RingCube Technologies
®,
Inc., the leading provider of managed, virtual workspaces, today
announced that it has surpassed 100,000 registered users of its
award-winning MojoPac software platform. MojoPac is a virtualization
software platform that allows a user
’s desktop
environment to be decoupled from the operating system and encapsulated
into a secure container, including applications, data, settings and
system resources. This rapid adoption further demonstrates RingCube
’s
innovative leadership in the Desktop Virtualization product category to
enable users to gain greater mobility, productivity, and access to their
desktops, applications, and data.
“The market for portable virtual workspaces is
just beginning to develop and the response to MojoPac has been
overwhelming,” said Pete Foley, CEO of
RingCube Technologies. “To capture over
100,000 registered users in just over 1 year of the first available
download for registered users validates the significant value and
benefit customers have gained using MojoPac’s
revolutionary approach of virtualizing desktop environments and the
strength of our product offering.”
“The range of PC virtualization products
available in the market is increasing,”
according to Leslie Fiering, research vice president at Gartner, Inc. “A
new category of PC desktop virtualization is emerging that decouples
users from specific hardware systems to enable them to work seamlessly
across multiple PCs or notebooks or in multiple locations without
lugging heavy devices.”
When development of its first patent-pending Virtual Desktop offering
began in 2005, RingCube set a new direction on how to help customers
achieve the benefits of mobility, security, and ease-of-use in their
desktop environments without the tradeoffs of slower performance, PC
upgrades, and the massive storage requirements associated with legacy
implementations of desktop virtualization. For example, through the
deployment of MojoPac, Prometric, the leading global provider of testing
services and solutions, reduced the cost and complexity of provisioning
secure workstations with the required applications and data in their
distributed network.
“Deploying MojoPac brought us significant
savings in time, labor and travel costs,”
said Kim Langenbach, director of technology at Prometric. “RingCube’s
approach enabled us to deploy a secure, lock-down environment with
limited mode login while having the required applications, regional
settings and plug-ins on portable USB drives. Particularly attractive,
MojoPac leverages our existing windows PCs with no need for upgrades to
our PC hardware, storage or network infrastructure, and no additional
operating system licenses.”
Virtualization technologies in the world of networking, storage, and
servers have all provided abstraction layers between the device
platforms and the functions and services used in their deployments.
These abstraction layers allow customers to better design and deploy
complex systems with higher levels of flexibility, reliability,
efficiency, and performance. Like networking, storage, and server
virtualization, the next wave of virtualization technology has come to
desktop environments where customers require similar benefits. However,
legacy implementation of desktop virtualization have failed to met these
requirements without forcing customers to make significant and often
unforeseen investments in storage, network infrastructure, PC hardware,
and software as part of their deployment costs.
