HDX Plug-n-Play

Simple access to peripherals and other local resources

In a virtual desktop(VDI) or virtual application environment, HDX Plug-n-Play enables simple connectivity for USB, multi-monitor, printers and other peripheral devices, as well as local machine resources. These capabilities include:

Client time zone support – Automatically adjusts the time zone based on the user’s location instead of the server’s location.
Dynamic display reconfiguration – Ensures that the display automatically configures correctly when users switch devices or plug in new monitors.
File type association and content redirection – Configures whether a local or hosted application should be launched when a file is opened, and where data should be saved.
Multi-monitor support – Enables users to have their desktops and applications span across multiple monitors and screen layouts.
Panning and scaling – Enables users to zoom in and pan on a much larger desktop or application window while viewing from a smaller display area on their local device.
Smart Card support – Enables the use of a smart card to authenticate user into their desktop and applications
Special folder redirection – Enables special folders such as My Documents and Desktop to map to a user’s session automatically. The application can ask the operating system where an appropriate location for certain kinds of files can be found, regardless of what version, language or operating system is being used.
TWAIN image scanning device support – Redirects client-connected TWAIN imaging devices (like document scanners) from the client to the server, regardless of connection type. This allows users to control client-attached imaging devices from applications that run on the server; the redirection is transparent.
Universal print driver – Provides local printer access on a variety of platforms and accelerates print jobs while using less bandwidth and memory. Users can access advanced printer functions like stapling and trays.
USB support – Lets users connect USB devices and use them with their hosted virtual applications and desktops.
