Sentillion Offers Virtual Desktop Printing Solution

Sentillion vBusiness has announced a secure local printing driver solution as a free add-on module for its vThere desktop virtualization software. The technology allows a remote user to print securely from within a vThere virtual desktop image to any printer connected to the host, local or network.

The technology uses a secure communication channel between the image and the host, and there is no need to configure USB devices and print drivers within the image. vThere’s patent pending Print Driver software also provides “universal” support for all printers, without having to download or install any additional drivers.

“With vThere we have radically simplified the capability from both an IT and end-user perspective to securely print from within a virtual desktop,” said David Fusari, CTO, Sentillion vBusiness.

Sentillion enables organizations across all industries to address the challenges associated with remote access and remote employees. Their vThere solution provides home workers with the same computing experience and security as if they were physically in the enterprise, including secure access to the corporate network, the identical operating system, and applications. With vThere’s secure local printing capability, remote users are now able to print files from an image to their local printer.

Administrators are used to setting up local machines and print policies, and now they can use the vThere Print Driver software within an image to determine whether they are going to allow local printing capabilities to all, some, or none of their remote workforce.

The software is available for download now and is included as part of vThere’s standard pricing which is $125 per user.
