Benefits of Propalms TSE

Propalms TSE thin client software

Completing the Terminal Services Experience
Propalms TSE is designed to make the most of your Windows® Terminal Services deployment by leveraging the most recent enhancements to the Microsoft® Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). TSE adds indispensable management capabilities even to small-to-medium business deployments and scales to accommodate growing numbers of users, applications and servers securely, reliably, and cost-effectively.

The Benefits

• Ensure privacy, security and policy-based access to sensitive corporate data
• Manage workload across servers to assure high application availability
• Reduce capital investment significantly with a service-based purchasing model

Secure Data Access

Controlled Access

Propalms TSE ties in with existing domain structures (NT4 domain, Active Directory) and provides granular control over which users, groups of users or organizational units (OUs) have access to a defined set of server-based applications. Only users and groups authenticated by their domain credentials and provisioned through TSE's full-featured systems management console will be able to access certain applications and data.

Privacy Through Encryption

All sensitive information is encrypted from the login request right through to the delivery of an application and data:

• Users accessing the Propalms TSE system from outside their company's firewall will be routed via a single, configurable port to TSE's Relay Server component which makes the firewall traversal much easier
• The Relay Server will expose a single IP address to the client representing the entirety of the application server team, which makes Terminal Server access much more secure
• Individual IP addresses of the Terminal Servers will be hidden behind the firewall
• Terminal Servers can also be locked down to prevent RDP sessions not originating from the Propalms TSE system

Managed Privileges

At the time an application, or a range of applications, is published to an individual user or the member of a group, TSE will create user-specific shortcuts on that user's desktop or application portal, the Application Launch Pad, so that:

• A user does not have access to applications when they are no longer a member of the domain or have access privileges removed
• Shortcuts are removed when the user next logs in to the system
• All application usage is monitored, metered and reported in the Management Console for quality of service and audit purposes

Policy Enforcement

TSE's Client Policy EngineTM allows system administrators to:

• Define groups of client devices identified by their IP address, NetBIOS name, operating system or organizational unit (OU)
• Assign certain application access policies to client groups to reflect types of connection settings according to available bandwidth, printer mappings or security settings related to saving files and passwords locally
• Set and enforce security policies based not only on who the user is, but also whether the access device is a trusted or non-trusted device based on its physical location

Return on Investment

From IT staff to each end user, TSE helps your business save time, money and resources.

IT Managers
TSE allows IT Managers to do more with what they have. With intelligent reporting, they finally have the data to lower software license costs, helping to manage tight budgets and spend more on strategic projects. Employees are often scattered geographically. TSE speeds the deployment of applications everywhere to better support local and remote offices.

System Administrators
TSE makes it easy to manage applications centrally. It is simple to install and implement and, because it is web-based, the complete system can be managed from anywhere. As organizations grow, TSE scales to support hundreds or thousands of users.

End Users
End users want to run their applications wherever and whenever they need to. If a PC is down they still need to access applications from a central server. With TSE software, the IT department can be even more responsive. Users can not even tell that the applications are not running on their PC and there is no time wasted with viruses or updating software.
