|
|
Z!Stream is a middleware server platform (software based) that facilitates streaming of Microsoft's Windows based applications from an application container in the backend to the end users over the Internet, Extranet and Intranet. The only requirement from an end user is to have a browser on his/her desktop. Through a client browser to an embedded application link on a web site, an end user clicks and can stream a desired application to his/her desktop. In the process, the user is redirected from a web site via Z!Stream, the manager to the Program Container Server (PCS). PCS then sends the pages of the executable binary file to the end user's desktop to collect required information. This is then communicated directly to the PCS. In response, PCS sends the pages necessary to run functions of the application software. |
