FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 27, 2005
WIN4LIN AND NOMACHINE TEAM UP TO OFFER A LINUX ALTERNATIVE
TO CITRIX AND MICROSOFT WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES
Win4Lin and NoMachine Announce Strategic Alliance
AUSTIN, TX and ROME, ITALY ? Win4Lin, a leading supplier of
enterprise virtualization solutions on Linux, announced
today a strategic partnership with NoMachine, the makers of
NX Server remote access and management software. The
partnership will develop and offer a Linux hosted
alternative to Citrix.
Win4Lin and NoMachine will develop a Windows and Linux
hybrid terminal server solution that can be used for
desktop productivity, line-of-business and legacy Windows
application access. The solution will be based on the
NoMachine NX Distributed Computing Architecture and Win4Lin
Terminal Server?.
"Win4Lin Terminal Server is the best way to serve up real
Windows sessions from a powerful and secure Linux server,?
said Mark Hinkle, VP of Business Development for Win4Lin.
"NoMachine redisplays hosted Windows clients with the best
combination of security, cost and performance compared to
any other commercial redisplay technology. Win4Lin
Terminal Server and NoMachine NX Distributed Architecture
together offer an enterprise-grade terminal server solution
that is the best."
More and more organizations are exploring next generation
architectures that leverage the ubiquity of large bandwidth
networks. Many believe the biggest opportunity for dramatic
cost savings and productivity gains will be in uncoupling
the end-user computing experience from the traditional
desktop. The high costs of maintenance of a ?stateful?
personal computer on a user?s desktop are driving
increasing numbers of companies to look at virtual access
computing as a way to mitigate the cost escalations of
desktop ownership.
?Combining NoMachine's capabilities of distributing
applications efficiently across the network along with
Win4Lin's expertise in offering award-winning tools for a
successful migration from Windows to Linux will provide a
vital bridge for all users who want to get out of the grip
of current terminal service solutions. This alliance is an
opportunity to offer not only a 100% Linux alternative, but
one that guarantees state-of-the-art performance,? said CEO
and CTO Gian Filippo Pinzari.
Win4Lin products enable users of all sizes ? from
individuals and small and medium organizations to large
enterprises - to more easily embrace the cost, reliability
and security advantages of an end-to-end Linux
infrastructure, without having to give up, port or re-write
viable legacy Windows applications. Win4Lin provides the
most compelling solution for bridging the compatibility gap
between Windows and Linux.
Win4Lin Product Family
Products in the Win4Lin family include Win4Lin Pro?,
Win4Lin 9X?, Win4Lin Terminal Server? and Win4Lin? Home.
Win4Lin Pro is the leading solution for running Windows
2000 and Windows XP applications and operating systems on
Linux.

NoMachine Product Suite
NX software is available in three license types: Personal
Edition, Small Business Edition and Enterprise Edition. The
Personal Edition is geared towards remote workers, and
users who need to access their home or office PC quickly
and securely from any location. SBE is suitable for those
companies or organizations that need to provide application
access to a small user group. Allowing up to 5 concurrent
sessions you can access files, email, applications and
network resources in real time, efficiently and securely.
Enterprise is ideal for the larger company and
multiple-user installations which are looking to boost
productivity, build a competitive advantage and cut costs
by delivering remote access to their mobile and remote
staff. The licensing policy of per-server means that
expensive CALS are eliminated and session numbers are
unlimited thus lowering TCO considerably further.
About NoMachine
NoMachine is the creator of NX software, the solution for
those looking for a quality alternative for remote access,
application deployment and outstanding performance. Behind
NoMachine software is the NX Distributed Computing
Architecture, a suite of Open Source technologies and
commercial tools, designed by NoMachine to make network
computing as easy and widespread as Web browsing. NoMachine
has built the foundations of its NXDCA on two well known
and widely used open standards, SSH and the X-Window
System, the windowing system which is behind the GUIs of
Linux and the Unix Operating System. For more information,
