The company is the first to certify its PC blade solution for VMware VDI. The company announced its Sentral v.5.5 management software suite last month, and now it is official, the software will help an organization to more efficiently manage physical and virtual resources.“ClearCube’s leading PC blade solution for VMware VDI is a unique offering that provides reliable end-user computing power in VDI deployments,” said Bruce Cohen, president and CEO, ClearCube. “With VMware VDI and our Sentral v5.5 management software, ClearCube is bringing to market a true PC virtualization solution. The desktop virtualization solution enables organizations to make the most of their investment in virtualization by supplying reliable and cost-effective computing power to all employees.” ClearCube says that organizations that deploy its solutions can consolidate computing resources in their data center to improve security and ensure uptime. And when combined with the enterprise-class VMware virtualization platform, they can provide organizations with VDI solutions that ensure end-user computing power. With Sentral’s unique connection broker technology, organizations can automatically switch between virtualized and dedicated physical computing resources. ClearCube said that this flexibility helps guarantee end users always have the computing power required to effectively conduct their jobs. ClearCube’s technology deploys VDI licenses on a per-user basis, not a per-blade basis. They said doing so is more cost-efficient and allows customers to support the appropriate number of users on a blade and still deliver the required user experience. “As virtualization technology spreads across the enterprise, organizations need to manage both virtual and physical resources efficiently,” said Roger Kay, president, Endpoint Technologies Associates. “Joining the VMware Hardware Alliance Program allows ClearCube to deliver a complete virtual desktop solution based on PC blades.” Software Development
