Provision Networks, a global provider of enterprise presentation and desktop virtualization solutions, has been recognized by Network World as one of the top 10 Virtualization Companies to Watch. Provision Networks was selected for the strength of its desktop management solution, the Virtual Access Suite.

Network World published its list of "Top 10 Virtualization Companies to Watch" (http://www.networkworld.com/supp/2007/ndc5/082007-virtualization-companies-to-watch.html) to showcase innovative technology companies whose products boost performance, make management easier or otherwise enhance the virtualization experience. Companies were selected based on the overall effectiveness of their solutions to address the unique enterprise challenges in the areas of desktop management, I/O processing bottlenecks, unwieldy file storage, virtual server management and disaster recovery.

"One of the reasons why we selected Provision Networks for our 2007 Virtualization Companies to Watch list is because users report that its Virtual Access Suite improves management and security while keeping costs in check," noted Beth Schultz, editor of Network World's New Data Center Series.

Provision Networks' Virtual Access Suite (VAS) consolidates virtual application delivery and desktop deployment from virtual infrastructures, blade PCs and Provision Networks-enabled terminal servers. The VAS hosted desktop and presentation virtualization infrastructure supports the leading virtual infrastructure software from Microsoft, SWsoft, Virtual Iron, VMware and XenSource.

"We are extremely honored to receive this special recognition by one of the most influential publications in the IT industry," said Paul Ghostine, co-Founder and CEO of Provision Networks. "By selecting Provision Networks, Network World is acknowledging the potential of our products and our company in the growing desktop virtualization space."
