Listeq introduces BoxedVDI.

Listeq has just released its first beta version of its new product: BoxedVDI. BoxedVDI is a VDI Multiseat software solution package to create a VDI multiseat solution using a single PC and up to 6 DisplayLink-powered Zero Client adapters.

BoxedVDI is the first multiseat solution based on full system virtualization and capable of running on top of a standard Windows operating system. By using full system virtualization, users can simultaneously use different operating systems. Supported "guest" operating systems include Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and various Linux distributions. BoxedVDI provides superior isolation between the user desktops while still maintaining a near native interactive user experience.

BoxedVDI is compatible with inexpensive DisplayLink powered Zero Client hardware from vendors like Plugable, HP, Wyse, Viewsonic, Targus and Atrust and most HID keyboard and mice.

BoxedVDI is developed for the educational market to facilitate low cost/low energy OS independent computer desktops. Instead of using a multi-user OS to run multiple Terminal Session, BoxedVDI runs a native single-user operating system for each desktop.

The product is completely software based and runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 32 and 64 bit versions.

A basic setup for 4-6 desktops will need 4-6 Zero Client adapters, a host computer with Intel i5-7 processor, around 8 Gbyte of memory and Windows 7 64 bit Professional.
