VDI stands for "Virtual Desktop Infrastructure"
What is VDI?
VDI is the result of the
evolution of a server based architecture, allowing a low
cost Thin Client device to access a farm of virtual desktop PCs.
Using VMware® virtualization technology it is possible to
"migrate" a physical PC to a virtual PC inside a server farm
architecture. This allows the IT manager to perform central
management/backup tasks while at the same time providing users
access to their normal desktop from any location.
Access to the "virtual PC" is accomplished using a low cost
Thin Client, which offers the typical advantages of security, high
reliability, central management, low power consumption, and low noise factor in comparison with a desktop
PC.
User access to the virtual centralized PC desktop depends on the
architecture defined by the IT manager and it is addressed with
specific protocols. This functionality is offered by dedicated
services named "Connection Brokers"
The entire Praim by CompuMaster Thin Client product line
includes support for the most popular connection brokers, such
as Leostream®, Citrix®, VMWare®, offering full
compatibility with any VDI architecture.
With this development, CompuMaster demonstrates its continuing
commitment to keeping our thin client product line at the
forefront of new technology trends.

The XT Linux Thin Client series integrates support for the CUPS
printing standard, offering advanced printing support with a
"Windows like" configuration interface.
The integration of CUPS (Common Unix Printer System) allows
CompuMaster terminals to support advanced printer spooling using
the latest printer drivers. The Linux CUPS implementation is
ideally suited to those applications which require printing from
local clients (FireFox browser, Thunderbird email, OpenOffice,
Adobe PDF viewer).
Since the major printer vendors support CUPS, (HP, Brother,
Canon, etc), Linux applications such as OpenOffice, Thunderbird,
Firefox, and Adobe PDF can now print with the same quality and
ease as on a Windows based machine.
The new "Windows like" configuration wizard allows users to add
printers exactly like on a Windows PC. Printers can be defined
on local printer ports (LPT,COM,USB), or on the network (SMB,
LPD/LPR or RAW printing protocols).
As in Windows, local printers can be shared, offering a "print
server" service., Local printers can also be accessed by remote
connections via RDP or ICA terminal Services.
The printing services are also integrated with the ThinPrint
client, allowing the user to control and compress the network
printing bandwidth generated by remote host printing.
