2X RAS v14 - Discover Reporting And Network Load Balancing

DALLAS - Feb. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Dallas, TEXAS and London, UK, February 11th, 2015 — 2X Software, a global leader in virtual application and mobile device management, today announced the release of 2X Remote Application Server version 14.

“We are excited about the main new feature of 2X RAS v14, the reporting engine. This allows customers to monitor their virtual infrastructure, for example by knowing the session usage, licensing inventory and user activity. We have also reinvented the way of working through mobile devices, by allowing end users to print directly from their iOS, Android and Chrome devices.

We have extended the renowned terminal server load balancing technology to the gateway, in order to guarantee high availability and outstanding connection performance to any remote user.

Businesses increasingly demand better technology to support their mobile workforces, to guarantee their employees a great experience with corporate applications. The new release of 2X Remote Application Server not only increases the flexibility of mobile workspaces for end-users, but also allows companies to monitor and support their remote workforces with the same quality as inside the headquarters.

Gartner forecasts that in 2015 mobile devices will comprise about 80% of the total device market. As mobile devices become the primary devices for many employees, users are demanding that corporate apps have a consistent user experience, irrespective of device.

2X RAS v.14 gives companies the ability to provide their mobile workforce with an outstanding experience anytime from anywhere.”
