Multiplatform X Server Provides 3D Graphics Support and Secure Shell
Capabilities
SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--
Attachmate Corporation today announced Attachmate Reflection X Advantage version
2.0, a multiplatform X server that connects remote Windows, UNIX, Linux and Mac
desktop users to graphical UNIX-based applications. Enhanced with Open Graphics
Library (OpenGL) and Secure Shell (SSH) support, this market-leading solution
boasts a new architecture designed to optimize performance for high-latency and
low-bandwidth networks. 

In a time when IT organizations are looking to reduce resources and do more with
less, Reflection X Advantage helps organizations align with green computing
standards and cut IT costs by extending the life and reach of existing
applications and servers. When consolidating data center assets through server
virtualization and the elimination of replicated servers, Reflection X Advantage
helps organizations by providing remote application access for users who are no
longer co-located with their UNIX host system. 

"Reflection X Advantage version 2.0 offers unparalleled support to remote and
mobile users who need access to graphical UNIX applications, with improved
performance and more freedom when using these applications in different
locations," said Sam Morris, product marketing manager at Attachmate. "In
addition, by driving server consolidation in the data center, Reflection X helps
IT organizations reduce energy resources and align with green computing
standards, which can result in significant cost savings." 

Reflection X Advantage version 2.0 allows users to experience the rich visual
display and reliable security they need to get their jobs done, whether it`s
from the office, the road or around the globe. New enhancements and
functionality include:

* Access to the Latest Linux Desktops

Reflection X Advantage version 2.0 allows users to display GNOME and KDE
desktops from a Windows PC, a Mac OS X workstation or another Linux workstation.
Desktop sessions can be suspended and resumed, or transferred to another
workstation seamlessly.

* "Beyond-the-Building" Access

Organizations can deliver core assets to users around the globe - without
jeopardizing performance. A fault tolerance feature improves productivity by
allowing users to recover X sessions that have been interrupted by workstation
crashes or network outages. With high-latency and low-bandwidth optimization,
Reflection X Advantage version 2.0 gives remote users reliable access to X
applications.

* Project Continuity

Today`s mobile workforce requires solutions that allow them to start a project
in the office and then pick it up from a different location, collaborate with
coworkers in other locations and share documents or application user interfaces
in real time. With a distributed architecture, Reflection X Advantage version
2.0 allows X applications to be launched, suspended, resumed, transferred and
shared.

* High-Level Security

Reflection X Advantage version 2.0 includes the latest SSH and SSL/TLS
encryption with a cryptographic module validated for FIPS 140-2, one of the U.S.
government`s top security standards. 

"Reflection X Advantage has been an invaluable tool because it`s critical that I
access my Linux desktop from a Windows PC on a daily basis," said Klaus Eckert,
Linux application developer at ProContour GmbH. "I`ve been really impressed with
the product`s performance and multi-monitor support. In addition, I can now
securely connect to my Linux desktop with SSH." 

Reflection X Advantage is just one component of the Reflection X family of
products, which provides secure, comprehensive desktop-to-UNIX connectivity.
Trusted for more than 15 years, Reflection X solutions enable users to access
mission-critical UNIX applications, from those with a simple character-based
terminal interface to applications with complex 3D graphical rendering. 

Reflection X Advantage Version 2.0 is available immediately for purchase. For
