New Offering Combines Virtual Bridges VERDE and iFollowOffice for
Secure, Scalable and Affordable Approach to Desktop Management
iFollowOffice and Virtual Bridges, Inc. today announced a
partnership bringing next generation hosted virtual desktop services to the UK.
With VERDE VDI Gen2,
iFollowOffice frees businesses from the confines of a workspace and local IT connections
and provides a flexible and scalable approach that meets the needs of
organizations of all sizes.
iFollowOffice's hosted virtual desktop service is quickly gaining momentum as
an easy to manage, secure, pay-as-you-go alternative to traditional desktop solutions.
Now with VERDE VDI Gen2, organizations can manage desktops centrally, reducing
the costs and challenges associated with provisioning, updating and securing PC
environments. Additionally, users can access both Windows and Linux desktops
from any location or device - including PCs, tablets, smartphones, laptops and
thin clients.
"The work styles of UK businesses are changing and VDI is providing
an efficient and effective way to meet their IT needs. The use of hosted
virtual desktop services is quickly impacting everything from workforce
mobility to user productivity and costs," said Simon Osman, CEO at
iFollowOffice. "Unlike other VDI vendors, Virtual Bridges understands the
challenges that hosted virtual desktop providers face and has created a
scalable solution that solves our needs. VDI Gen2 is making waves in the
industry and we're thrilled to provide it to our customers."
VERDE is designed for organizations that want to simplify desktop
management, improve security and increase business agility. Users benefit from
VERDE core capabilities including online, offline and branch VDI, a Gold Master
provisioning model, a Distributed Connection brokering architecture,
flexibility to run both Windows and Linux desktops, branch-level VDI at LAN
speeds, the ability to span both on-premises and hosted deployment modes and
desktop portability on a USB stick. Additionally, VERDE can scale from one to
hundreds of thousands of desktops to meet the needs of any organization.
"2012 will be a breakout year for hosted VDI solutions and iFollowOffice is
in a great position to take advantage of the anticipated demand," said Jim
Curtin, CEO of Virtual Bridges. "With VERDE at the core, iFollowOffice makes it
easy for any organization to enjoy all of the benefits of VDI without the
infrastructure costs, extending their work space and offering unlimited
connectivity to users. The result is reduced complexity, increased
productivity, reduced security concerns and ultimate peace of mind."
Ideal for service providers, Virtual Bridges VERDE was recently awarded the
MSPWorld Cup AwardTM for its efforts to advance the cause of MSPs across the
globe by providing cutting edge technologies and solutions. Virtual Bridges has
also received recognition in 2011 as a "Major Player" in desktop virtualization
by IDC, a "Cool Vendor" in Personal Computing by Gartner, an MIT Sloan CIO
Symposium Innovation Showcase finalist, and one of 15 desktop virtualization
vendors to watch in CRN's Virtualization 100.
