Virtual Bridges and Neusoft Bring Virtual Desktop Management to Fast-Growing Chinese Market
VERDE Solution Will Help Enterprises Accelerate Virtualization and Meet China’s Green Computing Goals
AUSTIN, Texas (Oct. 5, 2010) – Virtual Bridges, Inc. and Neusoft Corporation (“Neusoft”), China’s largest IT solutions and services provider, have signed a premier distributor partnership to bring Virtual Bridges VERDE™ virtual desktop management and provisioning to Neusoft customers in China.
Across the world, hundreds of millions of professional desktops are set to refresh over the next 18-24 months. China is no exception. According to CCW Research’s 2010 China Enterprise Data Center Market Research Report, investment in enterprise data centers in China went up 17 percent in 2009 and will grow 24 percent in 2010. Cloud computing and virtualization are fueling this growth and are expected to be among the major enablers to advance China’s green computing initiatives.
As Neusoft continues its broad market expansion, the addition of VERDE provides its customers a comprehensive, end-to-end desktop management solution combining virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), off-line VDI and remote branch solutions. Key advantages include the industry’s first integrated and disconnected use solution, a single Gold Master provisioning model, Distributed Connection brokering architecture, flexibility to run Windows and Linux desktops, branch-level VDI at LAN speeds, and desktop portability on a USB stick.
“While there’s strong demand for virtual desktop initiatives, most management solutions are extremely complex, requiring costly infrastructure components that are traditionally difficult to deploy and manage,” said Dr. Zhang Xia, Senior Vice President, CTO & CKO at Neusoft. “VERDE virtual desktop management helps enterprises reduce desktop TCO while increasing organizational agility, productivity and responsiveness. We are excited to partner with Virtual Bridges to bring this value to our customers in the Chinese market.”
“Demand for VDI solutions is accelerating worldwide as organizations of all sizes embrace the benefits of virtualization to transform desktop management costs into new efficiencies,” said Jim Curtin, president and CEO at Virtual Bridges. “Working closely with a market leader like Neusoft, we will significantly expand our reach in a region with incredible growth potential.”
Under this agreement, Neusoft will resell the full VERDE suite to its customers and provide authorized post-sales support throughout the People’s Republic of China.
