With Kidaro, organizations can now hand out corporate-controlled, encrypted virtual machines on USB drives, delivering enterprise desktop applications and resources to employees and remote users, on any workstation, anywhere
NEW YORK, March 28, 2007 -- 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 is agnostic to virtualization platforms running beneath (e.g., VMware® or Microsoft®).
"Corporate 'to-go' extends our best-of-breed Kidaro Managed Workspace offering, providing ultimate end-user flexibility 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."
Kidaro will be exhibiting at Network World -- IT Roadmap, April 4, Chicago, and will be presenting the corporate "to-go" concept at Wall Street Technology Association "Mobility in the Untethered Enterprise" seminar, May 8, New York.
