Remote Graphics Software

• Remotely access 2D & 3D graphics workstations
• Access applications on different platforms such as Windows, Linux, and HP-UX
• Perform multi-user remote collaborations

HP Remote Graphics Software equips you to achieve faster time to creation and to maximize your return on IT (RoIT). These are achieved through increased resource utilization by enabling remote accessibility to your high-end workstations.

Features and Benefits

HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) is an advanced utility that allows a user to access and share the desktop of a remote computer over a standard computer network.  The RGS solution is designed to take full advantage of the compute and graphics resources of the remote computer to deliver interactive remote access to multi-display, 2D, 3D, video and media rich applications.   A summary of Remote Graphics Software features and benefits are:

• Workstation performance on-demand ---- allows users to connect to their high performance workstation resources when and where they need them (office, conference room, remote site, home) over a standard network connection
• Real-time collaboration ---- enables teams to see and share 2D, 3D, video and media rich applications over distance in real time
• Secure access --- image based desktop access and collaboration keeps sensitive application data securely on the sender system - only encrypted, compressed pixels are sent to the receiving client
• Application transparent design --- eliminates software compatibility concerns
• Broad access device support --- enables users to connect to their high performance resources and collaborate with colleagues without purchasing additional infrastructure (HP RGS Receiver is available as a free download and is supported on standard Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Microsoft® Windows® XP devices)
• Industry-standard TCP/IP network design and software solution --- allows deployment in existing environment
• HP compression technology - HP3 CODEC provides visually loss-less, variable rate compression that has been specifically designed for text, rich digital imagery and high frame rate video environments; HP3 CODEC allows for on-the-fly compression adjustment to balance speed and network usage
• Multi-display desktop session access --- allows users to see and interact with the entire desktop on the sending system; remote desktop is displayed within a window on the receiving system with active window session focus for keyboard and mouse input; sending system resolution can be automatically scaled to match the receiving system
• Multi-session --- allows users to simultaneously access multiple workstations for increased productivity as well as share their multi-workstation desktop with other users for real-time collaboration
• Follow-me-roaming single sign-on --- enables users to access their remote resources from any access device location with a single sign-on to unlock all remote resources and redirect video, keyboard and mouse to the new location
• Remote audio --- provides smooth, continuous, low-latency, high quality audio streams from remote workstations;   optionally restricts active  remote audio source to the active focus window (mute all others)
• Remote USB --- enables USB devices to be virtually attached to a remote system with local control and access
• Secure connection authentication and communication  --- connections authenticated by Microsoft® password authentication protocol NTLM and Kerberos; Linux® to Microsoft® Windows® connection authenticated by PAM; AES 256-bit communication encryption using Open SSL anonymous Diffie-Hellman ADH cipher suite
