| Google Chromebook | Inuvika Enterprise Mobile Client (EMC) is available for devices running Chrome OS v61 or later *. | |
User Experience |
App mode | Applications are seamlessly integrated into the user's own local desktop and launch menu, and behave as though they were installed locally. Available on Windows, macOS or Linux devices running the Inuvika EDC. |
| Desktop mode | Applications are delivered to users within a Windows or Linux shared or dedicated desktop. | |
| Web portal mode | Apps are delivered through an intuitive Web portal that includes a file manager and an icon-based interface for launching applications within Web browser windows. | |

| "Follow Me" session roaming | Users can transfer a session from one device to another. Logging into an active session from a different device will transfer the session to their new device with dynamic screen resizing. | |
| Dynamic delivery fallback | If a local application is not installed on a client, OVD automatically falls back to server hosted application delivery without any user interaction. | |
| Session recovery | Disconnected sessions maintain their state. Users can reconnect and continue where they left off. | |
| In-Session Screen Resizing | OVD adjusts the active session desktop to match the user's client or browser window setting. | |
| Full Screen Mode | Launch the Inuvika client or Web browser into full screen mode and experience the feeling of using a local Windows or Linux desktop. | |
| Multi-Monitor Support | Leverage multiple screens when access applications in App or Desktop Mode. Currently not available for Linux Application Servers. | |
| RAM & CPU Management | Resource Container limits RAM and CPU usage by user or group, ensuring a consistent Quality of Service experience for all users. | |
Management |
