Virtuon has unveiled a virtual desktop service based on cloud computing and virtualisation technology. The service provides accessibility from any web browser and delivers full functionality of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The company said that the users of the Virtual Desktops can install any number of applications and configure desktop personal preferences.
In addition, users can access the desktop via Internet from any device such as an Apple iPad, thin client, or traditional desktop to find the applications and personal settings just as they left them previously.
Further, the new service also facilitates application developers to effortlessly extend their offerings to the cloud.
Forrest Blair, CEO of Virtuon, said: "Virtual Desktops are the next transition step to the flexibility, simplicity, and scale of cloud computing. This exciting innovation also brings significant benefits to Systems Administrators charged with managing desktops. Operating System upgrades are simplified, expenses are reduced, and reliability is enhanced.
"Previously, companies had to launch a Software-as-a-Service development project to get their product hosted in the public cloud. With Virtuon’s Virtual Desktop platform, all they need to do is install their application on Virtual Desktops and set up a subscription for their users."
