Cortado, maker of the print solution ThinPrint and OEM partner of VMware, now provides complete printing support of VMware Horizon 6. Version 10 of the ThinPrint Engine, which was released this year, adds to the OEM solution with functions like ThinShare for print data compression in all printing paths, and the virtual print driver, ThinPrint Output Gateway for driver-free printing, even in Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) environments.
VMware recently released VMware Horizon 6 (with View), a complete desktop and application virtualization solution. With Horizon 6, VMware now supports the delivery of virtual desktops alongside RDSH (formerly Microsoft Terminal Server) and published applications.
Cortado’s ThinPrint Engine 10 supports the VMware Horizon 6 release with an optimized print solution that provides printing support for virtual desktops, Remote Desktop Services (RDS) remote apps, and software as a service (SaaS) apps.
ThinPrint Engine is designed to keep the virtual desktops and RDS hosted applications, as well as the physical workstations, free of printer drivers and to provide end users with an interface for all printers regardless of the manufacturer. This is useful when, for example, virtual desktops/applications are used together with thin clients and local or network printers.
Challenges in virtual environments are often presented by the high volume of data passed across the network when printing. ThinPrint solves this issue, states Cortado, by compressing print data up to 98 percent. Additionally, the print solution features functions like ThinPrint SpeedCache, support for advanced printing options– including finishing and font management.
The ThinPrint Engine 10 can be tested for 30 days without obligation. Visit www.thinprint.com/10-demo for more information.
