Major Semiconductor & Electronics Provider

NoMachine NX delivers full desktop and application access around the world.

About the Company

One of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions uses NoMachine's NX technology to deliver full desktop access to its remote users. Today, more than 700 employees in three locations across the globe use NoMachine's NX technology to access their virtual desktops and applications including e-mail and design tools.

The Challenge

This Semiconductor Company was challenged with the remote access solution they were previously using due to significantly high subscription cost and static features.

The Solution

NoMachine NX was chosen to replace this existing remote access solution for a number of reasons:

Price point in comparison to their previous product was substantially lower and produced significant cost savings
The ever-growing feature set of NoMachine NX software gave them the peace of mind of having a remote access solution that was consistently updated
The ability to test drive NoMachine NX before purchasing gave them a thorough understanding of NX’s features and benefits, compared to other products

The final remote access solution this Semiconductor Company arrived at was a mix of Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX clients that authenticate to both Solaris and Linux NX Servers. NoMachine NX is used to access desktop and server tools such as compilers and heavy CAD applications, as well as GUI interfaces on remote servers, not running the NX software, providing X forwarding and published application access. Up to 300 clients can connect to the NX Server at one time to access their individual desktops and applications.

Results

According to a Project Leader at this Semiconductor Company, "NX has become the premium solution to replace our existing product that allows non-Unix machines to access Unix based systems. The price point compared to our previously used product is substantially lower and is a significant cost advantage."

About NoMachine NX Advanced Server Products

NX Advanced Server products create a cluster of nodes federated in a single NX server. It allows corporations to implement massive desktop consolidation strategies by automatically routing the user to the server configured by the system administrator and by balancing the computing load among all the available nodes.

	Technology Brief


		Data encryption and security NX security is guaranteed at every layer involved in the communication process. NX uses SSH public-key encryption and 128 bit volatile random cookie generation.


	What Users Say

	"Adopting NX as our remote access solution has saved us time, expenditure, and most of all simplified things for our users. It's also given us one client to access 'all worlds.'"
	Horst Braeuner, Project Leader of Migration, Schwaebisch Hall



	"NoMachine NX fits our needs perfectly. All of our users are very happy with the convenient remote access to the Open Source environment and access to necessary Web mapping applications on the NX Server. NX is reliable and simple to maintain, even for inexperienced users. Constant updates, new versions, and support are always available."
	Sue Hawkins, Lab Coordinator, Fast GIS
