"We see virtualized desktop computing as an effective way for companies to realize the benefits of a server-based architecture and we are committed to expanding the market potential for server-based technology," commented Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT. "By combining Devon IT thin client terminals with VMware virtualized desktops on IBM servers, customers will have a powerful alternative to traditional costly desktop PCs." Desktops are the most underutilized and most difficult to manage IT asset in the enterprise. Today's business and technology climate has created a new set of desktop management problems such as ensuring data security and privacy within outsourcing and off shoring arrangements and with remote workers as well as ensuring desktop standardization, security and compliance. With VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure in place, anytime someone needs a new computer, it is easy and inexpensive to create a desktop with a thin client. The new user can use remote desktop protocol (RDP) to connect to a virtual XP machine. This bundled solution is available for under $1000 per desktop. "We're excited to partner with Devon IT to deliver a complete leading-edge virtualized desktop solution," said Bill Nemesi, Vice President, System x Sales, Mainline Information Systems, Inc. "Mainline has an unmatched reputation for delivering innovative solutions to our customers. Our relationship with Devon IT allows us to help our customers provide secure access to employees and vendors, in a cost-effective and easy-to-implement manner." Makoid concluded that, "Mainline is one of the only companies in the marketplace capable of effectively delivering this solution to customers. With their VMware, Citrix, IBM and Microsoft expertise, combined with the most cost-effective thin client terminal available, this solution becomes extremely compelling."
