Ulteo Virtual Desktop

Ulteo Delivers Open Source Virtual Desktop Solution

December 1, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Ulteo announced today that they were releasing the first installable version of their Open Virtual Desktop solution for enterprises. Delivering faster deployment times and ease of management for the IT department, this first release can be integrated easily into an existing professional Linux or Windows IT environment. The solution can be up and running in a few minutes, delivering rich desktop applications to corporate users.

Ulteo enters the corporate market as a pure Open Source player, and leverages the experience it acquired during the past two years with virtualization products & services that were previously offered on their own servers.

The Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop is a great solution for corporations who want to reduce the Total Costs of Ownership of the end user desktop, a cost that cripples IT budgets. Moreover, the Ulteo open source business model remove the typical upfront licence fee and replace it with a much more affordable subscription support plan instead.

Ulteo’s solution has been designed with a radical approach: in particular, no installation is needed on the Desktop client, and nothing has to be replaced or modified in the existing infrastructure.
Advanced features include a full administration console, desktop sharing, application server replication and many others. The product has already served more than 140,000 desktop sessions over the last few months.
We’ll have a closer look at the Ulteo platform soon!

Ulteo Releases Ulteo Virtual Desktop Beta, Wants To Get Linux Applications on Windows Desktops

May 20, 2008 by Kris Buytaert Leave a Comment

Ulteo has just announced the beta version of their “Ulteo Virtual Desktop”.

Ulteo

The Ulteo Virtual Desktop allows you to use a large variety of Linux applications on the Windows operating system, and all features that are already available with the Ulteo Application System.

Ulteo Virtual Desktop uses special technology built on the top of coLinux. It offers performance close to a native installation on the hardware because it doesn’t use traditional virtualization software.

Ulteo was founded by Gaël Duval, former creator of Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva Linux), the premier Linux distribution in France with a strong focus on desktop.
