The Release of 2X VirtualDesktopServer Version 8 Makes Remote Virtual Application and Desktop Delivery to Thin Clients and PCs a Truly Seamless Experience.

DALLAS, February 1 - 2X Software announced today the release of Version 8 of its 2X
ApplicationServer and 2X VirtualDesktopServer products. To meet the growing
needs of businesses of all sizes, Version 8 not only includes the ability to
publish applications and virtual desktops, but also allows the management of
user thin client configurations from within the application console, creating
an all-in-one application for remote publishing and device management. The
new release will further reduce IT administration hassles, by allowing
centralized control of both device groups and published resources.

"Version 8 of the 2X VirtualDesktopServer and 2X ApplicationServer allows
administrators, for the first time, to deploy and manage VDI sessions and
thin clients using a single management source," explained Nikolaos Makris,
CEO of 2X Software. "We've also included additional features, such as
Universal Scanning, and continue to focus upon building reliable, innovative
and cost-effective solutions serving businesses of all sizes."

About the 2X VirtualDesktopServer

2X VirtualDesktopServer v. 8 publishes any Windows application or virtual
desktop to remote devices, including thin clients and Windows, Mac and Linux
PCs, without the need to install applications or desktops to local machines.
The 2X VirtualDesktopServer also serves as a connection broker for the
Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX, Parallels Containers and Windows Terminal
Server virtualization platforms, offering significant administration and
support savings. The 2X VirtualDesktopServer is designed to be highly
cost-effective from the beginning of implementation, with a pricing structure
based upon the number of agents (servers) installed, rather than the number
of concurrent users, creating a favorable combination of pricing and features
for businesses of all sizes.

New Features for V. 8:

Managing Client Settings: Administrators will now have the ability to
control user settings directly from the management console.

Zero-Management Thin Clients: Includes all components necessary to
convert any device to a thin client.

Management of 2X SecureClientGateways: Allows administrators to remotely
install and manage multiple 2X SecureClientGateways.

Windows CE Clients: Ensures that Windows CE clients will have the same
functionality as standard XP and Vista clients.

Scanner (TWAIN) Redirection: TWAIN redirection, similar to the 2X
Universal Printing feature, allows all devices using TWAIN technology to use
hardware connected to client devices, including scanners and digital cameras.

Easy to Use, Yet Powerful

The 2X development team has ensured our new release hits the right button
with users: for administrators, it's easy to setup and manage, providing
simple step-by-step wizards, while for end-users, it's quick and easy to use,
with a clear, easily-navigable Windows-style client.

Pricing & Availability

Pricing starts from as little as $1190 (900 EUR) for the 2X
VirtualDesktopServer Small Business Edition, managing a single terminal
server without user or connection limitations.
