Micro Focus ViewNow®

Cost effective access to high-performance UNIX applications from Windows desktops ViewNow® X Server provides Windows PC users with easy network access to memory-intensive, graphics-rich X applications running on UNIX systems. While X applications appear to be running locally on the desktop, processing actually takes place on the UNIX server, allowing organizations to leverage the power of X applications without the expense of dedicated, high-powered UNIX workstations. Integrated management capabilities, customization tools, and network diagnostic utilities simplify software configuration, deployment, and administration.

Proven graphical user interfaces provide point-and-click simplicity that makes using X applications easy. PC users can easily cut and paste information between UNIX and Windows applications. Users simply select a text block or graphic, copy it, and then paste it into a Windows application or into a UNIX application.

Micro Focus ViewNow® X Server

Expanded access to X applications

ViewNow® X Server software makes it easy for Windows PC users to run memory-intensive, graphics-rich X applications such as CAD/CAM, finite element modeling, financial analysis, database administration, production planning, inventory control, and more.

Best of all, ViewNow® X Server brings this extraordinary computing power to PC users at a reasonable cost. Organizations can expand access to the computing power of UNIX servers while maximizing existing investments in desktop systems. Instead of deploying more expensive UNIX workstations, organizations can install ViewNow® X Server on lower-cost PCs to provide access to X applications on a high-performance UNIX server.

By leveraging the multitasking and processing power of the UNIX server, powerful X applications that require large amounts of RAM can be viewed, controlled, and manipulated from Windows desktops. From the user’s perspective, the X application appears to be running locally on the PC, whereas processing actually takes place on the central UNIX system.
