About MetaFrame
MetaFrame is the only thin-client/server software that provides access to virtually any Windows application, across any type of network connection to any type of client. Based on our innovative ICA technology, MetaFrame is a cost-effective and proven solution that provides today’s enterprises with centralized management, universal access, exceptional performance and improved security for all business-critical applications and data.

The infrastructure for enterprise application publishing
MetaFrame Enterprise is the only tool you need to extend the reach of enterprise applications to remote users over the Internet, corporate Intranet or existing enterprise network.

The MetaFrame Enterprise architecture offers many benefits:.

• Reach. Users run a single, universal client…yet gain access to any application on the network, regardless of location or client PC hardware
  
• ]Performance. Application performance is consistent for every user across any network connection.
  
• Management. User support and application maintenance occur at a single point on the network, saving you time and money.
  
• Security. Line of business applications execute in a secure environment on the corporate LAN.
  
• Simplicity. There are fewer moving parts to manage, since applications execute on a central server.
  

Extend the reach of your enterprise applications
Just as Web browsers provide universal access to on-line information, MetaFrame Enterprise and its thin-client software deliver universal access to any Windows or client/server application…from anywhere across the Internet or Intranet. The MetaFrame Enterprise thin-client lets users run any application from the server without additional client software.

Client requirements are low. Users can run 32-bit Windows applications on legacy PCs, like 386 or 286; from new-generation devices, like wireless tablets, PDAs or Internet terminals; and on different operating platforms, like Macintosh or Unix.** And MetaFrame Enterprise’s free, unlimited client software licensing keeps your implementation costs low.

Improve the performance of your enterprise applications
MetaFrame Enterprise is the fastest way to publish line-of-business applications outside the LAN, regardless of available bandwidth. Even the most bandwidth-intensive applications, like client/server databases, reach new levels of performance over dial-up, WAN, broadband or Internet connections.

Server-based design means economical single-point management
No solution does more to simplify enterprise application publishing than MetaFrame Enterprise. For starters, MetaFrame Enterprise supplies you with a single point of control for application management and user administration. All upgrades and additions are made once at the server and are instantly available to users over the Internet or Intranet. Symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) hardware compatibility lets you scale MetaFrame to enterprise levels, supporting hundreds of users from a single server. Seamless integration with Microsoft and Novell networks lets you quickly set up users from existing domain or bindery information.

And with MetaFrame Enterprise, you can manage your entire enterprise computing environment—right from your own local or remote desktop—using SNMP managers or MetaFrame’s own extensive set of administrative utilities for user configuration, system performance monitoring, problem troubleshooting and report generation.

Improve the security of your enterprise information
Corporate data and applications may have global reach, but it never leaves the safety of your network…thanks to the server-based processing of MetaFrame Enterprise. Incorporating Windows NT’s C2-level security, MetaFrame Enterprise includes multi-level passwords and privileges, roving callbacks, encrypted login and data, and file-level security to protect data privacy and network resource integrity.

Users get thin-client simplicity
MetaFrame enterprise provides all the familiarity of a local LAN desktop to enhance the productivity of remote users, while reducing their need for training and technical support. Remote users have complete access to all local system resources, such as notebook drivers, remote printers and clipboard. From a single, integrated desktop, users can copy and paste between local and remote sessions; transfer files in the background while they continue to work; and launch remote applications with a single click of an icon.
