“The best Linux Remote Desktop Server”
Here at Cendio, our team work together, putting all efforts into making it easier to get access to Linux desktops. We make it specifically by providing a Linux Remote Desktop Server software and support services for this software to make sure it works well.

Our ambition is to make ThinLinc, our software, “The best Linux Remote Desktop Server.”

Let us explain, through ThinLinc’s key properties, why we think ThinLinc is the solution for fulfilling your Linux user needs.

Any device or system
ThinLinc lets users access their Linux-based desktops and applications on any device, anywhere with an internet connection. It integrates easily with existing infrastructure on the server-side as it works with a wide range of Linux distributions.

– It gives flexibility and freedom of choice for users and system administrators. Use what you have or choose what you like.
– Avoid vendor lock-in since administrators have the freedom of choice. As a consequence, there is an efficient use of resources – do more with less.
– Works with your Linux of choice, giving the freedom to use existing infrastructure for services such as authentication and storage. It does not require the administrator to ditch all the previous work and investment.
– Flexibility and ease of use for all end-users, from any device, such as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), any OS, anywhere.

– ThinLinc development uses well known open standards for maximal security and compatibility.
– It works with popular Linux distributions and desktop environments.
– The native client is easily available and installable for common platforms and free of charge.
– Our HTML5-based web access client is available for all common browsers.

Local experience
ThinLinc aims to provide performance and functionality that makes the remote session indistinguishable from a local session. The end-user should not have to sacrifice anything about their local desktop experience.

– Take remote access to the next level. Satisfied end-users mean increased uptake and acceptance, and the ability to provide all users with an excellent remote experience, without compromising performance, security, and functionality.
– Optimized for low-bandwidth networks to provide a consistent experience across connections. Performance and responsiveness are equivalent to a local session, including graphics acceleration.
– No compromise on functionality. Users have access to full-duplex audio, both local and server printers, local drives, multiple screens, and selected peripheral devices.

– Fullscreen and multi-screen support, use the same workflow as you would with a local session
– Audio, local printing support, local drive support to give a local experience
– Graphical performance equivalent to a local session
– Server-side graphics acceleration for OpenGL-based applications, via VirtualGl.

Secure over any network
ThinLinc sends all network traffic over encrypted tunnels, making all connections secure against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. This way, ThinLinc eliminates risks associated with using a shared system over the network.

– Continuously developed and thoroughly tested, with reliability and security in focus. Cendio houses experts with decades of cumulative experience.
– Core components based on open standards, built from auditable open-source code.
– All network traffic encrypted by default, using military-grade encryption.
– Used and trusted by security-conscious organizations worldwide.
– Based on well-known open-source projects, known for reliability and security.
– Client-side isolation means that insecure end-user devices do not compromise the security of the system.

– All traffic between the ThinLinc client and server is encrypted (SSH/TLS).
– Multiple authentication methods are available to offer both flexibility and secure login.

Reliable and robust
ThinLinc reduces the complexity of maintaining a Linux environment and minimizes the consequences of any errors by keeping as much functionality as possible when some part malfunctions.
