UltraCanvas Server/Terminal represents the next evolution in cross-platform application deployment, combining the network transparency of X11 with the security, performance, and multimedia capabilities of modern computing. Built on the robust UltraCanvas Framework, this groundbreaking solution enables seamless remote GUI applications that feel completely native while maintaining enterprise-grade security.
While X11 pioneered network-transparent windowing in 1987, UltraCanvas Server/Terminal brings this concept into the modern era with:
Unlike traditional remote desktop solutions that transmit entire screen images, UltraCanvas Server/Terminal transmits intelligent GUI commands, resulting in:
Transform your powerful applications into web-accessible services:
// Deploy any UltraCanvas app as a web service
UltraCanvasWebServer server;
server.HostApplication(std::make_unique<MyCADApplication>());
server.StartSecureServer(8443);
Access remote applications with pixel-perfect fidelity:
Built-in support for enterprise networking protocols:
Deploy CAD applications, 3D modeling tools, and engineering software to teams worldwide:
Secure trading platforms and financial analysis tools:
Medical imaging, research tools, and patient management systems:
Interactive learning platforms and specialized educational software:
Convert existing UltraCanvas applications to network-enabled versions with minimal code changes:
// Existing local application
class MyApplication : public UltraCanvasApplication {
// Your existing code remains unchanged
};
// Network-enable with just a few lines
UltraCanvasWebServer server;
server.HostApplication(std::make_unique<MyApplication>());
server.EnableSecureAccess("myapp.company.com", 443);
server.Start();
