Quest and Ericom cooperate to extend vWorkspace reach to Chromebooks and other end point devices using HTML5 technology

Ericom has worked with Quest to release a version of its AccessNow HTML5 client that works with Quest vWorkspace to simplify access to remote Windows desktops and applications delivered by the Quest vWorkspace connection broker - from any HTML5-enabled device, including Google Chromebooks, iPads, Android devices and other mobile platforms.

Ericom AccessNow is a pure HTML5 RDP client that enables users to connect to any RDP host, including Terminal Server (RDS Session Host), physical desktops or VDI virtual desktops – and run their applications and desktops in a browser.

Ericom‘s AccessNow does not require Java, Flash, Silverlight, ActiveX, or any other underlying technology to be installed on end-user devices – an HTML5 browser is all that is required. 

Ericom AccessNow provides the following IT benefits:

- Support for user devices running Windows, Linux, Mac, Google Chromebooks, iPad / iPhone, Android, RIM Playbook / Blackberry and any other OS that supports an HTML5 compatible browser.

- IT staff do not have to manage or maintain separate product versions and updates for an ever-increasing variety of end-user devices; an HTML5 browser that supports WebSockets is all that is required.

- Companies with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies can continue to use any Windows Terminal Server / VDI / Blade PC environments they already have, protecting their existing IT assets.
