TORONTO and LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, San Francisco, Aug. 15 // -- Hummingbird Ltd. (NASDAQ:HUMC)(NASDAQ:TSX:)(NASDAQ:HUM), a leading global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) and network connectivity solutions, today unveiled Exceed onDemand® 6 with an innovative X11 remote access application solution for Linux® desktops. A leader in X Window technologies, Hummingbird has built the new generation of Exceed onDemand to allow Windows® and now Linux users to quickly and accurately access X11 applications and data across any type of network connection.
With increasing popularity and acceptance of Linux as an alternative enterprise desktop operating system, it has created a demand for a remote access solution that harnesses the power of the Linux operating system, freeing Linux users from IT infrastructure constraints, and providing them with the ultimate flexibility to access business applications and data over any type of network. Responsiveness, manageability, security and scalability were all critical requirements made by the Linux community in creating Exceed onDemand 6.
A component of the Hummingbird Connectivity(TM) family of products, Exceed onDemand is the most powerful and complete ultra-thin, multi-tiered X server on the market. While sharing the same roots as Hummingbird Exceed®, the award-winning PC X server from Hummingbird, Exceed onDemand 6 delivers unprecedented performances for X11 application display over LAN and WAN as a result of Hummingbird's highly efficient Thin X Protocol on Windows and Linux desktops.
Exceed onDemand also provides significant security and productivity gains for remote application displays including:
o Strong authentication, simplified firewall traversal and end-to-end
communication encryption over SSL and Secure Shell
o Ability to suspend and resume sessions, and automatic session recovery
in case of communication failure
o Shared sessions to facilitate collaborative work
o Central administration and minimal deployment efforts
"Hummingbird customers recognize the benefits of Linux in the enterprise environment and we are committed to helping them realize those benefits," said Xavier Chaillot, director of product management and product marketing, Hummingbird Connectivity. "By bringing the Exceed onDemand technology to the Linux platform, Hummingbird provides customers with the most secure, high-performance X11 application display solution on the market."
