Significantly more cost effective than Citrix®, Propalms TSE
thin client software is an indispensable alternative to Citrix®

Server 2003 and 2000 environments.
Propalms TSE leverages the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol
(RDP) as a standard building block, adding an intelligent management
layer and protecting customers' long-term investments in the Microsoft
platform.
Propalms TSE is simple to install and easy to administer
and use, and implements Windows server applications and the Windows
desktop through a single, unified and portable browser interface
to provide the following features:
- Privacy, security and policy-based access to sensitive corporate
data
- Manage workload across servers to assure high application
availability
- Reduce capital investment with a service-based purchasing
model
Propalms TSE is a complete management solution which uses
the base technologies of Microsoft Windows to provide a complete
solution that manages the delivery of software to end users, application
servers and server-hosted Windows applications.
A Propalms TSE server team is a combination of all the servers
that have Windows Terminal Services Edition software installed:
One or more Windows Terminal Servers
One or more Microsoft IIS web servers
One or more TSE load balancers
One or more Relay Servers
Application Publishing
Using Propalms TSE, Windows based applications are made available
to Thin Clients and Fat Clients (PC's). The Propalms TSE software
maintains a list of applications for every user, and the applications
can be published directly to a user's account or to organisational
units (OUs) or groups of users.
Application Launch Pad
The application launch pad is primarily where applications are launched
and from where the Propalms TSE client is distributed. The first
time a thin client user logs on, TSE creates a User Menu in the
Windows Start menu to provide an alternate way for the user to launch
applications.
Client Components
TSE uses small but important client-side components to enhance the
user's terminal services experience with features such as printing
to local printers, accessing client drives and hiding the native
Terminal Server desktop.
Load Balancing
When an application is launched, the Propalms TSE client contacts
the TSE load balancer to identify the best application server for
this request - the load balancer can identify the best server (or
if a server has failed) by continuously rating the application server
load metrics.
Application Hosting
TSE launches the application host on the application server instead
of launching the application directly This lies behind many of the
special enhancements to the RDP connection that TSE provides.
Session Management
Once the users are connected to a server, TSE tracks and monitors
the active sessions using the application host. Administrators can
perform session management functions like resetting a session or
shadowing a session from a central console.
Reporting
Throughout all processes TSE collects data and composes reports
that administrators can view to evaluate application and system
usage. Administrators can also download this information to create
their own reports.
