HP PC Session Allocation Manager (SAM) Client

The Consolidated Client Infrastructure (CCI) solution from HP centralizes desktop computing and storage resources into easily managed, highly secure data centers, while providing end users the convenience and familiarity of a traditional desktop 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 PC Session Allocation Manager (HP SAM) and is an extension the HP SAM client. HP SAM client is included in the latest HP Thin Client XP Embedded image, and can be accessed from Start > Programs.

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 (thin client) 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 desktop sessions available to users as they are needed.
