RingCube Technologies today announced vDesk version 1.1, a high-performance enterprise desktop virtualization solution that delivers anytime, anywhere access to a personalized desktop environment complete with applications, data and settings. vDesk version 1.1 delivers new MobileSync technology that enables users to work offline and synchronize their vDesk virtual workspaces between four flexible deployment options:
- PC – vDesk is stored and runs locally on the user’s PC
- Drive – vDesk is stored on portable drives such as USB, flash, and smartphones
- Network – vDesk is stored on a network file share and runs locally
- VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) – vDesk is stored in the data center and accessed remotely using VDI
vDesk MobileSync enables users to synchronize their vDesk Workspace between any of the four vDesk deployment options and work offline. While offline, users become truly mobile by being able to access their virtual workspace anytime, anywhere. For example, a user can access their vDesk through VDI while in the office and check out their vDesk workspace to a laptop or portable drive for a business trip or to work at home. Mobile professionals have the flexibility to work from an airplane, at home or in a hotel room.
When they come back to the office, they are prompted automatically to check in and synchronize their vDesk Workspace to the network. Once checked in, the user can access their vDesk workspace through VDI and have all the changes that were made offline reflected in their online vDesk workspace.
vDesk MobileSync enables rapid backup or “hot standby” for disaster recovery for users who have hardware failures or loose their laptop or portable drive. If a user’s laptop or portable drive is lost or fails, the user can check out their vDesk Workspace from the network to a new laptop or portable drive and be up and running in minutes with the latest applications, data and settings.
vDesk 1.1 is available immediately through RingCube. Pricing starts at $200 per user.
