Teradici, the creator of industry-leading PCoIP technology and Cloud Access Software, today announced that Cloud Access Software, its virtual desktop solution, is the first third-party solution of its kind to be available for integration with Microsoft Azure Stack.
Customers, system integrators, and independent software vendors can now
securely integrate Cloud Access Software into an Azure Stack Hub
solution with confidence, reducing complexity, deployment time, and
support costs.
"Part
of the appeal for customers choosing an Azure Stack solution is the
close integration and management it enables with Azure for deployment
flexibility in a hybrid cloud environment," said Ziad Lammam, vice
president of product management for Teradici. "We're pleased to be able
to extend that same level of simplicity to Cloud Access Software
customers, enabling them to deploy an Azure-based on-premises solution,
with the option of adding Azure cloud services, using the PCoIP
protocol."
Azure
Stack is an extension of Azure that provides the ability to
consistently build and run hybrid applications across cloud boundaries.
It includes a reference platform for hyper-converged infrastructure that
fully integrates with Azure and Microsoft services, providing a common
management framework and on-demand scalability for organizations with
varying capacity needs. Teradici Cloud Access Software provides secure,
high-performance virtual desktop access from Azure and Azure Stack HCI
or Azure Stack Hub using PCoIP technology, enabling a common
high-quality experience regardless of location or whether the user is
accessing their desktop from an on-premises data center or the cloud.
The integrated solution can provide IT teams with the ability to manage
and shift Windows and Linux workloads as required without impacting
productivity.
"Azure
Stack customers require high levels of security and performance for
their cloud solutions," said Talal Alqinawi, senior director, product
marketing for Microsoft Azure at Microsoft Corp. "The addition of
Teradici Cloud Access Software provides customers with another seamless
option for Azure Stack HCI, Azure Stack Hub or hybrid Azure deployments,
especially for customers working with demanding content under a wide
range of network conditions."
Organizations
using Azure Stack often do so because of its ability to provide the
benefits of the cloud within contexts that make full-time permanent
public cloud access challenging, such as remote locations with limited
connectivity. With Teradici Cloud Access Software on an Azure Stack HCI
or Azure Stack Hub solution, they can benefit from the security and
resource management advantages Azure offers in even challenging
environments without compromising the performance users need working
with demanding content.
