Multiple Desktop Sessions on Mac OS X Tiger

VNC в Mac OS X

Multiple Desktop Sessions allow more than one person to use your Macintosh computer at the same time! In Panther (Mac OS 10.3), Apple introduced "Fast User Switching" which allowed additional users to log on to the mac without the original user logging out. Instead, the original user's desktop was carefully tucked away and could be switched back to when needed. Now in Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) all those desktops can be accessed simultaneously using Vine Server (OSXvnc). This allows multiple users to be logged in, each using his or her own desktop on the same Mac

Aqua Connect Terminal Server

Терминальное решение для Mac OS X

Creating terminal services for the Mac platform rejects the notion that Macs cannot be supported in the enterprise environment. Aqua Connect's Terminal Server solution allows the Mac OS X platform to be deployed to multiple diverse devices simultaneously. The software product allows Macs, PCs and handheld devices to remotely connect while being isolated. Enabling OS X servers to support multiple environments makes the Aqua Connect Terminal Server the leading solution for reducing Mac OS X deployments throughout your organization.

Graphisoft ArchiCAD 11 в Terminal Server

Обнаружилась тенденция "закливания" графическое части 11ой версии ArchiCAD в терминальных сессиях.

Частично проблема решилась заменой стандартных Microsoft OpenGL реализацию на Mesa GL:

%SYSTEM32%\opengl32.dll
%SYSTEM32%\glu32.dll

В часности заменили на Mesa GL 6.5

Почему частично ? Потому что все еще это работает в софтверной эмуляции.

По поводу автовостановления файлов в Windows:

Для выше указанные файлов можно просто запретить доступ на их запуск, а новые модули положить в корень ArchiCAD 11

Calista Virtual Desktop

www.calistatechnologies.net

The Calista Virtual Desktop (CVD) platform directly addresses the two major barriers to widespread virtual desktop adoption: the quality of the user experience and the cost per desktop. CVD provides a traditional desktop quality experience, including rich media and 3D graphics, to virtual desktops. CVD also dramatically increases the number of users per virtual desktop server resulting in decreased costs and form factors; thus, CVD is well suited to multi-core CPU and virtualized server trends and today’s densely populated datacenters.
