RingCube Reaches 100,000 Virtualization Users
MojoPac's Rapid Adoption Revolutionizes Desktop Virtualization
Feb. 26, 2008 05:00 PM
RingCube Technologies announced that it has surpassed
100,000 registered users of its MojoPac software platform. MojoPac is a
virtualization software platform that allows a user’s desktop environment to be
decoupled from the operating system and encapsulated into a secure container,
including applications, data, settings and system resources. This rapid
adoption further demonstrates RingCube’s innovative leadership in the Desktop
Virtualization product category to enable users to gain greater mobility,
productivity, and access to their desktops, applications and data.
“The market for portable virtual workspaces is just
beginning to develop and the response to MojoPac has been overwhelming,” said
Pete Foley, CEO of RingCube Technologies. “To capture over 100,000 registered
users in just over 1 year of the first available download for registered users
validates the significant value and benefit customers have gained using MojoPac’s
revolutionary approach of virtualizing desktop environments and the strength of
our product offering.”
“The range of PC virtualization products available in the
market is increasing,” according to Leslie Fiering, research vice president at
Gartner, Inc. “A new category of PC desktop virtualization is emerging that
decouples users from specific hardware systems to enable them to work
seamlessly across multiple PCs or notebooks or in multiple locations without
lugging heavy devices.”
When development of its first patent-pending Virtual Desktop
offering began in 2005, RingCube set a new direction on how to help customers
achieve the benefits of mobility, security, and ease-of-use in their desktop
environments without the tradeoffs of slower performance, PC upgrades and the
massive storage requirements associated with legacy implementations of desktop
virtualization. For example, through the deployment of MojoPac, Prometric,
reduced the cost and complexity of provisioning secure workstations with the
required applications and data in their distributed network.
“Deploying MojoPac brought us significant savings in time,
labor and travel costs,” said Kim Langenbach, director of technology at
Prometric. “RingCube’s approach enabled us to deploy a secure, lock-down
environment with limited mode login while having the required applications,
regional settings and plug-ins on portable USB drives. Particularly attractive,
MojoPac leverages our existing windows PCs with no need for upgrades to our PC
hardware, storage or network infrastructure, and no additional operating system
licenses.”
Virtualization technologies in the world of networking,
storage, and servers have all provided abstraction layers between the device
platforms and the functions and services used in their deployments. These
abstraction layers allow customers to better design and deploy complex systems
with higher levels of flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and performance.
Like networking, storage, and server virtualization, the next wave of
virtualization technology has come to desktop environments where customers
require similar benefits. However, legacy implementation of desktop
virtualization have failed to met these requirements without forcing customers
to make significant and often unforeseen investments in storage, network
infrastructure, PC hardware, and software as part of their deployment costs.
