Luxembourg, September 25, 2013 - NoMachine, a leading provider of remote access and hosted desktop delivery solutions, today announced the official release of NoMachine version 4.
A complete line of products has been conceived to cover a wide range of remote computing scenarios on a number of platforms. The free remote desktop product, NoMachine, for individual use is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
For professionals and organizations, the new NoMachine for the Enterprise suite, which includes flagship product NoMachine Enterprise Server for large environments as well as a number of other products tailored for small/medium businesses, offers a comprehensive solution range to satisfy most remote desktop and application delivery needs.
The most relevant features of NoMachine 4 are:
- Seamless resource sharing and extended device redirection: connect disks, printers, USB devices and more from remote to locale and vice-versa.
- Built-in record & play: record activities inside the session or on the physical desktop, save them on your own PC and play back using NoMachine's own player.
- The Monitor application in the system tray: check who is connected to your desktop, transfer files between computers, and get fast-track access to the server settings user-interface.
- The Menu Panel: during the remote session, control display and audio settings, connect devices, print, initiate session recording and much more.
- The NX network service: connect sessions via SSL-encrypted NX protocol and take advantage of UDP multimedia communication for data streaming.
- Server failover and multinode support: federate Enterprise Desktops and Enterprise Nodes under Enterprise Server and create a cluster with a secondary passive server ready to replace the active one in case of failure.
- A portal for connections via the web: Portal Server gives access to multiple Enterprise Servers via the browser from a single URL.
