<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Client<br />
There are two ways to distribute <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Client to the user base:<br />
> <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> 5 — A <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Whitepaper</strong><br />
1) distribute the wizard-driven, Windows-based installation program through the regular windows<br />
deployment tools, or<br />
2) distribute <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Client through web browsers with the help of <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong><br />
Deployment Wizard. Regardless of which deployment method is used, end users receive the same<br />
<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Client.<br />
For more information on deploying <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Client using <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Deployment<br />
Tools, please refer to Section 8: “Web Deployment.”<br />
Other Components<br />
<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> also comes with a collection of administrative and deployment tools that help<br />
administrators manage the product:<br />
> <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Deployment Wizard<br />
> <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server Manager<br />
> <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Print Utilities<br />
> <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Keyboard Editor<br />
Most of these tools are Windows-based applications (with the exception of <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Print<br />
Utilities which can also run on xNIX environments), and they are part of the <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server<br />
for Windows installation. Regardless of what platform <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server is currently running<br />
on, administrators would have to install <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server for Windows on a Windows<br />
platform should they wish to benefit from the additional tools. <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server component<br />
should be deselected during the installation. Thanks to Microsoft Windows Installer technology, it is<br />
a simple and straightforward task to customize the installation.<br />
Since <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server can run on most common xNIX platforms, it is an added benefit<br />
if the Server is installed on the same host where the X applications reside. By minimizing network<br />
traffic and latency, this configuration can potentially improve overall performance.<br />
In some other cases, administrators will favor the non-intrusive approach: <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server<br />
is installed on a separate machine, leaving the machines running the mission-critical applications<br />
untouched. In this case, the host does not have to split resources, such as CPU cycles, bus bandwidth<br />
and memory, between the mission-critical applications and <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Proxies. With more<br />
resources available to the X applications on one machine and <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Proxies on another,<br />
users may experience improvement in response time and performance.<br />
