AxRM V3
Last Update: 01/07/2010
A new release of Axel Remote Management is now available.

AxRM V3 Benefit

The main benefit relates to the handling of the terminal database. AxRM V3 offers two methods:
   - By a text file,
   - By MS-SQL.

With AxRM V2, only the "text file" method is available. This method is very simple and efficient, but concurrent access is limited (the first user’s permissions are read/write but all other users are read only). Using MS-SQL allows concurrent access.

Other benefits:
   - The maximum number of terminals is now 20000.
   - For the 'terminal discovering' function, the text file containing IP addresses to scan can also contain IP addresses ranges.
   - If terminals with DNS names are discovered , AxRM checks these names can be actually resolved before adding them to the database.

AxRM V3 Compatibility

Both versions can be run on same host (AxRM V3 does not overwrite AxRM V2). They share the same registry database but installing AxRM V3 doesn't change the use of AxRMV2.

When stored as a text file, the terminal database format is the same with AXRM V2 and AxRM V3.  In addition, AxRMV3 offers an easy way to migrate an existing text file database to MS-SQL.

Evolutions

AxRM V2 will continue to be maintained and supported.

But major improvements will be available only with AxRM V3. For example, we are soon to release an embedded VNC server (for remote shadowing) will be available. Only AxRMV3 will offer a VNC client.
