AppSense, provider of user virtualization solutions for enterprises, has hired Dr Benny Tritsch as technology director in Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Tritsch will also be a contributor to the AppSense Office of the CTO, based in San Jose, and also educate the market on user virtualization the company says.
Tritsch will also continue his independent community work, running training sessions and speaking at regular industry events on desktop, application delivery and user virtualization technologies.
Dr Tritsch is based near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Technical University in Darmstadt, a MSc in Physics from the University in Freiburg after completing his thesis at the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN in Geneva, Switzerland and a BSc in Physics from the University in Freiburg.
Tritsch comments:
“Consumerisation of services and devices, componentized desktops, user driven service delivery models, including cloud and outsourcing, and massive desktop migration are driving the need for user virtualisation. The desktop of the future will look very different from today, comprising standardized components, user installed applications and user data, made available across all platforms, delivery mechanisms and devices.
That is the AppSense vision, and I’m genuinely excited about the company’s potential as they continue to drive this expanding user virtualization market.”
AppSense recently announced 1.5 million license sales for 2010, a 60 percent increase in revenues and 43 per cent increase in headcount. This expansion has also seen investment into new EMEA locations, with the opening of new offices in Paris and Oslo.
The company also developed existing and new partnerships with Citrix, McAfee, Microsoft and VMware, and worked with a number of system integrators such as Dell, HP, IBM and CSC.
