Description
The ThinLinc Client is a remote desktop client used to connect to a ThinLinc Server. With ThinLinc you are able to get access to Linux desktops and applications.
You can use the ThinLinc Client to connect to an existing ThinLinc Server. You can also set up your own ThinLinc Server. The ThinLinc Server can be downloaded for free from https://www.cendio.com for Linux machines. The ThinLinc Server is free to use for a limited amount of concurrent users per organization.
ThinLinc enables organizations to implement a Linux server-based computing (SBC) infrastructure. By centralizing computing resources in the data center rather than distributing them amongst end-users, IT systems become more efficient, secure, and accessible. End-users’ desktops and applications are published from a central location, providing a seamless and familiar environment regardless of which device the user is connecting from, or the user location. Redundancy, inherent in a server-based solution, increases the availability as well.
ThinLinc combines the tools and infrastructure required for Linux-based SBC into a mature, stable, and fully-supported package. The ThinLinc Client and the ThinLinc Server provide a complete solution together.
