Hummingbird Connectivity Secure Shell add-on
Fulfill Your Security Requirements
Exceed supports all the common security measures that you can find in the X Window
environment. Plus, through the integration with Connectivity Secure Shell — an add-on
security suite developed by Hummingbird, Exceed can connect to various hosts using the
latest and the most popular security protocols: Kerberos v5, Secure Shell and Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL). Regardless of what security policy your company has deployed, Exceed will be
able to integrate seamlessly into your secured network architecture.
Enterprise-wide Deployment Made Easy
Administrators can deploy Exceed to a large number of desktops with ease. Hummingbird
Exceed offers different installation and deployment methods that are suitable for various
scales of deployment. It is also compatible with the latest version of Microsoft Terminal Server
Edition and Citrix® MetaFrame® for Windows. The new Microsoft Management Console Snapin module makes post-deployment administration and management nightmares a thing
of the past.

Control and Reduce Your Total Cost of Ownership
Bring the Enterprise to Your Users
Legacy systems host more than 80% of corporate information.
Our daily life depends on successful transactions executed on
these systems. Providing access to this information has never
been as critical as today, since every organization is struggling
to maximize technological benefits while reducing costs.
HostExplorer and Hummingbird Deployment Wizard™ provide
you with an easy way of protecting your investment in legacy data
while letting you benefit from the latest in desktop and web-based
technologies. It enables organizations to lower their total cost of
ownership while deploying a state-of-the-art, web-based terminal
emulator. It allows organizations to provide their user with access
to legacy information without having to undertake costly and
painful installation on each desktop.
A powerful X server — Exceed, an extremely flexible text-based
terminal emulator — HostExplorer, a Windows Explorer based
FTP client — Hummingbird FTP™ and a comprehensive Windowsbased Internet Service server — Hummingbird InetD,™ are just
a few of the software integrated in the Exceed package. The wide
range of connectivity solutions provided by Exceed brings the
Enterprise legacy hosts to the fingertips of your users. Exceed
helps companies greatly reduce the number of software packages
required on each PC, thus cutting down the administrative and
management overhead. One-Stop-Shop is the unique value that
