Gartner Names Sentillion as “Cool Vendor”

Sentillion, Inc. was recently named one of the “Cool Vendors” in the “Cool Vendors in PC Technologies” reported by Gartner. The five vendors listed in the report provide products that “enable PC users to perform their jobs with ease, flexibility and mobility.” And based on that, you can understand why Sentillion’s vThere product helped the vendor receive this recognition.

According to the March 2007 report:

“New innovations in virtualization will continue to advance capabilities to provide managed environments on ‘hostile’ PCs.” vThere is a packaged virtualized desktop solution that leverages virtualization technology to create a corporate managed secure end-point that runs on any contemporary Microsoft Windows-based workstation. End-points at remote locations, such as a virtual call center agent’s or teleworker’s home office, are secured and controlled by creating corporate virtual computers, which run on, but are isolated from, the underlying unmanaged PC. In contrast to server-based virtual desktop solutions, vThere does not require any additional servers because the virtualized desktop executes on the host PC.

vThere attempts to solve a growing problem in today’s IT world. As more and more workers become remote employees, IT will continue to struggle with serious technology and security challenges. Sentillion’s vThere solution seems to provide one type of answer to this problem. According to Paul Roscoe, president of Sentillion vBusiness, “vThere provides remote users with the same operating system, application access, user experience and security as if they were physically within the enterprise.”

And don’t forget, it was only less than a month ago that vThere was also awarded RSA Secured certification with RSA SecurID.
