• Network, remote dial-up, and remote Web accessibility. GO-Global provides access to 32-bit Windows-based applications from GO-Global Servers via the network, remote dial-up, or through Web access. This is managed through the Cluster Manager, and is transparent to the end user.
• Cross-platform compatibility. GO-Global provides access to any Windows application from virtually any client platform. Applications can be run from desktop computers such as Macintosh, UNIX, Windows, and Linux-allowing users to work in their preferred computing environments. Windows-based applications deployed through GO-Global look, feel, and function as if they were running on a Windows operating system, regardless of the client platform.
• Client printing. GO-Global provides transparent access to client-side printers and produces printed output with no quality degradation. In most cases, GO-Global will determine the list of printers installed on the client computer, and the printer driver and port of each client printer. If a printer driver is not installed on the server, GO-Global will attempt to automatically install the driver. If a driver cannot be automatically installed, users can configure printer drivers using the Program Window's Client Printer Wizard.
• Client sounds. GO-Global supports sound capability for applications that use PlaySound, sndPlaySound, or waveOut. It is not required that sound cards and/or speakers be installed on GO-Global Servers. The client machine, however, does require a sound card and speakers.
• Client file access. GO-Global supports seamless integration of client drives, including floppy, CD-ROM, hard disk, and mapped network drives. This allows users to access files stored on the client computer and to save files locally.
• Encryption. GO-Global supports 40-bit DES encryption. Administrators are able to encrypt all data transmitted between the client and the server, including the client's password and username, and any application data.
• Server monitoring. GO-Global provides real-time monitoring of individual GO-Global Servers, control of individual clients and processes, and logout and shutdown for individual users.
• User roaming. Internal and remote users can log on to a GO-Global Server from any client workstation.
• Pass-through authentication. With pass-through authentication enabled, users are logged on to the GO-Global Server without having to supply their user name and password. When a user connects to a GO-Global Server, the Program Window launches without presenting the user with the Logon dialog.
• Session shadowing. The session shadowing feature allows multiple users to view and control a single session and its applications. This feature allows help desk personnel and system administrators to help troubleshoot and debug user problems. Session shadowing may also be used for live collaboration.
• Load balancing. Load balancing distributes user sessions across multiple GO-Global Servers. When load balancing is enabled, users can reconnect to a disconnected session running on any one of the load-balanced servers.
• Session reconnect. With session reconnect enabled, GO-Global maintains client sessions on the server without a client connection. If a user deliberately disconnects from the server, or if the client's connection is lost due to network problems, the user's session and applications remain running on the server for the length of time specified by the administrator.
• Performance Counters: New performance counters can be added to the Windows Performance Monitor to track the number of active sessions and the number of clients connected to a server. GO-Global Server performance counters allow administrators to monitor server activity from any machine with network access to a GO-Global Server.

GO-Global Server Components

The GO-Global Server consists of the following components:

• Application Publishing Service. The Application Publishing Service manages client connections, authenticates users on the GO-Global Server, and launches applications.
• Program Window. The Program Window is a 32-bit application that contains the user interface for launching applications via GO-Global. The Program Window displays a list of applications the user is authorized to run. The application runs on the server, but its user interface is displayed on the client using the Display Server.
• Display Server. The Display Server is a dynamic link library (DLL) that is responsible for redirecting an application’s user interface to the client computer. It intercepts Windows function calls that affect the application’s display and forwards them to the GO-Global client.
• Component Server. The Component Server is a dynamic link library (DLL) that is loaded into each application launched on the GO-Global Server. The Component Server dynamically downloads and runs GO-Global components and manages all client/server communication.
• Cluster Manager. The Cluster Manager is used by system administrators to manage user access to applications on the GO-Global Server and to register and manage applications from the GO-Global Server. Other aspects of GO-Global administration rely on functionality supplied by the server platform, such as administering user accounts and user rights.
• System Extension Driver. The System Extension Driver is a dynamic link library (DLL) that adds multi-user features and scalability enhancement to the GO-Global Server.

GO-Global is an add-on product for ArchiOffice and must be purchased separately. GO-Global is sold as a floating license (like ArchiOffice), which means if you purchase two licenses, then two remote users could connect at the same time. Keep in mind that remote users are part of the network and require ArchiOffice licenses.
