HAWTHORNE, USA: HOB, Inc. has announced the latest build of its HOBLink JWT (Java Windows Terminal) client, version 3.3.

HOBLink JWT is a Java-based Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client which provides platform-independent remote access to applications centrally installed on Windows Terminal Servers (WTS).

Installed on a Web server, HOBLink JWT is preconfigured to provide fast, reliable access to the user. No local installation or administrative rights on the client machine are required.

Alternatively, it can be installed on local machines as well and moreover, it is a perfect add-on to existing SSL VPN infrastructures since it can be used in conjunction with any SSL VPN device. Besides the classical access to Windows Terminal Servers, HOBLink JWT also allows access to applications on Linux/Unix and Apple Mac OS X platforms with the additional solution gateways, HOB X11Gate and HOB MacGate.

"Since the advent of the Windows Terminal Server, Windows users have enjoyed the benefits of accessing applications residing on a central server," said Klaus Brandstaetter, CEO of HOB, Inc.
