HMDC is happy to announce that our NoMachine NX4 infrastructure has matured into a production-ready product. Administrators and support staff from the HMDC Operations team will begin migrating users individually from NX3 to a modern NX4 based desktop.
The Research Computing Environment (RCE), powered by NoMachine NX4, provides exciting new features:
- Share any locally or network connected printer device with your desktop. Printing from the RCE is now as simple as selecting Print from any RCE application.
- Need to demonstrate a task to a user? You can now share your desktop with other users.
- No need to install cumbersome client applications. You can access the RCE directly through your favorite web browser right now, or download the client.
Ready to move to NX4?
If you're a tech savvy user, consider migrating yourself to NX4. It's an easy process:
- Make sure you're not running any jobs on the cluster. Once you migrate to NX4, you can't move back to NX3.
- Uninstall OpenNX or NoMachine NX Client 3.5 from your Windows or OS X Desktop.
- Follow the easy to understand directions on the RCE NoMachine support webpage to install, configure, and use the latest RCE, powered by NoMachine NX4.
