HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

1.1 Typical RGS configuration

Figure 1-1 Typical RGS configuration on page 3 shows a typical RGS configuration, consisting of a

blade workstation and a thin client. The user’s applications run on the blade workstation while the user

interacts with these applications from the thin client.

Figure 1-1 Typical RGS configuration

The blade workstation desktop image is transmitted over the network to the thin client, which displays

the desktop image locally in a window. RGS is designed to provide fast capture, compression, and

transmission of the desktop image over standard TCP/IP networks. RGS also captures user keyboard

and mouse inputs from the thin client, and sends them to the blade workstation for processing by

Windows or Linux, and the applications running on the blade workstation.

RGS also supports remote USB, which enables a user to connect USB devices to the thin client, and

have the USB devices accessible by the blade workstation. In addition, HP RGS supports remote audio,

whereby audio output from the applications is transported over the network for playback on the thin

client.
