Multi User PC

SoftXpand - Desktop Virtualization Software

Today's PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of people use only a small fraction of their available computing power. SoftXpand Desktop Virtualization Software taps the unused capacity so that multiple users can simultaneously share a single PC.

Mutliple Users On One PC

Each user gets their own virtual workspace (applications, settings, files, and preferences), but at a fraction of what it would cost with individual computers. So even though eight people share a single multi user PC, they each get their own rich PC experience.

Easy to install

Each SoftXpand Multi Seat system contains the powerful, award-winning SoftXpand desktop virtualisation software, full VGA/HD15 graphics, and utilises standard peripheral access devices. Installation and PC set up is easy: just install the SoftXpand desktop virtualisation software onto the multi user PC, plug the workstations directly onto the VGA/DVI output sockets, attach a keyboard and mouse to the USB hub and let the system automatically determine each user ID. Finally, set the users password and access details exactly as you would with a standard desktop PC. That’s all. Now, multiple users can enjoy their own independent virtual desktops.

Powerful & flexible

Software applications run simultaneously and independently on each virtual desktop. Users don’t even know that they are sharing a PC! Your staff and users won’t need special training. They will also love getting their desk space back— SoftXpand systems do not require additional hardware simply a connection back to the host PC. Yet they give each user a rich Windows workspace. Users enjoy multimedia with sound and full-motion video at screen resolutions of up to 1280x1024 or 1440x900 (wide screen). With additional support for power users who want to have 2 screen setups.

Economical & efficient

With a system running with SoftXpand Virtual Desktop Software, you can easily lower your computing acquisition and support costs by up to 70%. You will also save money on electricity. The highly efficient SoftXpand systems uses only 16% of the energy required by a comparable stand alone PC based system. It is clearly the greenest computing solution available.
