2X Testimonials
Education ICT service supporting 90,000 users chooses 2X Software to ensure network availability Cambridgeshire Education ICT makes IT services available for up to 70,000 students in Cambridgeshire Schools and 20,000 staff/Governors across the county - including secure remote access for around 17,000 staff and students. This huge operation requires not only a major terminal server farm, but robust systems to manage and balance the load to ensure maximum uptime and consistent access to email, video conferencing and management systems 24/7.

Anand Makhecha,
Opus Energy Ltd has been using 2x for two years, in this time it has proved to be the ideal solution to publish both in-house and 3rd party applications to internal users, as well as remote users across the UK. Previously we had to set up VPN links between locations which soon became swamped with SQL traffic between clients and our servers. Since publishing the applications through 2x it has not only improved performance at the client end, but it has also freed up vital bandwidth for the rest of the business. Opus Energy Ltd publishes approx 30 applications to more than 200 users and utilises the load balancing functionality, which allows us to share the load across multiple terminal servers. Additional benefits include, the ability to direct clients to another server should the primary server be unavailable. The centralised management of 2x enables us to efficiently troubleshoot and upgrade applications at a single location. Integration with Active Directory enables us to easily control which users can access which applications, and quickly disable access on a per user basis. We have recently started using the 2x Universal Printing module which allows users to print from a 2x published application to their local printer and are finding that this brings us one step closer to complete remote user integration. Overall we are extremely pleased with 2x it is a very useful, lightweight and cost effective tool - which we can highly recommend. Phil Ballard, |
