Terminal Services For InTouch 9.0
Terminal Services allows you to install InTouch� on a central server once and then execute the software multiple times. Client computers need only connect to a terminal session of InTouch that resides on the server. The "thin" client could be a PC terminal or an embedded terminal device running any one of a variety of operating systems.
Users throughout the enterprise will be able to access, visualize and interact with real-time HMI (human-machine interface) information from Wonderware's InTouch, without a full-blown InTouch installation resident on the local computer.
