Kidaro Unveils USB Desktop

NEW YORK -- Kidaro, provider of desktop virtualization solutions for the enterprise without

boundaries, has announced the availability of the Kidaro Corporate To-Go” for a USB flash drive. Using this new

offering, organizations can hand out a USB drive with a fully operable, encrypted corporate-managed desktop to any

user – work-at-home employees, road warriors, and subcontractors – instead of giving them a corporate laptop or

building a server infrastructure for remote desktops. End-users just plug the USB drive in to their workstation,regardless of hardware or setup, authenticate and gain immediate access to policy-based corporate applications and

resources, right from their Start menu or web browser, without any “virtual machine” training required.

Corporate “to-go” joins the Kidaro Managed Workspace family of client-hosted virtualization solutions. Kidaro provides

enterprise-grade provisioning, deployment, management and security on top of standard desktop virtualization

products, and is the only vendor that works with common virtualization platforms (VMware® or Microsoft®).

“Corporate ‘to-go’ extends our best-of-breed Kidaro Managed Workspace offering, providing ultimate end-userflexibility and mobility,” says Kidaro CEO Ran Kohavi. “It’s not just a mobile desktop: it’s a corporate-controlled

desktop solution that provides IT operations with full lifecycle control over their mobile workforce laptops and even

non-corporate remote desktops - from the creation of a virtual corporate desktop, to rapid, optimized deployment,

ongoing management, monitoring and policy enforcement.”

“Kidaro pushes the right buttons when it comes to desktop virtualization,” says Andi Mann, Senior Analyst at Enterprise

Management Associates (EMA), “Its innovative Managed Workspace provides a highly secure virtual desktop environment,but with an unobtrusive and seamless end-user experience, even for the most novice user. Kidaro rounds out its offering

with a centrally managed, policy-based control approach that manages corporate users wherever they are, while

securing corporate data.”
