software website www.graphon.com graphon go global is remote access application publishing software that allows users to access and run windows linux and unix applications installed on a central server . go global displays the application s user interface on personal computers and other client devices running a variety of operating systems including unix linux mac os x windows windows mobile and pocket pc . go global can be used to web enable existing applications without the need to modify existing code . applications appear on the client device either in a web browser or within a loose window on the desktop . go global is a server based computing product that can among other things provide two tier client server applications with many of the benefits of a three tier architecture or cloud computing server based computing . with go global users can connect to applications remotely from offices homes from the road or anywhere internet or dial up connectivity is available . applications are installed on a central server but look and feel like the natively run locally installed application . local and remote users can log on to their company s server and have secure access to all the applications and data they use at work including email office productivity suites management applications and custom software . go global general diagram go global can run any application on a central computer and thereby allows desktop and productivity applications to be accessed on demand from any location in a software as a service deployment model . this is in contrast to appstreaming systems in which the applications while still stored on a central server are streamed to the client on demand and then executed on the client machine . go global remotes the user interface of existing applications without requiring any changes to the application s code . remoting can be done by either displaying application windows as if they were native applications or as pages inside a web browser as if applications were web 2.0 rich internet applications . go global delivers the application s user interface over the internet . it does not provide full control of a computer over the net as kvm software does . contents 1 overview 2 architecture 3 licensing 4 history 5 see also 6 external links overview edit this section is empty . you can help by adding to it . march 2013 architecture edit go global consists of two parts the go global server software and the go global client software . the go global server software runs on a central server along with the applications being published . each client device runs one of the go global client modules that are available as native thin clients or as web browser plug ins . the go global server software is available for microsoft windows and unix linux computers . a go global server can be configured as a physically solo server or as a member of a server cluster . due to its optimized implementation go global adds a minimum amount of overhead . go global client software is available for several operating systems including microsoft windows ce 16 bit 32 bit and 64 bit platforms mac os x linux and other unix like systems . go global supports four unix variants hp ux solaris and aix and linux red hat suse . go global also provides a web browser plug in client that displays application windows as web pages . to access an application by means of a web page a hyperlink is defined pointing to a page that checks if the go global client plug in is present in the browser . if not it is downloaded and the go global client is then invoked to open a connection with the server that hosts the application . the application then executes on the server and is displayed within the browser to access an application with a go global native thin client the client is run and a connection is made to the server containing the desired application . applications can also be published as icons on the user s desktop . clicking the icons makes the go global client run and invoke the host resident application . unlike other application publishing products go global does not use screen scraping technology where bitmaps or output displays are compressed and transmitted to the remote device . instead go global intercepts device driver interface ddi or x11 calls that are interpreted and rendered by the remote display device . this enhances client pixel redraws and greatly reduces network traffic . citation needed ideal for graphics intensive applications citation needed go global uses the graphic display code in a binary format . this enables go global to communicate to the host and client in a secure and optionally encrypted session . go global utilizes the proprietary rapid x protocol rxp that allows for fast performance even over low bandwidth connections such as dial up lines of high latency internet connections . this highly efficient proprietary protocol is a non published standard thus adding to its anonymity and security keeping in mind that security through obscurity is not really security . citation needed go global has the ability to automatically detect a user s connection speed and dynamically tune itself to achieve the best performance over a lan wan dial up or wireless connection . this provides the user with a seamless experience without the need to load software . citation needed go global server software listens for client connections on tcp port 491 by default . when a client connects to the host a new session is created by initiating and running the appropriate drivers subsystems and services according to the host operating system . the login process authenticates the user and connects to the requested application . key to this process is the creation of a virtual display device and driver that routes the drawing calls to the client compressing and encrypting them . likewise keyboard and mouse events are routed to the application from the client . go global also creates virtual channels which allow client printers and client drives to be presented to the host session thus allowing applications to access them . with go global applications can also be remoted via tunneling telnet http etc. established between clients and servers either with direct ip connectivity or without it thus allowing access to applications on communication channels that are set up on demand in accordance with customer security policies . licensing edit go global is licensed on a concurrent usage basis . it is not user or device based . go global does not require microsoft windows terminal server . history edit go global is a product of graphon corporation . graphon was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in santa cruz california usa . originally a graphics hardware manufacturer the company has grown and evolved its business over the years . in 1996 graphon entered the market for unix and linux server based computing software . in 2000 a major release was issued called bridges for unix . in 2002 the product was upgraded and renamed go global ux 2.0 . the company significantly expanded its business in 2000 by adding windows application publishing and web enabling software to its product line with bridges for windows . between 2003 and 2008 versions 2.1 through 3.2 for go global for windows and go global for unix products
