Desktop Multiplier Overview
The Linux Desktop Multiplier software, powered by Userful, allows up to 10 concurrent users to share a single SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop computer! This is a great opportunity for organizations to re-purpose their existing Windows desktops or maximize their fixed desktop budget for new equipment.
Each Multiplied SLED 10 station delivers exceptional performance at a fraction of the cost of stand-alone desktops or thin clients (LTSP, Windows Terminal Services, Citrix). Simply add off-the-shelf dual-head video cards, monitors, keyboards, mice and USB hub to an existing SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop computer and install the Linux Desktop Multiplier.
By consolidating up to nine out of 10 physical PCs, the Multiplied SLED 10 Strategy delivers significant cost savings on your desktop hardware, management, maintenance, electricity and infrastructure costs.
