RingCube Releases Virtual Desktop NAS Software Solution
Sep 01, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
RingCube Technologies, a provider of managed virtual workspace, announced the release of vDesk version 2.1, an enterprise desktop virtualization solution that aids in the creation, access and management of Windows desktops through Workspace Virtualization.
vDesk version 2.1 delivers networking technology that enables users to stream their desktop from any Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance or file server that supports the CIFS protocol from a virtual hard drive (VHD) container.
"Many Enterprises are simply priced out of desktop virtualization by the infrastructure requirements and related up front capital expenses especially from many VDI-based offerings," said Chris Wolf, senior analyst, Burton Group. "Virtual Desktop NAS solutions help customers simply drop in a single box that serves up virtual desktops, while providing centralized image management."
RingCube said that vDesk over the network (a.k.a. Virtual Desktop NAS) is one of the four vDesk deployment methods. This method enables organizations to store personalized virtual desktops on a network attached storage (NAS) appliance or file server. Users access their virtual desktop over the LAN using the on-demand vDesk client that is automatically downloaded via a web-based client portal. When the user runs their virtual desktop, the personalized vDesk workspace is streamed to the user's PC and executed locally, allowing data, applications, and settings to be stored centrally, the company noted in a release.
