There are other alternatives to launching a pilot program for Macs. Here is a great solution for enterprises: deploy the Mac OS desktop and applications by using a terminal server. A company called Aqua Connect has developed a terminal server that works with thin clients, smart phones, Mac desktops and laptops, and PCs to deploy the Mac OS experience. Terminal servers have been available for the Windows platform for some time, but Aqua Connect is doing it for the Mac. The Aqua Connect Terminal Server allows any device that is VNC or X11 compatible to connect a Mac OS X Server. The new version of Aqua Connect also has RFB and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) support (RDP is built into most Windows systems). Multiple users can remotely connect from anywhere to the centralized Mac OS X Server running Aqua Connect. Users can now access the Mac Desktop and applications and run them from a variety of different hardware. As we know, large corporations are usually resistant to change and many small businesses believe they cannot afford the across-the-board switch from PCs to Macs. Aqua Connect allows Mac deployment for enterprises and small businesses that is affordable, easy, and practical. All that is needed is a Mac OS X Server.
For enterprises, this is a very viable solution for Mac deployment. The benefits go beyond allowing PCs, smart phones and thin clients to operate as a Mac. Enterprises can centralize IT, making them more secure and protecting them against data leakage. Aqua Connect Terminal Server can also enhance an enterprise’s application administration and maintenance. For example, once an application is updated on the server, that update will take effect on all users who run the Aqua Connect Terminal Server. This allows updating and patching of software to be centralized to the server alone. This company offers a scalable enterprise solution for Mac deployment that works and can be implemented right now. I think it’s a great idea and a very feasible solution. Users can try out the Mac OS and applications while using a variety of different hardware. Aqua Connect is more efficient and economical than a pilot program, and it offers all of the benefits of a full scale Mac deployment!
