NoMachine, a leader in cross-platform remote computing solutions, today
unveiled details of what's coming up in the release of its next software
update, NoMachine 6: a new Cloud Server suite, a streamlined Linux
Terminal Server family and extending the functionality of browser-based
access to the entire enterprise-oriented range are just some of the
novelties to be expected.
Cloud Server 6 will be an integrated offering
that bridges the gap between physical and virtual resources scattered
across corporate networks, allowing organizations to converge
heterogeneous environments running on Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix
workstations. Cloud Server becomes a connection broker to all other
NoMachine servers and foreign hosts and will sit at the top of the
NoMachine product hierarchy in the eponymous product suite.
The new Cloud
Server will replace the Cloud Server of previous versions which offered
users the option to connect to their remote desktops via the browser.
Web-based access will no longer be exclusive to Cloud Server and will be
extended to all products of the enterprise-oriented range, permitting
users connecting from clientless endpoints to access the desktop
environment via any HTML-enabled browser.
Linux
virtual desktop will be exclusive to the Linux Terminal Server family
with Enterprise Terminal Server at the helm, replacing both Enterprise
Server and Cloud Server for Linux in earlier versions.
Feature
enhancements are also expected which include official support for
RaspberryPi, automatic reconnection, automatic detection of proxy
server, support for H.264 codec in WebRTC sessions, and improved
failback mechanisms for NoMachine servers in cluster.
Said Gaspare Tripi,
General Manager of NoMachine: "Our goal is to simplify the usability
and manageability of our software, not just innovate. Whilst we were
laying down the foundations of what's to come, we realized there was
also an opportunity to streamline the naming hierarchy as well as
introduce some exciting changes. By extending web-based access to our
other products we've added further value to our product offering."
