What is Userful Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED 10)?
Userful Multiplier is a software add-on for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop that turns 1 PC into 10. Each user station is a full client that has dedicated video access to the host PC. Performance is better than LTSP or other thin-client desktop strategies. The simple fact is that desktop processors have become so powerful that most users only take advantage of 6-8% of their PC. Rather than having the hardware sit idle, Userful Multiplier allows for up to 10 users to work simultaneously on the single desktop. Most users will not even know they are sharing. They log in normally. They have access to their own home directory either on the local system or network (if configured). For K-12 school districts, universities, colleges and other organisations who are feeling a bit of a budget crunch and need a strategy to deploy low-cost, eco-friendly, high-performance desktops, Userful Multiplier and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop from Novell present a compelling value proposition.
