RingCube Delivers Industry's First Virtual Desktop NAS Software Solution: Page 2 of 3

"The Virtual Desktop NAS offers the potential of a more cost-effective alternative to our current VDI deployment," said Ryan Borey, IT specialist, SouthCoast Bank.  "We can achieve the centralization and management we need while using the computing power of our existing PCs, eliminating the need to purchase new hardware both on the client and server side."

NAS Offerings Simplify Deployments and Save Cost on Desktop Virtualization

In June 2009, RingCube announced interoperability between vDesk and the desktop virtualization products of Sun Microsystems, Inc. Sun's leadership in both the virtualization and storage industries allows them to uniquely utilize the new vDesk 2.1 offering to help business customers simplify deployments and save cost on desktop virtualization. "Sun continues to deliver innovative and complete end- to-end desktop virtualization solutions through our open approach and broad ecosystem of technology partnerships," said Bob Gianni, Senior Director, Desktop Virtualization Group, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "The combination of Sun technologies with RingCube vDesk 2.1 helps our customers rapidly deploy desktop virtualization in their LAN environments and significantly reduces the cost of traditional desktop management."

In addition, RingCube has tested vDesk 2.1 to run on both Sun Open Storage and Sun Unified Storage Systems. "Virtual Desktop NAS is yet another example of the innovation RingCube is bringing to the desktop virtualization market," said Doug Dooley, vice president of marketing, RingCube. "Partners like SUN help extend the availability of vDesk to customers in ways that make sense for simple and cost-effective desktop virtualization deployments."
