SUNNYVALE, CA — January 14, 2008: StarNet Communications of Sunnyvale, California, a leading developer of Windows-to-Linux/UNIX connectivity solutions, announced the expansion of its portfolio of Unix and Linux LIVE servers with installation packages for the IBM AIX and x86-based Solaris operating system platforms. A LIVE Server installation package for 64-bit Linux systems has also been added.
The new LIVE server installation packages enable engineers and network manager to use StarNet’s flagship X-Win32 PC X server to run persistent X Windows sessions on remote IBM AIX servers and machines running Sun Microsystems’ Solaris on Intel-based processors. Previously, StarNet released LIVE server packages for the Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris (sparc) platforms.
When running “LIVE sessions” users can reconnect to their remote applications should the PC get disconnected from the network due to network, power or Windows crashes. They can also manually suspend sessions, such as at the end of a workday, turn off their PC and resume the sessions the next morning. X-Win32 is the only fully-featured PC X server to offer session persistence.
While PC X servers have been around for more than 20 years, connecting to application hosts from outside relatively stable Local Area Networks has remained largely impractical because VPN, WiFi and other Internet connections are notoriously unstable. LIVE sessions, for the first time enable users to work effectively from anywhere without fearing unwanted disconnects.
“With AIX and x86 Solaris, X-Win32 LIVE now covers the vast majority of PCs accessing Unix and Linux servers. Enabling users to access their remote X applications at LAN speed from anywhere and without the feat of losing their session will greatly affect the productivity of today’s high-tech workers,” said Steven Schoch, StarNet co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.
In addition to protecting users against dropped connections, X-Win32 LIVE also offers the ability to move X sessions from one PC to another. Combined with the ability to run X-Win32 from a USB Flash drive, X-Win32 users can start sessions on one PC, suspend it, take the USB drive to another PC, and resume the session. Nothing gets installed on the PC and nothing remains after the USB key is removed. “This level of session mobility and performance is unmatched in the PC X server market,” Schoch said.
X-Win32 lists at US$270.00 in single license quantity, including year-one maintenance. Volume discounts are available for commercial, government and educational users. X-Win32 LIVE can be downloaded from www.starnet.com.
StarNet Communications Corp., founded in 1989, develops and markets X11 solutions on the Windows platform for corporate, educational and government organizations. StarNet's family of X-Win32 PC X server products offers cost-effective, best-of-breed X terminal emulation solutions. Based in Sunnyvale, Calif., the company is privately held.
