Components

A typical HyLabs deployment involves multiple Accops modules deployed on different servers as virtual machines or on hardware.

  • Accops HyWorks Controller

  • Accops HyWorks Management Console

  • Accops HyWorks RMS Service

  • Accops HyLabs Portal

  • Accops HyWorks DVM Tools

  • Accops HyWorks Endpoints

  • Accops HySecure Server

  • Accops HyLabs (RMS) Service

Accops HyWorks Controller

HyWorks Controller is the core of the HyWorks offering centralized management of the virtual desktop infrastructure. Accops HyWorks Controller runs as a windows service and can be installed on Windows Servers 2008R2-SP1, Windows 2012R2 and Windows 2016.

The following components are installed with HyWorks Controller:

  1. Accops HyWorks License Service

  2. Accops HyWorks Upgrade Service

  3. Accops HyWorks Monitoring Service

The web interface used for managing Accops HyWorks Controller Management Console.

Accops HyWorks License Service

Accops HyWorks License Server runs as a Windows service on supported Windows server platforms and is the primary controller layer for managing the licensing.

Accops HyWorks Upgrade Service

Accops HyWorks Upgrade Sever is required for upgrading the HyWorks Tools on configured Desktops and runs as a Windows service on supported Windows platforms.

Accops HyWorks Monitoring Service

Monitoring service collects system performance data from HyWorks Controller server and reports to HyWorks Controller service.

The monitoring service information is used for presenting HyWorks Controller status on dashboard.

Accops HyWorks Management Console

HyWorks Management Console is web application deployed using IIS (Internet Information Services) on supported Windows servers.

With HyLabs integration Accops HyWorks Management Console can be accessed in multiple modes by different types of users:

Accops HyWorks Management Console (Admin)

  1. Web interface for configuration and management of application or desktop deliveries in enterprises

  2. Default super-administrators (Configured during installation) will have access to HyWorks Controller Management Console

  3. Super-administrator can later designate users as HyLabs Admins to manage HyLabs systems

HyWorks HyLabs console or Accops HyLabs Portal

HyWorks Management Console being accessed by HyLabs users and interface is dynamically updated as per role and privileges of user e.g., reservation administrators, Incharges, Assistants and participants.

HyWorks User workspace portal

Web interface for non-HyLabs end-users for accessing assigned applications, dedicated, or shared hosted desktops.

HyWorks HyLabs Client Console

Web access portal for participants (HyLabs End-users) – in HyWorks v3.2 HyLabs client console will be delivered with HyLite (Browser based client less access mechanism for desktops and applications).

Accops HyWorks Reservation Management Service

Also referred as RMS service. The core function of the RMS service is to serve HyLabs users for any reservation create, update, or delete actions, user activities. The RMS service can be installed on the same Windows server as HyWorks controller, but can be installed with HyWorks management console only.

Accops HyWorks DVM Tools

Accops HyWorks Tools is an integrated software package, which gets installed on target desktops (Desktop Virtual Machines: Hosted on Virtualization platforms like VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V servers and accessed by users from registered endpoints).

Accops HyWorks Tools is comprising of following components:

  1. Accops HyWorks Desktop Agent

  2. HyWorks USB Disconnection Utility

  3. Built-In USB Redirection Driver Server-side Component

  4. Accops Session Server Extensions

Accops HyWorks Desktop Agent

Accops HyWorks Desktop Agent gets installed with HyWorks Tools and communicates with HyWorks Controller to achieve following purposes:

  • Enabling Remote Desktop services for intended user

  • Making the user member of local administrators’ group

  • Customizing Desktops being provisioned using HyWorks Controller

USB Disconnection Utility

The utility ensures that all redirected USB devices gets disconnected appropriately if user session is disconnected abruptly to avoid possible issues with USB redirection.

Built-in USB Redirection Server module

HyWorks Tools setup consists of server module of Built-in USB Redirection Driver (to be installed on Desktops) for enabling USB devices redirection plugged on HyWorks Devices. The client-side component is available with HyWorks Clients.

HyWorks also supports ‘Enhanced’ type of USB Redirection Driver also, but the server-side component of Enhanced USB Redirection driver must be installed independently.

Important

  • Built-In USB redirection is free and best suited for dedicated Desktop environment.
  • Enhanced USB redirection requires additional licensing cost and recommended for session hosted desktops (TSE or Microsoft RDS)

Accops HySecure Server

Accops HySecure is an application access gateway that enables enterprise mobility and secure access to corporate applications, desktops, and network services from any device working from any network.

HySecure enables users working from any network be it trusted LAN or untrusted WAN or internet or mobile network to securely access corporate resources.
