CHAPTER 8
Snap-In Manager
This chapter explains how to remotely apply modular updates to
Neoware appliance software and appliance configurations.
What is a Snap-In?
All of Neoware’s thin client appliance operating systems utilize
real filesystems in Flash disk memory instead of monolithic Flash
images. They also use registry-based configuration mechanisms.
The combination of real filesystems and registry-based configura-
tion allows Neoware customers to add software, or to update soft-
ware modules and device configuration, without having to move an
entire Flash memory image into each appliance.
Modular software additions and updates can be only as big as they
have to be (and in some cases may be only a few kilobytes of infor-
mation), and registry changes are similarly small. This speeds the
update process, and helps alleviate bandwidth impact on busy net-
works and low-bandwidth connections.
ezSnap Technology
Neoware refers to this as our “ezSnap Technology.” Neoware
makes snap-ins available to add capabilities to thin client appli-
ances (such as adding Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in to NeoLinux
and Windows XPe thin client appliances). Neoware Tech Support
provides snap-ins to help diagnose customer problems. Customers
can develop and use their own snap-ins, since the technology is
based on industry-standard protocols.
