ThinAnywhere Core Product
Secure access from anywhere with ThinAnywhere
ThinAnywhere Server is the leader in high-end graphics visualization across the heterogeneous network. While providing secure access architecture, ThinAnywhere Server enables the central deployment and management of all your applications whether they are hosted on Microsoft Windows Server, Unix or Linux. On demand access to your resources from anywhere gives you an instant return on your business applications investment. By deploying your applications on a centralized serve, you save with increased productivity, increased security, enhanced administrative abilities and you decrease the cost of redundant application purchases. Highly flexible, scalable and secure, the ThinAnywhere Server is the solution to the spiraling cost of application deployment and administration. No matter if you are accessing high-end OpenGL 3D Modeling applications or the simplest database, ThinAnywhere lets you connect quickly and securely from anywhere there is an Internet connection.
How will I save?
Laying a good foundation
ThinAnywhere Server is the cornerstone for your access infrastructure. From a single point of entry across the enterprise you will have more flexibility, efficiency and control over your applications and networks. Centralizing your data and controlling its access will save on administrative costs and increase security and accuracy. With the heterogeneous networks of today, you need access to all your applications no matter what OS they run on. With ThinAnywhere, you have that cross platform access you need and no changes need be made to your current applications or application servers.
Application deployment
All applications, updates and patches are instantly available to every employee because of centralized deployment and access. Gone is the need to update each application on each user's personal computer. The savings on IT administration are immediate. Redundant application purchases are cut to a minimum because of centralized access to application servers.
Increased productivity
ThinAnywhere Server allows your users to be productive anywhere they may be. Secure real-time remote access employing ThinAnywhere's proprietary interactive Internet Protocol (iIP), gives users the ability to access data and applications from remote offices, from home or anywhere there is an Internet connection. Data accuracy is improved by giving mobile workers direct access to centralized data and applications even with wireless devices. Disconnect and reconnect features allow users to disconnect from a working session and then reconnect again at a totally different location and time while al processes continue to run. Collaboration features allow a user to share a real time session with multiple collaborators from anywhere in the world. The need for travel is decreased and your data stays secure.
Improved security
ThinAnywhere lets you access your applications and data quickly while you enjoy military quality AES encryption in addition to the industry standard SSL encryption. When combined with the built in security of the ThinAnywhere Server OS and your network security, multiple security layers are established. The single-point-of-entry model requires only a single open port to permit access with ThinAnywhere.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
ThinAnywhere Server lets you continue using your existing IT infrastructure while you upgrade your business and IT plans for the future. By allowing access to all your application across the heterogeneous network you'll save money on costly application redeployment, duplication of resources and resource management. ThinAnywhere's proprietary encryption methods help save precious bandwidth over the Local Area Network and the Wide Area Network helping you avoid costly network upgrades. Your data can be kept safe and secure on the Local Area network where it belongs.
ThinAnywhere 2 Tier, 3 Tier and 3 Tier (Access All) Architectures
With the ThinAnywhere 2 Tier architecture, the RPD client on a Windows operating system enabled with the ThinAnywhere 3D Plug-In connects directly to a Windows 2003 server using the RDP protocol. The Windows 2003 server, enabled with the ThinAnywhere 3D OpenGL server, then accelerates, compresses and sends the OpenGL images over the RDP connection.
See Diagram
ThinAnywhere's Three Tier architecture, permits connections to be established using the ThinAnywhere client software from a Windows or Linux OS to the ThinAnywhere Linux Server. The Heterogeneous Environment configuration allows users to access all types of servers (Unix, Linux, Windows) through a single-point-of-entry, the ThinAnywhere server. This architecture also supports the acceleration of 3D OpenGL through an RDP connection to a Windows 2003 server.
See Diagram
With the ThinAnywhere Three Tier (Access All) architecture, connection is established using the ThinAnywhere client software from a Windows or Linux OS to the ThinAnywhere Linux Server. Applications can be accessed on Windows and Unix servers on the Local Area Network, as well as Linux applications with optimum performance to those residing directly on the same ThinAnywhere server. The ThinAnywhere Load-Balancing and Authentication server receives all initial requests and then passes the connection to the appropriate ThinAnywhere server machine. This architecture also supports the acceleration of 3D OpenGL through an RDP connection to a Windows 2003 server.

Linux Server
- Easy to install, manage and maintain
You'll have ThinAnywhere up and running in minutes and you won't have to make changes to your applications to access and run them remotely.
- Cross-platform access in a heterogeneous network environment
Access to applications on Windows and Unix servers on the Local Area Network, as well as Linux applications with optimum performance residing directly on the same ThinAnywhere server.
- Load Balancing
The ThinAnywhere Load-Balancing and Authentication server receives all initial requests and then passes the connection to the appropriate ThinAnywhere server machine.
- Blazing speed for Windows, X Window, OPENGL and PEX3D applications
Accelerators on the application servers combined with ThinAnywhwere's proprietary compression algorithms deliver up to 55 frames per second on 3D OpenGL applications.
- 8, 16, 24 bit and GL+ 24 bit color support
A wide variety of display options support your most critical applications.
- Exact screen images match console
Work with confidence knowing that the images in your ThinAnywhere session match exactly what is generated on the application server console.
- Pop up screen support
With a key stroke, on screen help appears to assist you in managing your session and provide session statistics.
- 2 and 3 button mouse support
Crucial for the operation of many 3D applications.
- Disconnect and reconnect to sessions
The user can disconnect from an established session and then reconnect to the session from anywhere there is Internet access.
- Save connection parameters
Once a session has been established on the ThinAnywhere server, the user can save the login and session parameters to the client machine in the form of a ".iip" file. Later a connection can be established with the same session parameters by invoking the saved ".iip" file.
- User collaboration with admin control
Have multiple collaborators in a single session with the ability to control the collaboration environment on the fly.
- Auto-disconnect and reconnect with session save
If your Internet connection goes down for whatever reason, your session is automatically disconnected so you don't lose your work. Reconnection can then be established when Internet access is again available.
- Security
ThinAnywhere utilizes the Rinjdal AES algorithm. The default key length is 128 bits. Encryption keys are generated internally and modified dynamically by session. Coupled with our proprietary certificate based user authentication ThinAnywhere provides an extremely secure environment in addition to the built in UNIX system security.
