ThinManager release graphic

Terminal Server and Client Management Software

To fully realize the savings of a Terminal Server environment you need the right tools. ACP has responded with ThinManager® version 3.2 which lets you configure, maintain, upgrade and replace Client devices on your network quickly and efficiently. Its intuitive Windows Explorer®-like interface provides At-A-Glance Management of all connected ThinManager Ready Thin Clients, PCs running WinTMC and Terminal Servers. And because ThinManager is a Thin Client enabling technology, each connected ThinManager Ready Thin Client device is guaranteed to have the same internal software, assuring uniformity of operation across a wide variety of models.

– ThinManager 3.2 adds several new Features and Improvements –

MultiMonitor - Run up to five monitors from a single thin client! *

MultiMonitor allows up to five monitors to be spanned or screened through a single thin client.

*Requires special thin client hardware from Advantech or Arista.

Mirrored Licensing

ThinManager also has a new Mirrored License that allows for a backup ThinManager licensing server to be running. If the primary ThinManager server fails, your ThinManager network will continue to run but without access to the ThinManager application. This becomes available once the primary ThinManager server comes back online. Mirrored Licensing is about half the price of standard licensing.

ThinManager  Features and Improvements

ThinManager is already known for its power and ease of use; and yet version 3.2 achieves a whole new level of functionality and sets a new standard for thin client and terminal server management. We listened to our customers and enhanced the product to make even the most complex tasks simple.

New features in 3.2:

  • The new events tab provides a chronological log of configuration events, and terminal, terminal server and user actions
  • New terminal effects give you more control over screen appearances
  • Screen edge MultiSession group selection allows the user to slide between MultiSession screens with a move of the mouse
  • Terminal scheduling controls access to individual terminals by date and time
  • The new Disable terminal servers feature simplifies server maintenance
  • The Terminal Server Discovery feature searches your network and reports back with a list of available servers
  • New multi-level grouping makes configuring terminals by area or type more intuitive
  • MultiSession screen saver displays multiple sessions at selected intervals in a continuous loop
  • Terminal restart without reboot allows you to make configuration changes without the need for a client reboot

Improved features from ThinManager 2.6:

  • A new SQL database offers greater scalability and increased event data storage
  • An improved tree structure simplifies navigation
  • Enhanced graphing capabilities offer better readability
  • New controls on Shadowing include configurable ask/warn and enabling
  • Better touch screen calibration reduces operator error
  • New SessionFinder technology always returns the user to existing sessions
  • An improved MultiSession group selector offers more ways to access your sessions
  • Selection by type makes finding that right module much easier
  • New configurable security groups offer better control over remote connections
  • Automated synchronization links and maintains redundant thin servers with ease

ThinManager 3.2 is the most complete management tool available.

Quicker installs with less configuration
No hard drive means no software to install on the Thin Clients. Terminal Server environments allow a single install of each application for use by all connected Clients. Configuration Wizards make setup easier than ever before.

Lower cost
Lower cost CPU, no floppy or hard drives, and less memory means Thin Clients are less expensive.

Less maintenance
Maintenance is reduced to a few servers in a central location. The constant maintenance of distributed PC operating systems is eliminated with Thin Clients.

Remote Connect allows administrators to manage terminal servers from any point on the network.

ThinManager allows you to manage your terminal server network with continuity over different client hardware platforms.

We eliminate the 2 a.m. phone call.
Equipment failure is a crisis demanding quick attention. ACP ThinManager allows any ThinManager Ready Thin Client to be replaced by anyone in minutes instead of the hours required for standard Windows PC replacement.

Automatic Failover
In the event of a Terminal Server failure, the client will fail over to a back up server and continue working. Imagine the peace of mind this provides.

Remote shadowing allows administrators to solve user problems from their desks no matter where the user is located.

Unique Features of ACP’s ThinManager 3

WinTMC
ThinManager 3 supports WinTMC, ACP’s software client that provides a Windows PC the functionality of a Thin Client. It also gives ThinManager the ability to manage the PC, and even shadow its desktop, whether or not the user is running a terminal session. Click here for more information.

Improved At-A-Glance Management
Manage your entire network from ThinManager by viewing all ThinManager Servers and all Terminal Servers in one tree. See which Clients are online and follow graphically the network path from the Clients back to all the servers. Configure and maintain each Client individually in ThinManager, or put the clients into groups, and manage many Clients at once.

Failover
ThinManager allows every Client to be assigned to several Terminal Servers. If the current Terminal Server fails, the Client will switch to another designated Terminal Server, allowing the unit to continue functioning in the event of a server failure.

Instant Failover
The Instant Failover Module allows Clients to run sessions on two Terminal Servers simultaneously. If the primary Terminal Server fails, the Client will instantly switch to the waiting session.

SmartSession
Imagine a computer network that can make decisions about how to best allocate its resources. That’s what SmartSession does for
your terminal server network. As resources are used, SmartSession decides where to assign users to keep the Terminal Servers running at peak efficiency. SmartSession’s unique Queuing feature helps administrators manage the terminal server’s processor load by pausing individual clients before connection if necessary. Click here for more information.

Remote Administration
View multiple servers and clients from a single ThinManager screen. This allows management of the Terminal Server network from a single machine regardless of how many clients or servers make up the system.

Graphs
ThinManager now includes real time memory and CPU usage graphs, and SmartSession enabled Terminal Servers have the ability to trend the graphs for up to one hour. ThinManager will even graph the load of all the servers in a SmartSession group, allowing improved terminal server network administration.

Event Logging
ThinManager retains and displays a history of terminal events that can be used to monitor thin client usage or troubleshoot.

MultiSession
Simultaneously connect two or more terminal servers and run the applications you need. Switch between your sessions using a mouse click or keystroke. Now on ThinManager Ready thin client can give you access to all of your servers and programs.

Modules
Adding additional functions to Clients is as easy as selecting a module from the module list. Available modules include: Touch Screen, Screen Savers, USB Keyboard and Mouse, Local Storage and Local Printer modules.
