Abstract

Today more and more companies rely on thin client computer infrastructure to save costs and simplify the system and software administration process. However, in many cases being able to move the computational power to the server is not easy. Because users often need to use their mass storage devices, picture device, printers, scanners and other USB peripherals with the software running on the remote server. To be able to use user´s USB device on the server, it need a virtual USB driver to use USB device which attached on thin client. So we introduce a novel virtual USB driver aiming at improving network utilization and isolating session on Windows Remote Desktop Server.
