Ericom Announces FREE Presentation Virtualization Solution that Enhances Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services


CLOSTER, New Jersey, February 27 /PRNewswire/ --

- Ericom(R) PowerTerm(R) WebConnect for Windows Server 2008 is the first 
comprehensive and commercially supported FREE application access solution to 
extend the value and increase the adoption of Windows Server 2008 Terminal 
Services

Ericom Software, a leading global provider of Application Access and
Virtualization solutions and a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, today
announced a special version of its flagship product line -- PowerTerm
WebConnect for Windows Server 2008 -- that provides enhancements to
Microsoft's newest Terminal Services release. These enhancements are
available now for FREE and are distributed through a download from Ericom's
website at www.ericom.com/ws08.

Windows Server 2008 provides significant enhancements to the Microsoft
Terminal Services platform and further extends its functionality, including
access to seamless applications and remoting applications. The launch of
Windows Server 2008 will trigger a surge in Server Based Computing (SBC)
adoption and expose the market to SBC's benefits. For entry-level
installations, small and medium businesses, Windows Server 2008 can be the
first step in understanding what a comprehensive SBC solution offers
organizations. As organizations begin to grasp the benefits of SBC, they will
come to realize that Windows Server 2008, even with all its new capabilities,
requires significant enhancements to become a true enterprise-wide
application access solution.

The combined Ericom and Microsoft solution is designed to support
organizations looking to deploy business critical applications and simplify
deployment, management and the user experience of the new Windows Server 2008
Terminal Services platform.

The overall benefits of Ericom's PowerTerm WebConnect for Windows Server
2008 are:

-- Simplicity of setting up the environment and ease of use
       Within hours of installing PowerTerm WebConnect for Windows Server 
       2008 (installation in 15 minutes!), the Windows Server 2008 
       environment will be configured with applications published to the 
       users.

    -- Simple to configure and manage
       The application publishing process is straightforward and allows, in
       one process, the ability to publish dozens of applications to users, 
       or groups of users. Application availability will be dynamically 
       updated for all connected users immediately after the administrator 
       has made changes to the application rights for the users and/or 
       groups.

    -- Improved end-user environment
       Applications will be dynamically available to users from PowerTerm
       WebConnect's Application Zone (a folder-like interface) on the 
       desktop, from the Start Menu, from the Sys Tray and from PowerTerm 
       WebConnect's Application Portal (web interface).

    -- Enhanced Security
       PowerTerm WebConnect for Windows Server 2008 is fully integrated with
       Active Directory and allows deployment through different interfaces
       based on the group to which the user belongs.



Additional features include centralized management, logging, auditing and
more.

Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect for Windows Server 2008 is available as a
FREE download from Ericom's site at: www.ericom.com/ws08 with support
available as an option.

"Microsoft is pleased to be working with Ericom to expand the offerings
for Windows Server 2008 customers," said Manlio Vecchiet, Group Product
Manager for Windows Server Marketing at Microsoft Corp. "Our industry
partners play an essential role in helping ensure that our customers have one
of the best technology foundations available and PowerTerm WebConnect for
Windows Server 2008 will help our joint customers to extend the capabilities
of Terminal Services providing enhanced application publishing and
management."

"We believe that Windows Server 2008 will expose a vast new market to the
benefits of Server-Based Computing," said Eran Heyman, Ericom Founder and
CEO. "The security, performance and manageability of PowerTerm WebConnect
offers the users of Windows Server 2008 an even better experience, giving the
expanding SBC market a natural upgrade path for high value-add functionality.
