Lucky 7's: PROXY Pro 7 Remote Desktop Software Supports Windows 7

Proxy Networks Software Also Supports Mac, Linux and Introduces More Energy-Saving Power Management Tools


Boston, Massachusetts, October 29, 2009 - Proxy Networks, Inc., a leading provider of remote desktop software for Windows since Windows 3.11, announced today the general availability of PROXY Pro 7.0, the newest version of its flagship product featuring remote PC access for 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7, as well as 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2.

"Our customers and partners around the world told us they were excited about Windows 7. We worked hard to deliver PROXY Pro 7 so that they would have a reliable remote desktop solution, with full remote control and remote management capabilities, when Windows 7 was released," said Andy Kim, CEO of Proxy Networks, Inc.

Mac & Linux, Too

For the first time, PROXY Pro 7.0 introduces peer-to-peer remote access and remote control of Macintosh and Linux computers. The target machines must be configured to run a standard VNC server (built into Macintosh operating systems) but will not need any additional software to support remote access from PROXY Pro 7.0.

"PROXY Pro is the preferred choice of hundreds of schools, colleges and other educational organizations. Now, with Macintosh and Linux support, we can help them broaden their coverage to the rest of their communities, both on campus and increasingly, at home," said Nicole Omsted, Senior Sales Manager for Proxy Networks.

More Power Management Tools

Building on the secure Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)-based remote management software tools introduced in the previous release, PROXY Pro 7.0 provides additional tools to manage power consumption by remote computers, including ability to shutdown and wakeup remote computers, and to view and edit power schemes.

Simplified Deployment with Active Directory to Unattended Machines

Easy-to-use remote deployment tools in PROXY Pro 7.0 can now utilize Active Directory to discover remote computers, and automatically install PROXY Pro software on them. The remote deployment tools can also be used to upgrade existing software or to push configuration changes to both attended and unattended machines.

From Our Customers

"Proxy allows me to connect with my users and solve their problems immediately, instead of travelling to their location which eats up valuable time. It also lets me provide training remotely for new and existing customers. I am able to perform maintenance afterhours without user interaction at all our remote locations. I am satisfied enough so that I have recommended the product to several other companies which are now Proxy users."

"Watson Realty Corp has offices located throughout North and Central Florida and South Georgia with over 1100 workstations and 1600 agents. With Proxy Pro, we can give immediate software and hardware support. Proxy Pro has proven to be a essential tool and our investment has been returned several times over by reducing the amount of time that I have to send technicians onsite."

"The new remote management software tools in PROXY Pro are very convenient to use. It is very useful to be able to make repairs on-the-spot, without having to make any security exceptions or asking the user to log-off."

"PROXY Pro has a small footprint, doesn't conflict with any other software we use, works over a wide variety of bandwidths and is incredibly simple to use. It's everything an IT professional wants in a software program."

"We switched from PCAnywhere to PROXY Pro Gateway because it's a better tool for remote control. It functions more efficiently and allows us to easily maintain centralized management of our firm's remote control - I highly recommend it!"

"With PROXY Pro Gateway, I have absolute control over security and access policies - the product is so easy to implement and provides excellent value."

"PROXY Pro Gateway is an excellent product for remote access and control - it's been a great tool to have for our department."

"Gateway edition is completely reliable. It's very fast, even on limited bandwidth networks - and it's a breeze to find users with the centralized administration provided by the Gateway component."

"We absolutely love PROXY Pro. It's dependable, does what it's supposed to do, and its professional capabilities make it far more useful than Windows RDP."
