Virtuaaliympäristö luotiin käyttämäl- lä WMwaren ja 2X Softwaren virtualisointiohjelmistoja. Opinnäytetyön käsittelemiin teoriaosioihin tutustuttiin tutkimalla virtuaali- soinnin perusteita. Virtualisointiohjelmistoihin perehdyttiin ohjelmistoke- hittäjien Internet-sivustojen ja asennusohjeiden avulla ja toimeksiantajan ohjeiden mukaan. Testausympäristö luotiin toimeksiantajan toimitiloihin käyttämällä 2X Softwaren muokattua toteutussuunnitelmaa, jossa oli mu- kana virtualisointipalvelin ja 2X Cloud Portal. Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli luoda valmis virtuaaliympäristö, jota loppu- käyttäjät voivat käyttää Internet-selaimen kautta mistä tahansa. Testaus suoritettiin useilla eri laitteilla ja käyttöjärjestelmillä käyttäen sisä- ja ul- koverkkoa. Testauksessa virtuaaliympäristö osoittautui toimivaksi ja ha- luttu lopputulos saavutettiin.

  • 2X Licensing Guide
    2X Licensing Guide Revised October 2011 2X LICENSING This white paper provides an explanation of 2X’s licensing and pricing model, while giving an overview of 2X product solutions and product-specific terminology. Forming a suitable budget for your company can be one of the most powerful tools for improving financial performance. IT budget planning is not always straightforward, as technology costs can be ambiguous budget line-items, combining current IT maintenance with longer-term costs. Future software license and maintenance costs may therefore be difficult to predict. 2X Software’s goal is to offer its robust product line alongside an attractive licensing and pricing model. In 2011, we have consolidated our product line, combining 2X ApplicationServer and 2X VirtualDesktopServer functionality with the launch of 2X ApplicationServer XG (Ne Xt Generation). This new product is a big step forward in simplifying the decision-making process for our customers and partners, allowing seamless application and virtual desktop delivery to enterprises of all types and sizes. Unlike comparable per-user licensed solutions, the 2X ApplicationServer XG is licensed according to the number of Windows Remote Desktop Servers/Terminal Servers or VDI hosts in a customer’s network. As the number of users connecting to a single terminal server depends upon available server resources, expanding enterprises may need to increase their number of servers over time. With 2X products, capacity expansions are simple through license key upgrades. For 2X ApplicationServer XG capacity upgrades, additional terminal servers/virtual hosts can be added to the existing farm. The 2X product line includes entry-level products for the small business sector and large businesses alike, at highly affordable price points.
