For Server-based Computing (SbC)/ Application Virtualization Environments

UniPrint Server provides a simple, robustand reliable fat-client printing solution forCitrix/Terminal Server environments.

UniPrint Terminal Server Edition (TSE)makes network printing simple and efficientfor organizations that use MicrosoftTerminal Services to deliver applications totheir workforces. It provides the same coreprinting functionality as UniPrint Server.

UniPrint Gateway Edition is the totalprinting solution for complex networksusing Citrix/Terminal Servers. It enablesfast, consistent and secure “client-less”printing for thin-client and fat-client users. It also allows administrators to centrallymanage and remotely deploy printers.

UniPrint Gateway Terminal ServerEdition (Gateway TSE) is designedspecifically for all client platformsconnecting to Terminal Servers. It offers thesame features and functionality as UniPrintGateway Edition.

For Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)/Desktop Virtualization Environments

UniPrint VDI Edition enables easy access,fast printing and secure delivery for all clientplatforms in VDI environments. UniPrint VDIEdition is compatible with VMware View(including VMware VDI), Citrix XenDesktopand Microsoft Desktop Virtualization.

For Mixed Non-Windows and Windows Environments

UniPrint Host Edition offers a simple,flexible and low-budget alternative totraditional printing in mainframe/hostenvironments (e.g. UNIX, AIX, AS/400, IBM Power Series, System z and Linux). It allows Windows desktop users to crossserver platforms accessing the hostsystem, and print to Windows-basedprinters. It is a perfect fit for usersconnected to the host system via a dumbterminal or a terminal emulation program, or accessing the host system throughCitrix/Terminal Servers. Users requiringbatch printing will also find this to be aperfect solution.

UniPrint™offers a suite of six (6) software-based solutions for optimizing printing

functionality. The solutions can function independently, or be integrated to build an enterprise-wide printing solution in complex environments. All UniPrint solutions are compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
