HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM) Client

The Consolidated Client Infrastructure (CCI) solution from HP centralizes desktop computing and
storage resources into easily managed, highly secure data centers, while providing end users the
convenience and familiarity of a traditional desktop environment. Additionally, companies have long
used server-based computing (SBC) to create virtual instances of desktop applications on a server that
multiple remote users can access. HP CCI offers a new alternative for virtualizing the desktop.
Part of the CCI solution is the HP Session Allocation Manager (HP SAM) and is an extension the HP
SAM client. HP SAM client is included in the latest HP Thin Client WES and XPe image, and can be
accessed from Start > Programs.
HP SAM becomes the control point in managing a CCI deployment. Specifically, it manages the
assignment of Microsoft Remote Desktop connections from a user's access device (thin client) to
Remote Desktop sessions (blade PCs). Whether the session resides on a dedicated physical blade or
resides together with other sessions on a virtual hardware platform, the HP SAM system can make these
desktop sessions available to users as they are needed.
