Wipro has announced the launch of its IP-based offering from its Advanced Technologies practice VirtuaDesk.
Complete desktop virtualization solution VirtuaDesk has been developed to enable customers to easily secure and share applications as well as data, for a collaborative and mobile workforce. VirtuaDesk can also minimize the risk in desktop virtualization implementation.
This solution comes as a comprehensive packaged offering delivered as an integrated software-hardware platform. The features of this solution include an App Store, Catalog, and menu-driven administration to define authorization and access. Advanced back-end functionality includes in-memory caching capabilities that enable businesses to provide high-performing desktops and applications.
Shaji Farooq, Senior Vice-President, Advanced Technologies and Go-to-Market Transformation, Wipro, said, "We introduced the Advanced Technologies practice to position Wipro as the partner of choice for our customers focussed on leveraging social, mobility, analytics, cloud, sensor technologies and high performance computing. VirtuaDesk is a packaged offering that includes Wipro IP and best-in-class Wipro services, combined with industry-leading partner technologies. VirtuaDesk represents a flagship and differentiated offering from Wipro's cloud-based Workplace Transformation Suite that we intend to expand over time."
VirtuaDesk is available as an on-premise or off-site private cloud deployment. VirtuaDesk further leverages market-leading desktop virtualization technologies from Citrix, and Microsoft. VirtuaDesk uses HDX technology in Citrix XenDesktop that assures each user gets a rich, high definition experience over any network, on any device, including personal computers, thin clients, tablets and smartphones. The solution relies on Microsoft Hyper-V for running the Windows desktop in guest virtual machines, and incorporates Microsoft’s comprehensive infrastructure management software.
