One company, IceWEB (News - Alert), Inc., understands the frustrations of businesses out there who want a streamlined and cost effective way to manage their infrastructures. IceWEB, a unified data storage appliance provider for cloud and virtual environments that features a secure, scalable IceBOX Private Digital Cloud solution, has recently gained a key banking customer – a large mortgage service unit that chose IceWEB ERX Solid State storage to power a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) project used in 12 offices throughout the United States.
"Our banking customer will power its VDI infrastructure with IceWEB's silicon storage technology. Virtual Desktop environments demand more performance from a storage platform that any other application in an enterprise computing environment,” said Ron Robinson, President of IT Data Storage, an IceWEB reseller, in a statement.

It’s important to us to provide environmentally sensitive products as well. Conserving heat and power saves money, and helps companies reduce their carbon footprint,” explained IceWEB CEO Rob Howe.
