 2X ApplicationServer through a customized, RDP-based shell, and therefore require their own client component to access the published applications;  the vendor offers clients for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X end users.

The Enterprise Edition supports the publishing of applications from multi-server Terminal Server farms.  Core components of the platform include the 2X Application Server itself, which includes both the application Publishing Agent Service and the  Management Console;  the 2X Terminal Server Agent;  and the 2X Client Gateway.

The Publishing Agent and the Management Console both install on a Windows 2003/2007 Server machine with Windows Terminal Services active, and provide the core application publishing and management features of the platform.  The 2X Terminal Server agent is installed on the individual Terminal Servers and collects and reports usage and status information for each terminal server back to the central server.  Finally, the 2X Client Gateway enables all terminal server connections to be placed through a single port connection.  When used in combination with the 2X LoadBalancer, communications through the 2X Client Gateway can be protected via SSL, enabling end-to-end encryption.
