The at-a-glance management that has made ThinManager so popular has been extended to support virtual machines along side of other plant floor sources such as HMIs and IP camera feeds. By using one simple tool, modern plant floor managers can realize a tremendous time-savings when configuring, maintaining and deploying the sources that are used across their factories. Virtual machine support with iOS applications extends these time-savings by offering a more complete and portable management solution.
ACP is proud to announce the presale of ThinManager 5.0 XLi! This new version of ThinManager is set to be released July 1, 2011 and will include the new PXE boot technology that will allow ThinManager to boot and manage thin clients from hardware vendors like Wyse, HP, Dell, Lenovo and others. ThinManager XLi also rolls all of the power-user features like MultiMonitor, TermSecure and WinTMC into the core product.
And with 5.0 XLi, users can take advantage of the new iOS apps which run on Apple's iPhone or iPad. These apps contain most of the functionality of the full ThinManager application, allowing users to shadow, restart and manage terminals from an iPhone or iPad just as they can ThinManager.
For a limited time the XLi version will be offered to existing customers, who are current on their comprehensive support and maintenance plans, at 50% OFF the upgrade price! Contact your distributor for more information on this limited time offer.
ACP has taken its award-winning ThinManager Terminal Services management and configuration software and transformed it into a new software platform that allows unprecedented visualization, management and security for your entire automation process.
Expanded core product - ThinManager is well known for its ease of use when it comes to managing Terminal
Servers and Thin Clients and for many years we have offered modules that expand ThinManager’s functionality. We are now taking several of our popular modules and rolling them into the core ThinManager product. MultiSession, which allows multiple terminal server sessions to run on one thin client, is the foundation on which ThinManager’s functionality is now based.
We have also moved in Instant Failover, Load Balancing (with queing), Shared Keyboard & Mouse and many others.
The new group of products is now known as ThinManager Platform 4.

IP video, Virtual Machine support and more - Moving beyond terminal servers and managing sessions we wanted to expand ThinManager’s MultiSession core to allow even more insight into the industrial process. Now ThinManager allows you to run IP Video through a thin client as one of many sources of information you might want to display. You can even overlay the video on top of another session. We will continue to add display sources like Virtual Machines, all of which can be configured or laid out on a monitor or multiple monitors in almost any way you can imagine.
Multiple Monitors give you greater insight - ThinManager Platform 4 supports our MultiMonitor module which allows up to five monitors on one thin client.* Because multiple sessions are available for display through a single client and because each monitor can display more than one session, you can potentially view your entire factory process through one thin client hooked up to five monitors.
Secure Your Terminals - ThinManager uses the TermSecure** module to allow managers to set security parameters that go far beyond the standard username and password authentication. TermSecure will allow you to have only authorized applications delivered to end users based on your settings. TermSecure also supports technologies like RF Card IDs and USB key authentication.
Updated terminology - In Platform 4, a Display Server (like a Terminal Server) creates displays of client sessions (or Display Clients). IP video cameras or VMWare servers are Display Servers which generate Display Clients as well. Display Clients in turn generate Virtual Displays that can be assigned to terminals or users in a ThinManager environment. Once displays are assigned via ThinManager they can be laid out on an array of monitors in almost any fashion. Displays can even be assigned to a particular user so that their displays follow them from terminal to terminal as they log in and out.**
ThinManager has moved beyond just being terminal services management software to a full-fledged platform for visualizing your entire process control environment.
Quicker installs with less configuration
No hard drive means no software to install on the Thin Clients. Terminal Server environments allow a single install of each application for use by all connected Clients. Configuration Wizards make setup easier than ever before.
Lower cost
Lower cost CPU, no floppy or hard drives, and less memory means Thin Clients are less expensive.
Less maintenance
Maintenance is reduced to a few servers in a central location. The constant maintenance of distributed PC operating systems is eliminated with Thin Clients.
Improved At-A-Glance Management
Manage your entire network from ThinManager by viewing all ThinManager Servers and all Terminal Servers in one tree. See which Clients are online and follow graphically the network path from the Clients back to all the servers. Configure and maintain each Client individually in ThinManager, or put the Clients into groups, and manage many Clients at once.
Remote Administration
View multiple servers and clients from a single ThinManager screen. This allows management of the Terminal Server network from a single machine regardless of how many clients or servers make up the system.
MultiSession
Simultaneously connect two or more terminal servers and run the applications you need. Switch between your sessions using a mouse click or keystroke. Now one ThinManager Ready thin client can give you access to all of your servers and programs.
SmartSession
Imagine a computer network that can make decisions about how to best allocate its resources. That’s what SmartSession does for
your terminal server network. As resources are used, SmartSession decides where to assign users to keep the Terminal Servers running at peak efficiency. SmartSession’s unique Queuing feature helps administrators manage the terminal server’s processor load by pausing individual clients before connection if necessary. Click here for more information.
Automatic Failover
In the event of a Terminal Server failure, the client will fail over to a back up server and continue working. Imagine the peace of mind this provides. ThinManager allows every Client to be assigned to several Terminal Servers. If the current Terminal Server fails, the Client will switch to another designated Terminal Server, allowing the unit to continue functioning in the event of a server failure.
Instant Failover
The Instant Failover Module allows Clients to run sessions on two Terminal Servers simultaneously. If the primary Terminal Server fails, the Client will instantly switch to the waiting session.
Graphs
ThinManager now includes real time memory and CPU usage graphs, and SmartSession enabled Terminal Servers have the ability to trend the graphs for up to one hour. ThinManager will even graph the load of all the servers in a SmartSession group, allowing improved terminal server network administration.
Event Logging
ThinManager retains and displays a history of terminal events that can be used to monitor thin client usage or troubleshoot.
Modules
Adding additional functions to Clients is as easy as selecting a module from the module list. Available modules include: Touch Screen, Screen Savers, USB Keyboard and Mouse, Local Storage and Local Printer modules.
We eliminate the 2 a.m. phone call.
Equipment failure is a crisis demanding quick attention. ACP ThinManager allows any ThinManager Ready Thin Client to be replaced by anyone in minutes instead of the hours required for standard Windows PC replacement. We turn down time into your time.
WinTMC
ThinManager supports WinTMC, ACP’s software client that provides a Windows PC the functionality of a Thin Client. It also gives ThinManager the ability to manage the PC, and even shadow its desktop, whether or not the user is running a terminal session. WinTMC even supports ThinManager's MultiMonitor functionality. Click here for more information.
MultiMonitor
ThinManager allows up to five monitors to be run from one thin client. MultiMonitor thin clients are available from third party vendors such as Arista and Advantech. Click here for more information.
TermSecure (5 TermSecure licenses are included with your initial ThinManager installation)
ThinManager adds a high-level of security to terminals on your thin client network. Control user access to applications through group permissions or to terminals using both group permissions and terminal scheduling. Five licenses are included with initial install of ThinManager.
