[July 16, 2008] RingCube and MXI Security partner to deliver a virtual desktop on the hardware-encrypted Stealth MXP Biometric USB Drive Tweet (Telecomworldwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RingCube Technologies, a provider of virtual workspaces, and MXI Security, a supplier of secure portable data systems, have teamed up to produce a secure portable workspace environment. The MXI Stealth MXP Biometric USB drive with RingCube's MojoPac Enterprise virtual desktop solution installed effectively allows users to carry their PC around with them on a small format external USB hard disk and plug it in to any PC, anywhere in the world and have instant access to their own desktop, applications and data. The Stealth drive is equipped with a biometric fingerprint reader which, when activated by an authorised user, grants immediate access to the virtualised workspace. Additional protection for the owner's data comes in the form of hardware-based AES encryption on the drive. Use of the system on non-managed machines leaves no footprint on those machines so security cannot be compromised. RingCube provide an Administrator Server allowing corporate IT departments to create, deploy and manage virtual workspaces for employees.
