QualiX Overview

This document describes how to download the QualiX installation files, perform the installation and configuration to provide a virtual appliance (VA). QualiX can run on a VA of type KVM or VMware, or on a Docker container. The QualiX VA allows you to integrate Remote Desktop capabilities directly into your browser.

As a CloudShell user, this enables you, directly from your browser, to remotely connect to and control machines that are present in a sandbox.

Among the advantages of working with QualiX are:

  • Makes working with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) a seamless, integrated experience without the need to use other tools to connect.
  • Enables you to use other remote connections, such as SSH and Telnet sessions, to connect to and control machines in a sandbox.
  • Provides native support for copy and paste operations as well as file transfer from and to the QualiX machine.
