Managing applications running on network nodes in large enterprise can be a major headache. Application errors and crashes, new updates and patches, unwanted applications being installed by users are just a few of the problems. With tarantella you might be able to take care of some of them. All your users would need is a Web browser on their systems or a client that comes with this software and they would be able to run all their applications through it. The software lets you allocate any application running on a Unix/Linux server to any user on your network.
Tarantella installs over any Unix, Linux or Solaris machine with a minimum requirement of 320 MB hard disk space, 256 MB RAM and 100 MHZ processing power for itself. Additionally, it requires about 1 MB RAM and about 5 MHz processing power for each user connected to the server. Plus, it needs a Web server that supports CGI. The software also supports the creation of a Server Array to provide a Power Cluster, which boosts the scalability of the product.
What it does
Tarantella is capable of providing any legacy applications running over Unix/Linux through the Web by using a WebServer on its backend. And any device having a browser can access these applications from anywhere through the Internet or intranet.

The software also comes with bundled native clients, which can be used instead of the Web browser. The CD we received had clients for Win 9x/2000/XP, Solaris Sparc, Linux and PocketPC. It can also run from a Citrix-based thin client, and you can get clients for Novell NetWare, Mac and SUN Linux from tarantella’s website (http://tarantella. com).
