Virtual Bridges team members were very excited today to announce a significant update to the company’s VERDE virtual desktop management solution which accelerates the provisioning of VDI infrastructures and delivers the highest quality LAN experience for both Windows and Linux virtual desktops, while also enabling them to be managed from the cloud.
This latest release places a strong emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction while showing off our technical leadership in the desktop virtualization market.
With VERDE’s new Active Cloud Branch capabilities, more processing power is pushed out to remote locations while management of the branch server remains in the data center. This gives administrators and managed service providers ongoing visibility into branch usage from a central location, while preserving the end user experience on the local network.
For example, a large government organization uses VERDE Active Cloud Branch to deploy and configure desktops in Hawaii according to local state security policies and administrative requirements, while managing them from a data center on the United States mainland. This approach ensures a consistent, high-quality LAN experience for the branch end user while maintaining security, isolation and business resiliency.
“Virtual Bridges technology addresses all of the key challenges we’ve faced with other desktop virtualization solutions while reducing overall costs and management complexity,” said Ed Anderson, Chief Strategy Officer, CompuCom. “With advanced support for cloud branches, VERDE provides our customers flexible, scalable and high-performing access to desktops, regardless of location.”
In addition to Active Cloud Branch, VERDE now includes bare-metal install and support for pooled users as follows:
- VERDE bare-metal install requires no pre-existing OS, allowing users to provision a Windows or Linux virtual desktop in under 30 minutes, including automated configuration of all internal storage applications and peripherals.
- VERDE support for pooled desktops extends the company’s leadership in use case coverage to scenarios such as shared desktops in hotel business centers, libraries, etc.
- VERDE support for CIFS storage and NFS v4 expand the variety of storage models, enabling customers to drive down storage costs.
VERDE’s broad feature set includes online, offline and branch VDI, Gold Master provisioning, Storage Optimizer, a Distributed Connection brokering architecture, flexibility to run both Windows and Linux desktops, branch-level VDI at LAN speeds, support for on-premises and hosted deployment, and desktop portability on a USB stick.
