Benefits of using WebTerm X
Users benefit from WebTerm X because the X server can connect over secure SSH protocol, Rexec, RSH, or XDM, and looks and feels like it is built into the system. There is no application interface to learn, and no user configuration is needed. WebTerm X loads into memory when needed, and silently goes away when no longer needed.
System administrators benefit because WebTerm X is designed to greatly ease deployment in large companies. Whether embedding X windows in corporate Web pages or providing desktop icons for direct access, configuration can be completely centralized using the WebTerm X Administrator program.
WebTerm X is optimized for all recent and emerging releases of Windows® 95, Windows 98®, Windows NT®, Windows 2000®, Windows ME®, and Windows XP®. It provides seamless access to virtually all X applications on UNIX, VMS, and Windows NT hosts. Furthermore, embedding these X applications in Web browsers requires nothing to change on the host side, making this a solution that is practical now! Improved productivity, reduced training costs, and centralized administration make WebTerm X the revolutionary X solution for Windows desktops!
In addition, WebTerm X brings you the following benefits:
- Install and serialize in one step to all licensed users from one convenient location on your network.
- Users in your organization need to know nothing about complicated X servers. All they need to know is how to use their Web browsers.
- Since users needn't be technically proficient at an array of X server settings, more people can benefit from your existing suite of X Windows applications.
- You can deploy existing, strategic X Windows applications to a wide audience without having to re-write the application in Java or another client-server architecture.
- Because the configurations are centrally administered, any changes required can be made once, in one place, and immediately available to all.
- WebTerm X has a browser plug-in architecture, making it compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Netscape Communicator® and Microsoft Internet Explorer®.
- A simple, graphical-based WebTerm X Administrator program with Wizards allows you to create configurations in a timely manner by just answering questions.
