**Userful Revolutionizes Thin-Client Computing, with
Solution that is Twice as Fast and Half the Price**
**New True Zero Client solution supports all the leading
chipsets and devices**
*Calgary, Canada -- May 24th, 2012
-- Userful Corporation, the global leader in Linux desktop virtualization,
today announced the release of Userful MultiSeat v5, the first Linux-based software to deliver desktops on Ethernet true
zero client hardware. Less than half the cost of conventional thin clients, the
true zero client devices powered by Userful MultiSeat 5 offer a dramatically
richer and more responsive user experience, including flawless playback of 20+
simultaneous HD video streams from a
single standard PC. *
Users can now experience blazing
performance with dozens of Ethernet true zero clients, powered by just a single PC or server that can
be located anywhere within the network (LAN). With Userful MultiSeat 5, end
users have their own monitor, keyboard and mouse or touch screen, and can work
in multiple locations on different applications at the same time from the same
host computer.
MultiSeat 5 works with a broad range
of low-cost zero client device makers including HP, Viewsonic, Acer,
ThinGlobal, and LG. With Userful software running on the PC, these zero client
devices (which can connect via Ethernet or USB) create the most cost-effective,
powerful, and flexible thin-computing solutions in the industry.
Userful is working with OEMs to
apply this groundbreaking technology in digital signage, in-flight and in-room
entertainment, multiseat computing, kiosks and interactive touch displays, call
centers, cloud computing, and customer service desks as well as traditional
markets looking for a simpler, less expensive virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
"Viewsonic is proud to support
the latest release of Userful MultiSeat Linux 5 with our full line of
MultiClient Servers and Adapters. The solution includes a number of
configurability
improvements as well as USB-over-LAN
functionality, and provides exceptional performance for up to 20 or more
stations from a single computer," said Erik Willey, LCD Monitor and PC
Product Marketing Director for ViewSonic. "ViewSonic's MultiClient USB and
LAN adapters
when combined with the Userful
platform deliver a fully-managed low cost network, and can now be used to
replace or extend thin client installations or upgrade PC networks at a
fraction the cost of other existing solutions."
"Our OEM partners expect
high-performance, scalable solutions that deliver the ultimate desktop
experience and also address critical equipment and power costs," said
Userful President Tim Griffin. "Userful MultiSeat 5 exceeds these
expectations and allows OEMs the flexibility to expand their current customer
base accessing significant new markets with devices that out-perform and compete
in any conventional thin-client environment, but at half the price. Anyone
looking for high-performance low-cost endpoints needs to take a close look at
Userful."
Anyone can download the install DVD

ease of use of the solution.
