Architecture

The architecture for a Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Workstation deployment is composed of:

Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Workstation acts as a secure, high-performance HTTP / WebSockets server, which serves the web pages needed to run the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client on the web browser.

When the end-user accesses the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop main page and enters the appropriate connection parameters, the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client communicates with the server machine, using Ajax and WebSockets (if available) to start the connection to the remote-end.

Once the connection is established, the server machine will receive RDP commands, optimize them for the web, and send the resulting data stream to the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client.

The remote computer can be accessed from any OS platform through any HTML5 compliant browser like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer 9, etc. Versions 8 and previous of Internet Explorer do not support HTML5. However, they can be enhanced with Google Chrome Frame to make them fully compliant with Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Workstation.

Requirements:

With Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Server any Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android and iOS user can remote into Windows Desktops or work with single Windows Applications
