Secure Remote Access for HPC Environments
Secure Remote HPC Computing Environments
What is ThinLinc?
ThinLinc is a remote desktop solution built specifically for Linux-based HPC and data-intensive environments. It enables scientists, engineers, and analysts to run heavy graphical workloads from any device with low latency and high security.
spinTwo is an official integration partner of Cendio and includes ThinLinc in many of our deployments (via spinUp and spinBuild), or as a standalone offering.
