On the side of every U-Haul truck or trailer, the motto 'Moving made easier' clearly states the benefits of using U-Haul products and services. The same could be said in the case of the move U-Haul made from NetManage and other terminal emulators to PASSPORT WEB TO HOST. U-Haul employed its 'can-do' spirit to replace the aging desktop terminal emulators with Zephyr's web to host terminal emulation, resulting in a considerable saving of resources.

U-Haul is the nation's leading do-ityourself-moving company with a network of more than 15,000 locations in all 50 United States and 10 Canadian provinces. The 60-year old industry giant has the largest rental fleet in the world, with more than 93,500 trucks and 85,000 trailers. U-Haul has also been a leader in the storage industry since 1974, with more than 340,000 rooms, more than 33 million square feet of storage space and more than 1,000 storage facilities throughout North America.

U-Haul chose PASSPORT WEB TO HOST over a number of other emulators because the software featured a simple server installation (easy installed on a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server running IIS). This meant they were able to get their end users up and running in seconds. U-Haul also found that PASSPORT contained all of the functionality they required, and was written in a straightforward way so that users can customize the emulator without any prior training. Because PASSPORT is designed specifically for IP communication, it allowed for more efficient use of the desktop's CPU, which could be free resources for other applications.
