SmartFLeX Technology Inc. releases new SmartClient Software Framework

February 24, 2010, Easton, PA: SmartFLeX Technology releases its new SmartClient Software as the new base of its SmartClient (Thin Client) product line. “At its core, the new SmartClient software stack is a radical shift from how standard Thin Client software is designed” says Hans L. Knobloch, President and CEO of SmartFLeX Technology Inc. “It reduces the work and cost associated with porting the software to new upcoming Thin Client hardware platforms by 70% because unlike our old NETiON Framework, where the entire SmartClient software stack was developed in “C” and integrated into a customized Linux system, we developed a LAMP based system that does not rely on a any particular Linux system”. Othmar Ehrhardt, Director of Development adds, “The web server + MySQL – PHP based system is easy to customize, port and maintain if underlying hardware and Linux system continues to evolve over time. The excellent hardware detection of todays' Linux systems allows us to provide these new SmartClient solutions not only as a standard hardware based Thin Client solution, but also as USB stick bootable, and VM solutions for PCs”. Knobloch explains further, “Any Linux compatible PC and any Windows or Linux Desktop system can now be turned into an effective Thin Client (SmartClient) solution”.

The new SmartClient software will power the entire SmartClient product line, including FLEXiON, NETiON, CXC, and the EPSiON SiLENT-PC. The complete SmartClient line will vary only in their actual Thin Client module stack and their product definition targeting certain customer types. The bootable USB SmartClient allows customers to use any Linux compatible hardware that can boot via USB flash media as a temporary or permanent Thin Client solution. Additionally, as an alternative to the bootable USB solution, an IDE or SATA or even SSD solution is offered. This will be particularly interesting to OEMs wanting to use their own hardware as a base for their Thin Client solutions. Users who concurrently need traditional Windows or Linux desktop PCs and a unified Thin Client solution, can use Virtual SmartClient images running on top of their PC operating system via Virtual Box or VMware player.

Below is a “hotlist” of some of the most exciting features found in the new SmartClient software:

The entire array of SmartClients can be equipped with the following standard Thin Client modules: ThinLinc, NX, ICA, xRDP, VNC, XDMCP, and a professional Legacy Terminal Emulator Suite. Thankfully, an integrated up to date Browser and some other already installed applications can be enabled as well.

Wireless and multi-media capabilities are available by default and a fully featured CUPS print server can be used to handle local and remote printing tasks.

All SmartClients provide a multi-session and multi-desktop capable Windows “look and feel” like Desktop System.

Any SmartClient's Thin Client setup offers a direct remote-administration solution via any other SmartClient or PC browser.

A clear and thorough system manual is integrated into the SmartClient OS and can be easily accessed by the user via the Task Bar Menu.

Maybe the most important feature is that these SmartClients can be (for the first time in the history of Thin Clients) extended by customers who own non-standard Thin Client modules, applications and front ends. Even additional preferred browsers can be added. These customer supplied new functions and applications can be conveniently

integrated into the Task Bar Menu for easy access.

A sophisticated update system allows automated updates from a customers ftp server, or from USB flash via the standard SmartFLeX Technology update and upgrade modules. Customers can create their own modules, making their own applications readily available for all SmartClients.

A professional corporate grade Client Management System (CMS) is being developed and will be available soon.

The overall flexibility and innovative technology seamlessly integrated into the SmartClient software stack make it a sophisticated, but easy to handle software framework to develop advanced Thin Client solutions for the ever evolving Cloud Computing market.

SmartFLeX Technology with over 15 years of Thin Client development experience is open to discuss licensing options for OEMs interested in develop their own Thin Client solutions.

SmartFLeX Technology is a leading Thin Client and Linux Technology provider since 1993.
