Open thin client Linux Operating Systems gains more recognition |
|
|
|
|
| New, eLux ReLoaded |
| It's hot from the press and a new released eLux ReLoaded version 1.1, the new thin client operating system, initially available for FSC FUTRO S500 and HP T5735 thin clients. eLux RL, the new generation following the successful eLux NG, is a newly designed Linux-based embedded operating system, especially developed for vendorindependent Thin Clients in server-based environments, thus taking advantage of the centralization in networks and the reduction of the Total Cost of Ownership for which Thin Clients are known. |

| Scout Enterprise for Central Management |
| Scout Enterprise is the management software to centrally administrate Thin Clients with eLux and Windows CE 5.0 as base system. Then you merely need to unpack the appliance, place it and plug it in. Scout Enterprise does everything else for you. The management software Scout Enterprise provides manageability of an unlimited number of Thin Clients or PCs with eLux on 4 levels: firmware, device configuration, server connectivity and online commands. Moreover, Scout Enterprise offers multiple administrator policies, database support (ODBC) and open interfaces for third party management tools |
| Scout Enterprise V10 seamlessly continues the success story of Scout Enterprise V9. It is fully compatible with eLux NG and is required if you are using the new eLux RL. All existing licenses are preserved and are still valid. Up to 25 clients can be managed without a Scout license. |
| |
| Modified or new features: |
- Object hierarchies of any depth
- Multiple administrator policy
- Database support
- ELIAS with signed packages - eLux RL support
- Recovery of eLux NG (default) or eLux RL can be selected in the recovery settings dialog
- Up to 25 clients can be managed without a Scout license
- Read all initialization values from the registry instead of the scout.ini file
- Screen saver 'PopSquares' (eLux RL only)
- Elias support for eLux RL images
- Can run more than one Elias instance
- eLux 1.1 clients are no longer supported
|
| There are some significant differences with the previous versions. So there are changes in hierarchy for which some major database conversions must be applied during update. It is therefore highly recommended to fully backup the Scout program directory and the ScoutNG database |
