Redirection of USB devices in multi-user environment on large Terminal Server systems

Terminal Servers with large number of users working via Remote Desktop are very often used in corporate environments. Sometimes users need to use their individual USB devices inside their RDP session. Our product USB Redirector TS Edition helps to redirect the devices into the remote session!

Why USB isolation is important?

USB devices in Windows are treated as system-wide resource, meaning they are accessible to all users. Such approach works fine for local USB devices, but causes all kinds of issues in multi-user environment of Terminal Server: devices don't work as expected, users are getting confused, they can not distinguish which device belong to which user, they access each-others USB devices.

Even though Windows provides means to control access to the system objects, including devices, this is generally not enough to assign a particular device to a particular user. With the help of our unique per-session device isolation feature, it is possible to solve the problem. USB Redirector TS Edition can isolate users' USB devices in their RDP session, so that they are not accessible or visible by other users.
