It enables IT professionals to easily organize, upgrade, control, and support thousands of Cisco VXC devices including Cisco VXC 6000 Series devices and Cisco VXC 2000 Series devices.


Note Cisco VXC 6215 clients run a Cisco-enhanced version of SUSE Linux firmware. Cisco VXC 2111/2211 PCoIP clients run PCoIP Zero Client firmware (also known as ThreadX firmware). Cisco VXC 2112/2212 ICA clients run WTOS firmware.

From one simple-to-use console, Cisco VXC Manager allows you to manage all of your network devices easily and quickly.
