The AO Global 250 was selected from hundreds of companies, nominated by a panel of industry experts in the online technology, media, entertainment, enterprise and greentech sectors from around the world.

Neocleus, launched in May 2008, develops endpoint virtualization solutions that lower total cost of operations and improve security for a diverse set of user scenarios created by an increasingly complex Windows based desktop and laptop computing environment. The company’s Desktop Virtualization Services are installed directly on top of the hardware of Window’s based laptops or desktop and enable multiple instances of isolated and separated Windows, or any other operating system, to run concurrently on a single device. The company’s first endpoint virtualization solution, Trusted Edge, enables IT to provide secure access to corporate resources from any endpoint regardless of its location or state of security.

“It’s an honor to be named among the prestigious organizations in the AlwaysOn Global 250, as this clearly validates our commitment to providing unique and industry-changing technology solutions and puts us in the esteemed company of true industry pioneers,” said Ariel Gorfung, CEO, Neocleus. “Since its inception in mid 2006, Neocleus has developed ground breaking endpoint virtualization technology and innovative solutions to deliver the next generation of endpoints. We look forward to continuing to execute against this vision through 2008 and beyond.”
