USB to VGA
ThinManager now allows you to convert a single monitor thin client to a multi monitor thin client By purchasing a 3rd party adaptor (DL 195 Chipset), you can now convert a single monitor thin client to a dual monitor thin client. Not only is it an inexpensive upgrade, butit also eliminates the need to purchase new thin clients to take advantage of MultiMonitor and MultiSession technology offered by ThinManager.
An added advantage of this feature is that our ThinManager software will prevent a user from expanding their multiple windows to an unusable size. ThinManager will review your hardware and determine a maximum size and resolution based on how many sessions you are attempting to monitor at the same time with your current hardware configuration.

ACP ThinManager to release Munici-Pack Licensing
ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA—ACP (Automation Control Products), a worldwide leader in the automation industry that provides full-feature centralized thin client and terminal server management software, has announced that they will be releasing a new “Munici-Pack” licensing option. Unlike standard ThinManager license packs that require the full installation to be in one physical location, the Munici-Packs allow a municipality the flexibility to use purchased licenses anywhere within their jurisdiction. This licensing option uses the recently released ThinManager 6.0 Platform which has several new functions and features such as iTMC, which allows any Apple iPad to run as a portable, wireless thin client, as well as worldwide remote access capability and improved support for a wide range of hardware and components. Specifics of the Munici-Pack License model can be found via the following link:

Real Security Is About Prevention Not Recovery
Over the last few months, we have been hearing more and more about the Stuxnet Worm. Originating in 2007, it became a topic of conversation in the main stream media after its global deployment in 2010. At the time, Symantec reported that less than 2% of all known Stuxnet infections were on machines in the United States. Now, almost two years later, it is once again front and center for both its relationship to the newly discovered Flame malware, and recent surge in infecting new networks and machines.

From the Factory Floor to the Front Office
