The served desktop client mode deployment option is the only one of its kind in the industry. It brings the benefits and
familiarity of a BlueZone desktop client with the convenience and advantages of a web-to-host client install. This is a great
option when you can't depend on the 100% availability of your web server.
The BlueZone emulator is initially deployed by the web server and installed on the user's machine. It is launched by the
user using a desktop shortcut, just like any standard desktop application. When used in conjunction with the BlueZone Session
Manager, BlueZone emulation client updates can also be delivered via the web server. Or, if you prefer, served desktop can
be configured so that updates are only downloaded when requested by the user. We call the served desktop client our "best
of both worlds" option.
When to Use the served desktop mode
Think of the served desktop mode as a way to use a web server to automatically deploy, install and maintain BlueZone as a
standard Windows desktop application on many user workstations without having to visit each of those workstations.
