Freedom Of Movement

Business mobility allows users to access applications and data thousands of miles away at any hour of the day. It also allows companies to respond to business needs quicker, and swiftly react to emergencies.

Exceed Freedom has been specifically created to extend the reach of graphical UNIX applications to Exceed users at home or on the road. It gives Exceed users new found freedom of movement by liberating them from the confinement of their cubicles while allowing them to interact with business systems as if sitting in the office. Exceed Freedom further pushes the limit of mobility and productivity by allowing users to suspend and resume their applications at any time from any place on any computer.

Right To Share

Many companies improve their competitiveness by developing and selling their products by global teams, outsourcing and worldwide collaboration between operational centers that span multiple continents has become the norm.

Exceed Freedom can instantly add collaborative capabilities to any graphical UNIX application without modification. Through the desktop sharing feature, Exceed Freedom users from different development centers can share design ideas in real- time, and IT staff can shadow over user’s sessions, visualize and troubleshoot user problems on-the-fly.

Protect From Nonsecure Access

Security is a top of mind issue for many IT administrators. Exceed Freedom allows users to suspend active X Window sessions anytime. Users can shutdown their computers before they leave the office, and the IT security group can frequently update desktops with the latest patches and reboot machines without worrying about session continuity and lost work product.

The support for Secured Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Shell (SSH), Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) and Kerberos protocols ensures the tightest integration with existing security frameworks. Single-Sign-On (SSO) is also made possible as a result of a higher level of integration with Microsoft Active Directory. With Exceed Freedom, organizations can rest assured that PC-to-UNIX communication is encrypted and protected from end-to-end.

Desktop Failure Protection Plan

All companies have experienced downtime which can be triggered by many events - power outage, network failure, program error, hardware malfunction, just to name a few. Regardless of the cause, downtime typically results in lost revenue. With the Crash and Resume feature, Exceed Freedom can preserve users’ work and keep valuable data alive in a middle-tier server in the event of a sudden loss of power or network connection on their workstation, relieving them from frustration due to lost time and data caused by accidental disconnections.

High Performance

Embedded to the core of Exceed Freedom is an architecture that offers ultra high performance to worldwide users over any connection type. Exceed Freedom guarantees to provide remote users the same quality of access to the mission critical line of business UNX applications such as EDA tools, medical imagery, trade and risk management solution, or geophysics and seismic analysis, as if they are sitting in the office. Exceed Freedom can match the growth of the business by scaling limitlessly courtesy of the advanced clustering and load balancing capabilities.

Freedom to Consolidate

The cost of setting up and supporting business systems in remote offices is high, and the process is time consuming. Armed with unsurpassed performance over any connection and seamless integration with any security framework, Exceed Freedom helps organizations plug unnecessary resource drains. Organizations can now consolidate over-distributed and under-utilized UNIX servers to centralized application centers without diminishing user’s ability to access business information even from thousands of miles away.

Exceed Freedom also empowers companies that are expanding or outsourcing to accelerate the readiness of branch offices or 3rd party service providers by eliminating the need to set up additional IT infrastructures.

Leverage Existing Exceed Installation

As an add-on product, Exceed Freedom is designed for Exceed so it works right out-of-the-box. Installation is driven by industry standard Windows Installer technology. There are little post-deployment configuration requirements because Exceed Freedom reuses existing Exceed configuration files, which are the culmination of many hours of customer support and “tweaking.” There is no training or break-in period and no downtime. Exceed Freedom is a no-risk choice for improving Exceed users productivity and security, and reducing downtime.

Unleash Full Potential

Exceed Freedom brings many new and innovative features and benefits to organizations: the ability to reduce infrastructure cost, minimize downtime, enhance user productivity, improve accessibility of mission critical line of business UNIX applications, strengthen security, add collaborative capabilities for worldwide users, and reduce cost of access. Combined with the offer of ultra high performance, Exceed Freedom helps companies uncover hidden value in existing investments in their people and the IT and business infrastructures.

Reduce Cost of Access

Exceed Freedom offers extremely small network footprint, so for the same amount of network bandwidth that was established between offices, organizations can now support more users and more application. Exceed Freedom can effectively reduce the per user and per application bandwidth cost. Also, the seamless integration with Exceed translates to lower deployment, training, and ongoing support costs.
