Visit our ApplicationXtender page for updated information
We sell and maintain ApplicationXtender (AX) systems across the country. It's fair to say that we hear wish-list items each time we visit our clients. Some of the items will not ever come to fruition. For example, a Tom Cruise movie called Vanilla Sky showed off a magical floating user interface from the future. Well.... don't think that I will live to see that type of technology, but EMC has done a great job over the years injecting research and development dollars into their products. AX is no exception.
