Client Aggregation Overview Assume that you have four thin clients, each with 4 monitors. Using the Display Preferences dialog, the thin clients and their monitors are configured as shown—each thin client is configured with a 2x2 array of monitors. Client Aggregation allows you to arrange the four thin clients on a 4x4 grid. The following illustration shows one possible arrangement of the thin clients arranged in a rectangular array using the 4x4 grid.
Page 86: Configuring Client Aggregation
In this configuration, moving the mouse pointer off the right side of the thin client A monitors will cause it to appear on the upper 1/3 of the left side of the thin client D monitors. Similarly, moving the mouse pointer off the right side of the thin client B monitors will cause it to appear in the middle 1/3 of the left side of the thin client D monitors.
