Rome, Italy, April 24, 2009 – NoMachine, creator and global provider of
NX desktop and application delivery software, today announced European
Synchrotron Radiation Facility's (ESRF) deployment of NX to share the
rare source of generated light beams in many simultaneous experiments
to make new scientific discoveries about a wide range of materials-from
biomolecules to nanomagnets. ESRF, located in Grenoble, France, is a
joint scientific facility shared by 19 European countries with one of
the top three largest synchrotrons in the world.
A widely shared
resource, ESRF hosts 6,000 researchers annually and NX provides them
the ability to easily access the software which controls the beamline
from home or remote locations across the world. Traveling to ESRF,
which is often difficult for many scientists, is no longer required as
NX provides them with access to the Unix graphical applications needed
in order to control the ESRF accelerator and debug beamline control
computer problems from anywhere. The mobile connectivity of NX allows
scientists to connect to the ESRF environment through the NX Client
within minutes, regardless of their location, to access their software
and analyze data.
ESRF worked closely with NoMachine Value
partner, TeMPO Consulting, in the initial pre-sales consultancy, who
advised them on the best solution for their infrastucture: NX
Enterprise Servers. Maurice Moretti, Director of TeMPO, comments,
“Owing to the easy and straightforward set-up, configuration procedure
and stability of the NX software, our intervention has been kept to a
minimum. This has always been a strong-point of NX and one that ESRF,
in particular, have been grateful for because of their need for a
high-performing environment.”
Research performed by scientists
using ESRF can be a very long and intense process. NX's session
resiliency allows scientists to run time-consuming, long duration
applications and continue to access and follow them from home or
another location. Furthermore, since almost all of ESRF's applications
run on Unix systems, NX proved to be a perfect fit as the most
efficient and effective solution on the market for access to the ESRF
remote desktops.
“The success of NX in the ESRF environment has
recently led the organization to implement NX for all experiments
conducted remotely,” System Administrator, Didier Gervaise said. “We
have had hundreds of users from across the globe register for access to
the ESRF system using NoMachine NX and this number continues to grow."
NX
Enterprise Server, being licensed per-server and not per-user, can host
tens, or even hundreds of concurrent sessions on a single computer,
bringing the cost of large-scale deployments down to a fraction of
competing products. Enterprises and organizations leverage the power of
NX Enterprise Server to maximize their hosted desktop deployment and to
allow mobile and remote user access to applications across any network,
using any device. Whether accessing applications from home or on the
road, NX Server's outstanding compression, session resilience and
resource management allows users to access their application
environment securely, quickly and efficiently.
