NCD has what it believes to be the unique capability to manage the software upgrade to the Windows-based Terminal browser in a fully modular fashion, using its NCD ThinPATH Manager software. NCD ThinPATH Manager allows customers to centralize the browser configuration, including the home page, and the ability to control browsing history, cookies, and a list of favorites. This allows IS departments to implement large-scale deployments of new code on a policy basis with minimal impact on network traffic and eliminate the need to individually configure the attributes of each terminal. By adding a local web browser based on Internet Explorer, customers can expand the use of their Windows-based Terminal for additional servers.
Many customers are migrating applications to web servers that use a web browser on the desktop.
In fact, in some environments, having the browser run on the server causes unnecessary server and network load, such as for animations that need to be transferred over the network repetitively. Using NCD's superior management software tools, adding this new functionality to our NCD ThinSTAR 400 family is a simple and easy upgrade, unlike the substantial and time-consuming code updates typical of the processes our competitors must apply. The NCD ThinSTAR 400 raises the bar for performance and flexibility. An Intel Pentium architecture with MMX acceleration and 512 kilobytes of Level 2 cache provides power to the desktop while maintaining your enterprise-wide desktop consistency. The performance of the NCD ThinSTAR 400 complements the flexibility it offers.
