NX
provides a growing number of university engineering departments with
fast and secure remote access to Linux desktops and graphical
applications
October
6, 2010, Cincinnati, Ohio – NoMachine NX provides students and faculty
of engineering departments at universities across the United States with
remote access from campus, other locations or home to heavily used,
critical Linux environments and applications hosted on campus servers.
Many required engineering programs run on Linux and NX provides
flexible anywhere, anytime access without any disruptions or delays.
The
Nguyen Research Group of the Electrical Engineering and Computer
Sciences department at UC Berkeley uses NX to provide remote access to
Red Hat Enterprise Linux desktops hosted on NX Servers at the
university. Eliminating any restrictions on location, students and
faculty can run advanced design engineering programs from anywhere to
continue work off-campus.
Mainly used by graduate students
pursuing PhD work, the J.B. Speed School of Engineering at the
University of Louisville uses NoMachine NX to provide access from a
remote Windows desktop or laptop to several Linux computational clusters
in the engineering lab. NX provides a graphical user interface and
works well over a variety of bandwidths and connection speeds.
Assistant
Director for Dahlem Supercomputer at the University of Louisville,
Nathan Johnson said, “NoMachine NX provides a major advantage with
flexible server-based pricing and a simple licensing model. Our usage
varies over time depending on the current projects and the NX Enterprise
Server provides us with the flexibility to allow for any number of
clients.”
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
in the College of Engineering at Villanova University also deploys
NoMachine NX to provide professors and students with access to
graphical software hosted on Linux machines in the campus lab, enabling
remote course and research work from their office or home Windows
machine.
Adjunct engineering professor at Villanova University,
Dr. Edward Hepler said, “NX provides the benefit of being able to work
off-campus and reduces the amount of time spent commuting to and from
the lab. Also enabling quicker project turn-around, NX delivers a fast
real-time response when accessing engineering design and simulation
software requiring interactive graphics.”
In addition to
supporting Linux-based engineering applications, NoMachine NX is a
popular solution for universities because of the mobility NX provides
them to work on and off campus. With the release of NX 4.0 quickly
approaching, mobility will be increased with the new NX Web Player
allowing students and faculty to access their desktop and applications
from any browser-enabled device, such as a smartphone, without the need
to install additional software locally.
