Solutions ▶ Corporate Solution ▶ Overview


	Z!Stream, from SOFTonNET, Inc., allows IT managers to significantly reduce the total cost of software ownership by centralizing the deployment process, efficiently utilizing servers and network bandwidth, and providing a complete distribution of even the most cumbersome and integrated applications.
	Z!Stream provides next-generation application streaming technology that pushes the code required for a function to be performed to the individual desktop without downloading or installing the software on employee’s PCs.
	Through patent-pending Distributed Virtual Paging technology, Z!Stream enables the most efficient delivery of any Windows software by sending the fewest needed executables to client computers. The software runs on the client side, freeing server space and dramatically reducing network demand compared to terminal emulation. Z!Stream can be scaled to 400 concurrent users per server-ten times as many as competitive products in the marketplace.
	And Z!Stream is unique in its ability to stream the highly-interactive, multimedia software required for corporate training and sales tools.
	Specifically designed to completely distribute integrated applications, shared files and custom code, Z!Stream is easy to upload, easy to operate, and comes with a rich tool kit for installation and customization. Z!Stream provides IT managers with tools to set the maximum allowable concurrent users, create new accounts and give permission to run specific software packages. The system administrator can see, log, save and print concurrent usages per software package.
	Applications are ready for streaming within hours far faster than competitive products? Using Z!Stream 'auto-encoding' technology. Z!Stream delivers and self-installs client software to the desktop, checking, on-the-fly, the resources available on the client machine, and sending only the minimum necessary software executable codes and resources to run the application. With a Windows-like graphical user interface, Z!Stream ensures seamless use from first click to streamed delivery. Users are not required to download, install and then return to the delivered application. Actual response time of the software is maintained, and the user can see a list of recent applications or store a link to the application in a 'favorite' folder for more rapid access.
