Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : INSGY) is now shipping NTrigue(TM), its new desktop-neutral Windows(R) application server software. NTrigue is a high-performance software solution that delivers Windows 95, Windows 3.x Windows 3.x can refer to either an individual or all of the following versions of Microsoft Windows:
Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). (R) workstations, Power Macintosh See Power Mac. (computer) Power Macintosh - Apple Computer's personal computer based on the PowerPC, introduced on 1994-03-14. Existing 680x0 code (both applications and device drivers) run on Power Macintosh systems without modification via a Motorola 68LC040 emulator. (R) and Macintosh(R) computers and PCs with X display software. NTrigue solves the growing market demand for running both new and old Windows applications from any enterprise desktop, and gives companies the unique opportunity to run both Windows NT and Windows 95 applications simultaneously. NTrigue will run on any Intel-based computer on the Windows NT Server Hardware Compatibility List HCL stands for hardware compatibility list. In today's world, there are vast amounts of computer hardware in circulation, and many operating systems too. A hardware compatibility list is a database of hardware models and its compatibility with a certain operating system. (HCL HCl hydrochloric acid. ). Because it is desktop-neutral, NTrigue works equally well on all desktop hardware, regardless of type or manufacturer. Performance NTrigue is scalable and optimized for networks. Through its use of the X Window System, NTrigue delivers virtually all the power of the application server to the users' desktops, and requires no special software on the desktop. NTrigue offloads graphics processing See graphics pipeline and DeBabelizer. from the Windows NT server and takes advantage of the high-level graphics operations in X Windows See X Window. , resulting in native graphics performance over the network. It is optimized specifically for networks to provide up to Pentium-class graphics performance for even the most demanding applications. Open Systems-Based Solution Unlike alternative Windows access products which are based solely on proprietary technology or are limited to older applications, NTrigue is the first completely open systems-based solution to support both 32-bit 16-bit Windows applications. This means that as soon as NTrigue is installed, all enterprise desktops can access Windows 95, Windows 3.x and Windows NT applications. In addition to supporting the open systems X protocol, NTrigue also supports the ICA Ica (ē`kä), city (1993 pop. 108,724), capital of Ica dept., SW Peru, on the Pan-American Highway. It is a commercial center for the cotton, wool, and wine produced in the region. There are several summer resorts nearby.

This means NTrigue can deliver Windows applications over dial-up, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. , WANs and the Internet. For example, specialized Windows terminals can be used for point-of-purchase; remote Windows computing can be done by satellite offices accessing a centralized server; and interactive Windows can run over the Internet. Reduces Ongoing Cost of Ownership NTrigue allows enterprises to save money by substantially reducing the ongoing cost of ownership of personal computing Refers to users working on their own computers rather than a terminal to a mainframe. Sometimes, the term refers to using computers at home for work and/or entertainment in contrast to business use only. See personal computer. . NTrigue includes the Microsoft-authorized multi-user Windows NT and allows multiple users to access a Windows NT server simultaneously without having to upgrade their desktops or purchase separate PCs. NTrigue even gives what some may consider "obsolete" equipment (such as older PCs) a new lease on life by allowing them to access high-performance applications that they could not otherwise run. "Most of the Windows 95 product reviews recommend at least an Intel 486-based PC for running Windows 95," said Robert P. Lee, Insignia Solutions' president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "With NTrigue, enterprises that have X terminals and 386-based PCs can now provide Windows 95 applications to these less powerful desktops as well. This reversal of obsolescence ob·so·les·cent adj. 1. Being in the process of passing out of use or usefulness; becoming obsolete. 2. Biology Gradually disappearing; imperfectly or only slightly developed. can lead to tens of thousands of dollars in savings for today's enterprises." Instead of duplicating applications, data and hardware on every desktop, NTrigue enables easily-managed servers to provide applications to lower-cost desktops. As the needs of the organization grow, only the servers need to be upgraded; and upgrading in one place benefits everyone simultaneously. In addition, NTrigue's distributed computing (1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem. See grid computing. (2) The use of multiple computers in an enterprise rather than one centralized system. model leverages the 3-tier client/server architecture prevalent in most enterprises. Windows NT Server Access for Every Desktop NTrigue is a client/server software package based on Windows NT. NTrigue displays the Windows NT program manager, including Windows 95, Windows 3.X and Windows NT applications, over the network to multiple enterprise desktops simultaneously. Using the industry-standard X Window System, it gives users Pentium-class graphics performance. NTrigue provides seamless integration between Windows and desktop environments, even allowing cut-and-paste between Windows applications and UNIX, Macintosh and PC applications. NTrigue offers a full spectrum of color support, ranging from monochrome to 16 million colors, to support any display. This means that even the most demanding applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, can be used across the enterprise. "Enterprise customers today are demanding a solution that provides access to, and easy migration between Windows 95, Windows 3.x and Windows NT applications," continued Dr. Lee. "NTrigue does this and more. This is great news for companies who have disparate desktops that need to share common applications. Furthermore, NTrigue offers companies who are evaluating both Windows NT and Windows 95 to do so simultaneously, making the decision process much easier." In addition, NTrigue does not require memory upgrades to the X terminal or workstation, and it minimizes extra memory requirements on the Windows NT Server for graphics. This allows even low-powered enterprise desktops to access Windows 95, Windows 3.x and Windows NT applications without other software or hardware upgrades. Solutions for Workgroups and Enterprises NTrigue is available in two versions. NTrigue Workgroup is a cost-effective solution for workgroups, ideal for smaller enterprise settings. NTrigue Global is designed for larger enterprises that want to enable a wider range of people to access the Windows NT server and applications, and it provides more comprehensive server capabilities.
