Virtual Computer, which focuses on distributed desktop management, has launched NxTop 3.0 at VMworld, offering — you guess it — new features and better compatibility. Read on for the details…
New in the NxTop 3.0 suite, is a slew of distributed management features, featuring stand-alone bare metal hypervisors, quick booting virtual appliances both cloud and server based, and new computing perks along with a list of new hardware support. NxTop 3.0 is also going to be aimed at any organization size, consumer to enterprise. NxTop also offers a remote help desk, distributed desktop management, and PC and VDI compatibility.
Features and flavors include:
NxTop Enterprise: Desktop virtualization and management solution for large organizations; includes NxTop Business with added distributed remote-office management and help-desk support.
NxTop Business: Desktop virtualization and management solution suitable for organizations from 5 to 500 users operating in a LAN environment.
NxTop Express: Free desktop virtualization and management solution for five users.
NxTop Workstation: Free stand-alone Type 1 hypervisor with local virtual machine installer and a quick-booting virtual appliance for access to server- and cloud-based applications.
You can download NxTop Express and Workstation from Virtual Computer while Enterprise and Business versions will arrive later this month (September 2010).
Environmental and money-saving features of NxTop 3.0 include ‘Hierarchical Management’ and policy-based ‘Bandwidth Throttling’ between NxTop Center and client hypervisor. There’s also local creation of VMs and complimenting the broad list of hardware support comes support for serial ports for “older printer devices used in banking and health-care environments.”
