Remote
Desktop Protocol
Remote
desktop protocol (RDP) is a multi-channel protocol
that allows a user to connect to a computer running
Microsoft Terminal Services. Clients
exist for most versions of Windows, and other operating
systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. The
server
listens by default on TCP Port 3389.
Based
on the ITU T.share protocol (also known as T.128),
the first version of RDP
(called version 4.0) was introduced with Terminal
Services in Windows NT 4.0 Server, Terminal Server
Edition. Version 5.0, introduced with Windows 2000
Server, added support for a number of features, including
printing to local printers, and aimed to improve network
bandwidth usage. Version 5.1, introduced with Windows
XP Professional, included support for 24-bit color
and sound. Version 5.2, introduced with Windows Server
2003, included support for console mode connections,
a session directory, and local resource mapping. Version
6.0, which will be introduced with Windows Vista and
Windows Server "Longhorn", will include
a significant number of new features, most notably
being able to remote
a single application instead of the entire desktop.
Features
24-bit color support, giving a palette of 16.7 million
colors. (8-, 15-, and 16-bit color are also supported.)
128-bit
encryption, using the RC4 encryption algorithm. (This
is the default security; older clients may use encryption
of lesser strength.)
Transport
Layer Security support.
Audio
allows users to run an audio program on the remote
desktop and have the sound redirected to their
local
computer.
File
System Redirection allows users to use their local
files on a remote
desktop within the terminal session.
Printer
Redirection allows users to use their local printer
within the terminal session as they would with a locally
or network shared printer.
Port
Redirection allows applications running within the
terminal session to access local serial and parallel
ports directly.
The
clipboard can be shared between the remote
computer and the local
computer.
Sharing
the resources of local hard drives in remote
computer.
Advantages
Clients
compatible with the remote
desktop protocol run on a number of different
operating systems, and is even a core feature of some
Linux distributions. Users do not, however, need a
broadband connection to access their desktop,
as even a 56K provides enough speed to provide 5-6
screen refreshes per second.
Disadvantages
The
RDP
server application is only found on Windows Server
2003, Microsoft Windows XP in the Professional and
Media Center Editions. As of May 2006, there are no
plans to bring remote
desktop capabilities to the XP Home environment.
XP Home does, however, support the RDP
client application.
Upcoming
Features in RDP 6.0
Remote
Programs: Application publishing with client-side
file type associations.
Seamless
Windows: Remote applications can run on a
client
machine that are served by a remote
desktop connection.
Terminal
Server Gateway: Enables the ability to use
a front-end IIS server
to accept connections for back-end Terminal Services
servers
via an HTTPS connection, similar to how RPC over HTTPS
allows Outlook clients to connect to a back-end Exchange
2003 server.
Support
for remoting
of Windows Presentation Foundation Applications:
Clients
that have .NET Framework 3.0 support will be able
to display full Windows Presentation Foundation effects
on a local
machine.
Rewrite
of device redirection to be more general-purpose,
allowing a greater variety of devices to be remoted.
All
of Terminal Services will be fully configurable and
scriptable via WMI
Bandwidth
tuning for RDP
clients.
32-bit
Color Support
Dual
Monitor Support (continuous resolution): Supports
displays that can be spanned across multiple
monitors.
Network
Computing
The
term network
denotes computers working together over a network,
as opposed to independently operating computing. We
understand that and thanks to our software expertise
backed up with our patents we are able to offer network
computing at the best cost, and at the best TCO.
Thin
Computing
Thin
computing delivers the access your people need,
at a much lower cost than traditional methods, all
without compromising your security or manageability.
Thin
Computing makes it easier for IT to manage systems
and improve the reliability and security of information,
we offer them all Contact
us!!!
Thin
Client
Thin
client hardware device which depends primarily
on the central
server for processing activities.
Server
Based Computing
Server
based computing [SBC] model is where applications
are deployed, managed, supported and executed from
central
server farms. Screen, keyboard and mouse information
is exchanged between the client
and the server
farms. No applications actually reside and execute
on the desktop client-server
based computing delivers instant access to business-critical
applications and data at this central point

U2Lite
Applica
U2Lite locally supports an additional station
attached to the Host PC with USB Keyboard and
USB Mouse support. Independent audio can be
added with the Applica USB Sound Adapter. Applica
U2Lite is the least expensive solution for
local station support such as kiosks and home
use. |
ApplicaDS
ApplicaDS
is combination of hardware and software that
allows many users to use one Windows PC simultaneously
and independently! All users have their own
Windows desktop and can work completely independent
- with no perceptible performance degradation. |

Applica
UGroup allows the addition of 4 extra remote
users to the primary user's computer by connecting
an additional set of standard keyboard, mouse
and monitor as well as other devices using USB
technology. |
