RingCube Introduces vDesk VDI Edition to Advance Enterprise VDI Rollouts and Maximize Desktop Virtualization Benefits
vDesk VDI Edition Delivers on Desktop Virtualization Promise of Increased Productivity, Lower Costs and Reduced Complexity for Enterprise VDI Deployments
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - RingCube Technologies, the leading provider of managed virtual workspaces, today introduced vDesk VDI Edition - a new enterprise desktop virtualization solution that expands an organization's VDI user base, enables faster and more efficient VDI rollouts, reduces VDI infrastructure costs, and lowers a VDI project's cost per user while increasing its return on investment (ROI). With vDesk VDI Edition, organizations can now realize the promised productivity and cost-saving benefits from their VMWare View and Citrix XenDesktop investments.
One of VDI's most persistent challenges is the inability to scale across an organization to its various types of employees. Most organizations choose to implement pooled VDI deployments in order to keep storage and infrastructure costs low, thereby forgoing the ability to personalize users' desktops.
vDesk VDI Edition solves this challenge by expanding the rollout of VDI desktops across an organization, which decreases the cost per user and increases economies of scale. No longer is VDI restricted only to structured task workers; employees who require highly personalized desktops can now be included in VDI implementations. By broadening the VDI rollout to a larger percentage of employees, organizations lower the overall cost of their VDI projects which results in a higher return on investment.
"Inability to personalize desktop images is holding back the implementation of hosted virtual desktops (HVDs) for many organizations today," said Brian Gammage, Vice President and Gartner Fellow. "Unless these images can support the local peripheral and application requirements of individual users, organizations cannot extend their deployments beyond a task-worker core and will fail to achieve the scale-economies that HVDs promise."
"RingCube continues to innovate to meet the changing needs of its customers and the industry, as proven by vDesk VDI Edition," said Kiran Kamity, RingCube Vice President of Product Management. "Until today, the inability to roll out personalized virtual desktops while controlling costs and management complexities has inhibited enterprises from realizing benefits from their VDI investments. Now, vDesk VDI Edition helps enterprises capture productivity and IT cost-savings by expanding organizations' VDI rollouts to knowledge workers."
