Embedded Linux client solution for “thin” devices
May 11, 2001 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — viewsSanta Cruz, CA — (press release excerpt) — Tarantella, Inc., today launched a native code component designed for embedding in Linux based Internet appliances and network devices.
The client code is remarkably simple to use and can also be of use in client environments where browser usage in not permitted or desired. Terminal vendors can gain access to the code for embedding into their device through free membership in the Tarantella Technology Alliance Group (TAG), which was also launched today.
“Not all terminal and thin client devices are capable of executing browsers and Java Virtual Machines,” said Andrew Bovingdon, Director of Product Marketing for Tarantella. “Our new small native client component gives these extremely cost effective devices the ability to easily access diverse, server based systems and applications through Tarantella-enhanced IT infrastructures.”
