We
are pleased to bring the GO-Global
remote access solution to FileMaker Pro users. Now your employees can
access your FileMaker Pro solution from anywhere, using any operating
system. This solution is simple, affordable, secure, scalable, and
very fast.
GO-Global for Windows makes it easy to publish your
FileMaker Pro solution to your network or the Web. Now you can make
any FileMaker Pro solution instantly accessible to local and remote users,
while retaining all the features and functionality that your business depends
on.
GO-Global for Windows is a server-based, ultra thin-client
solution that eliminates the need for Citrix MetaFrame or Windows Terminal
Services. It’s optimized for reliable, secure, scalable FileMaker Pro
solution delivery to virtually any network-attached device, regardless of
platform or operating system.
For maximum performance – and ease of deployment
and maintenance – GO-Global publishes only the FileMaker Pro application
interface, not the entire desktop. With the near-zero-footprint clients,
only the FileMaker Pro application is delivered over the network and displayed
on the remote devices. GO-Global can be used to publish any Windows 32 application
to remote users, not just a FileMaker Pro solution.
GO-Global Features:
Network,
remote dial-up, and remote Web accessibility. GO-Global
provides access to 32-bit Windows-based applications from GO-Global
Servers via the network, remote dial-up, or through Web access.
This is managed through the Cluster Manager, and is transparent
to the end user.
Cross-platform
compatibility. GO-Global provides access to any Windows
application from virtually any client platform. Applications
can be run from desktop computers such as Macintosh, UNIX,
Windows, and Linux—allowing users to work in their preferred
computing environments. Windows-based applications deployed
through GO-Global look, feel, and function as if they were
running on a Windows operating system, regardless of the client
platform.
Client
printing. GO-Global provides transparent access to
client-side printers and produces printed output with no quality
degradation. In most cases, GO-Global will determine the list
of printers installed on the client computer, and the printer
driver and port of each client printer. If a printer driver
is not installed on the server, GO-Global will attempt to automatically
install the driver. If a driver cannot be automatically installed,
users can configure printer drivers using the Program Window's
Client Printer Wizard.
Client
sounds. GO-Global supports sound capability for applications
that use PlaySound, sndPlaySound, or waveOut. It is not required
that sound cards and/or speakers be installed on GO-Global
Servers. The client machine, however, does require a sound
card and speakers.
Client
file access. GO-Global supports seamless integration
of client drives, including floppy, CD-ROM, hard disk, and
mapped network drives. This allows users to access files stored
on the client computer and to save files locally.
Encryption. GO-Global
supports 40-bit DES encryption. Administrators are able to encrypt
all data transmitted between the client and the server, including
the client’s password and username, and any application
data.
Server
monitoring. GO-Global provides real-time monitoring
of individual GO-Global Servers, control of individual clients
and processes, and logout and shutdown for individual users.
User
roaming. Internal and remote users can log on to a
GO-Global Server from any client workstation.
Pass-through
authentication. With pass-through authentication enabled,
users are logged on to the GO-Global Server without having
to supply their user name and password. When a user connects
to a GO-Global Server, the Program Window launches without
presenting the user with the Logon dialog.
Session
shadowing. The session shadowing feature allows multiple
users to view and control a single session and its applications.
This feature allows help desk personnel and system administrators
to help troubleshoot and debug user problems. Session shadowing
may also be used for live collaboration.
Load
balancing. Load balancing distributes user sessions
across multiple GO-Global Servers. When load balancing is enabled,
users can reconnect to a disconnected session running on any
one of the load-balanced servers.
Session
reconnect. With session reconnect enabled, GO-Global
maintains client sessions on the server without a client connection.
If a user deliberately disconnects from the server, or if the
client’s connection is lost due to network problems,
the user’s session and applications remain running on
the server for the length of time specified by the administrator.
Performance
Counters: New performance counters can be added to
the Windows Performance Monitor to track the number of active
sessions and the number of clients connected to a server. GO-Global
Server performance counters allow administrators to monitor
server activity from any machine with network access to a GO-Global
Server.
GO-Global Server Components:
Application
Publishing Service. The Application Publishing Service
manages client connections, authenticates users on the GO-Global
Server, and launches applications.
Program
Window. The Program Window is a 32-bit application that
contains the user interface for launching applications via GO-Global.
The Program Window displays a list of applications the user is
authorized to run. The application runs on the server, but its
user interface is displayed on the client using the Display Server.
Display
Server. The Display Server is a dynamic link library
(DLL) that is responsible for redirecting an application’s
user interface to the client computer. It intercepts Windows
function calls that affect the application’s display and
forwards them to the GO-Global client.
Component
Server. The Component Server is a dynamic link library
(DLL) that is loaded into each application launched on the GO-Global
Server. The Component Server dynamically downloads and runs GO-Global
components and manages all client/server communication.
Cluster
Manager. The Cluster Manager is used by system administrators
to manage user access to applications on the GO-Global Server
and to register and manage applications from the GO-Global Server.
Other aspects of GO-Global administration rely on functionality
supplied by the server platform, such as administering user accounts
and user rights.
System
Extension Driver. The System Extension Driver is a dynamic
link library (DLL) that adds multi-user features and scalability
enhancement to the GO-Global Server.
Available GO-Global
Clients:
Windows
Client. The Windows Client is a 32-bit Windows application
that can be installed and run on most Windows computers.It
is extremely fast and the best way to run a FileMaker Pro solution
from a Windows workstation.
Macintosh
Client. The Macintosh Client is a lightweight X based
application that provides seamless integration with the native
Macintosh environment. It is extremely fast and the best way
to run a FileMaker Pro solution from a Macintosh workstation.
Linux
Client. The Linux Client is a lightweight native X
Window Systems application that delivers excellent performance
to Linux clients. It is extremely fast and the best way to
run a FileMaker Pro solution from a Linux workstation.
Java
Client. The Java Client is available to Windows, Macintosh,
OS/2, and Linux users. When running from a browser, users launch
GO-Global by browsing to an HTML page containing the Java applet.
The browser automatically downloads the GO-Global Client classes
and launches the applet.
Netscape
Plug-in. The Netscape Plug-in lets users connect to
a GO-Global Server using Netscape Navigator. To connect to
a GO-Global Server, users simply browse to an HTML page that
contains a link to the Plug-in. If the Plug-in is already installed
on the client machine, it is automatically loaded and run by
the browser. Otherwise, users are prompted to download the
Plug-in and install it on the desktop computer. The Netscape
Plug-in is available for Windows and Linux clients.
Microsoft
ActiveX Control. The Microsoft ActiveX Control is
available to Windows users running Internet Explorer. The ActiveX
Control is automatically installed the first time a user accesses
the HTML page containing the ActiveX Control.
Windows
