How does it work?

SoftXpand expands the abilities of the source operating system (Windows XP) by creating multiple Windows XP look-and-feel desktop environments and allocating the installed input/output hardware devices to each such desktop, so as to allow up to eight different users to log on to independent virtual Workstation using their regular Windows/Domain user names and passwords and work simultaneously.

Each such Workstation requires installation of dedicated input/output devices such as additional video card(s), keyboards, mice and optionally USB hubs, sound and other devices. You can also use DisplayLink USB devices instead of standard video cards and get an extra workstation within a few seconds! Learn more about our Plug and Play Desktop Virtualization Solution here.

To enable this, SoftXpand allocates the PC's and video cards resources in order to create multiple Workstations.
SoftXpand uses each device in its native mode, enabling the Workstation to support all the device's features, e.g. – A supported video card installed on a SoftXpand Host PC will enable the virtual Workstation to utilize all supported features of that card (DirectX, open GL).
