Exceed onDemand

High Performance

  • Ultra Low Bandwidth Usage
    Exceed onDemand delivers up to ninety percent more efficient in bandwidth usage than traditional X servers, thanks to the highly effective Thin X Protocol and the innovative architecture.
  • Selectable Image Compression
    Users can choose a level of image compression, from one that offers the highest image fidelity and accuracy, to one that delivers the most bandwidth savings. Users will find an option that is best suited for their application needs and performance expectations.
  • Intelligent Caching
    Frequently used fonts and images are persistently cached on user desktop machines as opposed to be repetitively downloaded. This mechanism ensures maximum efficiency and reduces redundant network traffic.
  • Shadow Window
    Improve the performance and reduce bandwidth consumption of drawingintensive X applications by handling 2D drawing requests on the server.
  • Cluster-enabled Architecture
    The cluster-enabled architecture of Exceed onDemand allows organizations to create a centralized infrastructure, letting more users securely access more 2D and 3D X Window applications, while maintaining optimal performance.
  • Support for 64-bit Architecture
    Both the Server and Client components of Exceed onDemand natively support the 64-bit architecture on selective platforms.

End-to-End Security
