HP Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Multimedia and USB Enhancements

Used with Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol, HP RDP Enhancements provides users with a single- logon, full-screen virtual desktop and multimedia redirection.

HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS)

HP RGS is an advanced utility that allows a user to access and share the desktop of a remote computer over a standard network. All applications run natively on the remote computer and take full advantage of the computer and graphics resources of the sending computer.

HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM)

The Consolidated Client Infrastructure (CCI) solution from HP centralizes computing and storage resources into easily managed, highly secure data centers, while providing end users the convenience and familiarity of a traditional environment. Additionally, companies have long used server-based computing (SBC) to create virtual instances of desktop applications on a server that multiple remote users can access. HP CCI offers a new alternative for virtualizing the desktop.

Part of the CCI solution is the HP Session Allocation Manager (HP SAM), which is an extension of the HP SAM client.

HP SAM becomes the control point in managing a CCI deployment. Specifically, it manages the assignment of Microsoft Remote Desktop connections from a user’s access device (computer) to Remote Desktop sessions (blade PCs). Whether the session resides on a dedicated physical blade or resides together with other sessions on a virtual hardware platform, the HP SAM system can make these sessions available to users as they are needed.

TeemTalk Terminal Emulation

All computer models include terminal emulation software to support computing on legacy platforms. The software uses the Telnet protocol to communicate with the computing platform. Refer to the terminal emulation documentation (supplied separately) for instructions.
