Aqua Connect Terminal Server 3.0 Adds Mac Leopard Compatibility and RDP Support

September 28, 2008 by Robin Wauters 1 Comment

Aqua Connect, a vendor of Macintosh terminal services, today announced the release of its Aqua Connect Terminal Server 3.0 software. The newest release is compatible with Mac OS 10.5 Leopard and offers support for Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

This development establishes Aqua Connect as the first company to license and implement RDP server for the Mac platform. The release of the Leopard version has been highly anticipated and Aqua Connect has delivered more functionality than previous versions. This version allows new organizations and existing terminal server users to easily integrate the Mac platform into existing IT infrastructures.

The Aqua Connect Terminal Server 3.0 includes substantial upgrades over the previous versions while still delivering the core features that made ACTS the standard in Mac terminal services.

DiscCloud Launches Virtual Appliance for Mac OS X

September 8, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

DiscCloud today announced the release of the DiscCloud Virtual Appliance, the world’s first desktop virtualization platform designed for Mac OS X clients.

With DiscCloud, Mac desktops can be centrally administered, supported, and maintained using trusted and well known practices used by VMware professionals. The DiscCloud Virtual Appliance runs as a Virtual Machine on VMware Server and ESX class products, and hence on vast assortment of standard x86 platforms.

DiscCloud extends existing capabilities of the Mac desktop, via advanced VMware features such as automated backup, continuous availability, storage scalability, mobility, and desktop disaster recovery.

DiscCloud’s approach to desktop virtualization is 100% Apple license compliant, and supports Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) clients.

Next VMware Fusion 2.0 Beta Will Support Mac OS X Leopard Server

June 13, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Last January, at Macworld, VMware delivered a preview of Mac OS X Leopard Server installing and running as a virtual machine on Mac OS X. In honor of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, the VMware Fusion team has announced that Mac OS X Leopard Server support will be available in VMware Fusion 2.0’s next beta.

This is a result of changes in Mac OS X Leopard Server’s license agreement, which now allows users to run multiple copies of Mac OS X Server on a single Apple computer.

“Virtual Leopard Server is a huge leap forward for Mac server administrators, developers, and more, and we’re truly excited to bring this to the Mac community, in VMware Fusion 2.0, which will be a free upgrade for all VMware Fusion 1.x customers.”

Here’s a short video the team put out:

Parallels Server Beta program launched

January 10, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Leopard server virtual machines are now possible in the Parallels Server Open beta launch.

The Parallels Server Beta program, invites you to toss your proverbial hat into the ring and help them get the product ready for shipping. Parallels Server seems packed with lots of great stuff, like:

The ability to run more than 50 different x86 and x64 guest operating systems on any, Windows, Linux and Mac OS X Server. That’s right, this isn’t just a Mac product; its ready to go on just about any server, PC or Mac.

The option to run virtual machines either in lightweight hypervisor mode (similar in implementation to Desktop for Mac) or in the headless mode via a “bare metal” hypervisor. This second option is particularly interesting as it enables VMs to run in parallel (pun intended) without being dependent on a primary operating system

The ability to – for the first time EVER – run Mac OS X Leopard Server in a virtual machine! Yes, you heard right; if you’re a Mac user, you will be able to run Leopard Server in its own VM. Great for testing and development, but also important for Mac Server admins who want to maximize their Xserve hardware.
