When you share USB over Wi-Fi, FlexiHub automatically detects and displays it as available to network users. It also provides information on the device’s type, so users would know whether it is a USB dongle or hard drive, a phone or tablet, etc. This is really helpful if you have multiple devices and don’t know which one you need to connect to. Serial devices are marked in a special way so you won’t confuse them with devices that use USB ports to interact with the system.
FlexiHub’s own redirection server allows computers to exchange data without real IP address. This also means that you will not ‘see’ the computer whose devices you need to access, however this won’t stop you from connecting to USB over Wi-Fi bridge.
Virtual machines offer a lot of benefits, however, they have a drawback that might make some people think twice before running a guest OS – inability to connect to ports of the host OS and, hence, use devices inserted into them. FlexiHub solves this problem in virtual environment created with the help of VMware, Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Hyper-V, Virtual PC and other virtualization software.
FlexiHub allows you to reduce traffic consumed for transferring data – thanks to compressing data. You can specify the optimal compression ratio, if you have certain preferences. Compressing data also increases the speed of interacting with devices.
To share USB ports over Wi-Fi you do not need to install any USB drivers on any of the network computers, including your local machine.
Some of your devices are not meant for sharing – you can lock them from remote access. Your network computers won’t be able neither to see nor connect to them.
It was a full success and our Partner will get a license soon.
