Virtual Computer Inc., the company redefining PC lifecycle management through virtualization, today announced its global value added reseller (VAR) program. The groundbreaking and mutually beneficial program delivers live customers, not just leads to its partners. NxTop is the first and much anticipated PC lifecycle management solution based on a bare-metal client hypervisor and is an ideal solution for VARs to add to their product portfolio. NxTop will be available through authorized VARs and channel partners this month. For more information about joining Virtual Computer’s partner program visit http://www.virtualcomputer.com/partners.

“A major pain point for organizations is managing the growing number of mobile workers and laptop users. VARs must have a PC management solution available that addresses these modern challenges,” said John Lenon, sales director, Novosco Limited. “NxTop addresses PC management through virtualization and tackles provisioning, publishing and patching, among additional benefits. The Novosco Limited team is excited to be one of the first VARs in this unique program that supports a mutually beneficial sales process.”

NxTop’s features include:

• One-to-many provisioning, publishing and patching of the base operating system including the ability to roll patches forward or backward in the event of a failure at the end-point.
• User data and profile backup and recovery including the ability to move a user from one computing device to another in a matter of minutes, without any loss of data or productivity.
• Security including trusted boot and cryptographic disk, with an enterprise key management system ensuring that computing environments cannot be tampered with and eliminating the concern of data leakage in the event a PC is lost or stolen.
• Full policy-driven control of end-point computing devices including the ability to filter on particular types of USB devices, device expiration and remote disable of computers.

“VARs are a key component to our sales strategy and we look forward to growing relationships with partners that embrace virtualization as the solution to growing PC management problems,” said Sandrijn Stead, vice president of sales, Virtual Computer. “Our one of a kind program goes beyond traditional channel incentives, and with thousands of organizations thinking about how to use NxTop to lower their PC management costs, we see a rewarding future for partners that jump on board with us now.”
