2X Releases First 'Open' Virtualisation Platform Connection Broker

New 2X VirtualDesktopServer Helps Businesses Make the Most of Their
Chosen Virtualisation Platforms

DALLAS, TX and IRVING, TX--(Marketwire - April 15, 2009) - With so
many competing virtualisation platforms in the market, for any
organisation, making the right decision to take advantage of this
latest technology is critical. The new 2X VirtualDesktopServer
reduces overall operating costs and unlocks the full potential of
virtualisation platforms by improving desktop manageability, security
and performance.

Today 2X VDS is the only software supporting so many virtualisation
platforms. Being vendor independent means that companies are not
forced down a one-way street with any single proprietary software
platform -- it's the first true 'open' virtualisation platform
connection broker.

Just released, 2X VirtualDesktopServer maximises the investment
companies are making in virtualisation software and guarantees to
work with the different vendors now and into the future.

"2X VirtualDesktopServer acts as a hub for all types of competing
virtualization technologies. It doesn't matter whether your business
is using Microsoft HyperV, VMWare, Sun VirtualBox or even a
combination, our software lowers costs and improves control," says
Nikolaos Makris, CEO of 2X Software.

Many medium and larger companies are deciding to go down the
virtualisation route for good business reasons, not least cost
reduction and mobility. However, often they come up against
administration and performance constraints. 2X software is designed
to overcome these issues by providing centrally managed access to
virtual desktops and applications -- hosted on VMware, Microsoft,
Virtualron, Parallels, Sun VirtualBox and other leading
virtualisation platforms.

About 2X VirtualDesktopServer

2X VirtualDesktopServer publishes any Windows application or virtual
desktop onto remote computers, including Thin Clients, Mac and Linux
PCs without the need to install the application or desktop onto each
user's machine. This saves significantly on administration and
support. VirtualDesktopServer is designed to be highly cost-effective
from the outset, particularly as its charging structure is based on
the number of agents (servers) rather than per user, as the platform
vendors favour.

2X VirtualDesktopServer Features:

-- Publish virtual desktops and applications, rather than installing
locally
-- Use the same client to connect to virtual desktops and terminal
server
applications
-- Automatically suspend inactive virtual desktops for maximum
server
efficiency
-- Seamless integration with local desktop & taskbar

-- Publish Windows applications and virtual desktops onto Linux and
Mac
-- Publish applications to Web Interface
-- Publish applications to a terminal server farm

Easy to use, yet powerful

2X's development team has ensured the new software hits the right
button with users: for the administrator it's easy to setup and
manage, including intuitive step-by-step wizards; for the end-user
it's simple to use and fast, with a clear, easy-to-navigate
Windows-like client.
