1 Introduction

HP Remote Client Solutions are designed to support a variety of users’ needs, from the most basic computing tasks to more demanding professional and technical applications, while giving IT greater control over technology resources, simplifying desktop management, increasing agility and, in many cases, reducing total cost of ownership.

Underlying HP Remote Client Solutions is a unified infrastructure that enables client deployment, session allocation, balancing of computing resources, and supports the business needs of a diverse set of users though the use of a common set of tools.

The HP Session Allocation Manager (HP SAM) system is the control point in managing an HP Remote Client Solutions deployment. HP SAM manages the assignment of connections from an end-user's client access device to desktop sessions running on computing resources in a centralized location (typically, a data center). HP SAM makes these desktop sessions available to users as they are needed.

What's New in This Release

Option to Prefer Allocation of Recently Used Resources:

With previous versions of HP SAM, and with this option disabled (which is the default), SAM allocates resources within a role to a user with a preference toward providing a resource that has not recently been used. This helps provide more even utilization of resources.

When this new option (found in the General tab under System Settings on the HP SAM administrative console) is enabled, SAM will allocate resources within a role to a user with a preference toward providing the resource that was most recently used by this user.

It is important to note that SAM cannot guarantee that a user will be returned to their most recently used resource because another user may already be using it. If you want to ensure that each user will always get the same resource, you should use Dedicated Resources instead of roles.

Also note that this feature does not affect allocation when the user has In-use or Disconnected sessions. SAM will always try to allocate resources reserved for the user, regardless of this setting. It also has no affect on Dedicated Resources or their backup resources or backup roles.

Additional Support:

Linux RHEL6 on access devices and resources

VMware Virtual Machine Linux resources

HP T5740e (WES7) Thin Clients

Microsoft SQL 2008 R2
