VERDE with Storage Optimizer for IBM PureSystems is a highly-scalable, out-of-the-box virtual desktop solution that offers customers a persistent and personalized end-user desktop experience while controlling IT costs with centralized administration. VERDE scales horizontally in the data center like a web-server farm across distributed data centers or remote offices. It also provides fast end-user disaster recovery and simplified data center business continuity. And it is the first enterprise solution to have equal support for both Windows and Linux desktop environments.

  • COST - reduces historically large VDI storage costs by 80 to 90 percent with Storage Optimizer
  • COVERAGE – with patent pending cloud branch technology, remote users are treated as first class citizens
  • COMPLEXITY – provides ease of management with the addition of multi-tenancy capabilities

Ready for PureSystems offerings are all optimized for performance and virtualized for efficiency. They have a no compromise design with system level upgradeability. They are also designed for cloud with flexibility and simplicity. While the VERDE technology addresses the cost, complexity and coverage of the Linux and Windows virtualized end-user communities by managing them from the same infrastructure, IBM's Endpoint Manager with BigFix integration simplifies the management of a customer’s complete virtual and physical desktop environments. The two solutions together dramatically lower operating system, application and hardware management costs.
