Stateless Computing Comes to Life with Upgrade of Symbiont Boot Appliance - Symbio Technologies--whose innovative approach to server-centric, stateless computing using stateless thin clients and a unique boot appliance has won certifications, awards, and contracts in the private and public sectors--has introduced an upgrade to its popular Symbiont Boot Appliance. Pioneered and developed by Symbio Technologies, The Symbiont Boot Appliance (SBA) is a rack-mount appliance that boots stateless devices with no internal operating system, embedded software, file systems, or network addresses. The new SBAv5 also allows creation of multiple virtual subnets, improving the network architect's ability to separate the activities of up to 250 individual users from one another. The Symbiont Boot Appliance boots and directs stateless thin clients to multiple application servers that run a wide variety of terminal services protocols. The new SBAv5 now supports LDM (X over SSH) and VNC, and adds a Java-enabled web browser to its capabilities, which already supports Windows Terminal Services (RDP), Citrix (ICA), Linux/Unix (X), VMware VDI, IBM 5250 and 3270, NoMachine, and virtually any midrange, mainframe and other legacy systems.
