A core element of the HP Virtual Client Essentials software portfolio, HP RGS is an advanced connection protocol 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 compute and graphics resources of the sending system. The Software’s application-independent architecture automatically supports and accelerates all current and future multimedia codecs and applications, including Adobe® Flash® and Apple QuickTime®, to deliver a rich remote desktop user experience.

The HP RGS Receiver software is now available as a free download and is supported on Windows Vista® and Microsoft® Windows® XP-based desktop PCs, mobile PCs, and workstations, HP Linux workstations, and HP thin clients—expanding collaborative capabilities to users who do not have the full install of HP RGS in their own environments.

Real-time, more secure collaboration

The software’s image-based collaboration securely keeps all application data on the sending system—only encrypted, compressed video is sent to end users on receiving systems. This allows users to communicate and collaborate with partners while keeping sensitive data secure in the data center.

On-demand access to workstation resources

HP RGS also allows users to access one or many multi-display workstations from a network-attached client using a single sign-on, so the user’s high-performance resources are always-on and accessible through a standard Internet connection.

A variety of uses

HP Remote Graphics Software can be deployed across a variety of environments, including:

  • High-performance — consolidate and provision compute resources to users ranging from business desktop knowledge workers to the most demanding workstation user with a “just like local”, "high-performance", rich user experience


  • Design review and collaboration — allow geographically dispersed design teams to see and interact with large digital prototypes in real time


  • Financial trading — stream video, data, and applications from multiple workstations to a multi-display trading desk, remote office or disaster recovery site


  • Classified research and defense — provide secure, high-performance access to sensitive data and applications


  • Command and control centers — enable a secure continuous-operation environment by providing multi-location access to virtual machine, blade PC, and blade workstation resources located in data centers


  • Mobile professionals — allow professionals to efficiently work locally or remotely so they can live where they choose and work conveniently through an Internet connection


  • Remote design and manufacturing — dramatically reduce load time or engineering assemblies by connecting workstation resources to the data center


  • Scientific research and visualization — interact with high-performance compute and visualization simulations from an office and collaborate with colleagues in real-time


  • Support — provide application support to end users by connecting to existing user sessions with system administrator rights to troubleshoot and resolve issues


  • Classroom/training — dynamically connect to subject matter specific resources from a desktop kiosk client and share live session content to one or many students at local or remote campuses

Benefits

HP RGS offers a variety of benefits to institutions and end users, including:

  • Increased business efficiency — real-time access to data and resources regardless of physical location


  • Increased data security — mobile professionals can access resources without proprietary data being transferred to the remote computer


  • Increased business continuity — end user uptime is increased by enabling users to failover to a spare pool of preconfigured resources


  • Reduced management costs — centralization consolidates workstation resources to a single point-of-management


  • Increased training effectiveness — enable multiple users to follow application procedures alongside an instructor in real-time
