CAS Manager Rebranding

As part of the HP integration effort, HP-Teradici has launched a fresh new look and rebranding for the CAS suite of products.

• CAS Manager is rebranded as Anyware Manager.
• CAS Manager as a Service is rebranded as Anyware Manager as a Service.

AMT Power Management in Anyware Manager

Anyware Manager can now use Intel AMT® to remotely power operate physical workstations. Once the physical workstation is provisioned with Intel AMT® and is within the deployment, Power Management can be performed through the Admin Console or when a PCoIP session is established.

Workstation Session Information in Anyware Manager

With this release, we are introducing a new component called Anyware Manager Monitor. The focus of this new component is PCoIP session monitoring and management while offering the ability to log off users from remote workstations. Anyware Manager Monitor must be installed on the respective workstations to enable this feature.  

End of Session Clean up

Anyware Manager Monitor also enhances shared workstations' experience in a floating assignment pool. When a user disconnects from a machine assigned to them via a pool, it will immediately be marked as available for the next requested session. However, If a user disconnects without gracefully logging off,  IT Admins can force the session to end and log off the user via the Admin Console.
