IBM today announced Smart Business Desktop Cloud, a desktop virtualization service designed to provide end-user access to computing resources from any location, through a centrally managed cloud computing environment. IBM developed Smart Business Desktop Cloud with partners Citrix, Desktone, VMware and Wyse. According to IBM, Smart Business Desktop Cloud is the industry’s first public desktop cloud.
Smart Business Desktop Cloud provides a logical, rather than a physical, method of access to data, computing power, storage capacity and other resources. The service is designed to provide enhanced levels of security, resiliency, reliability, and quality for virtual desktops, while helping to streamline data backup and recovery, and reduce unauthorized access. The service also enables easy replacement of end-user PCs, because applications and data are accessed in a cloud rather than on individual PCs.
“Today more than ever, enterprises need an affordable, reliable and efficient way to deploy and manage desktop infrastructures,” said Jan Jackman, vice president, end user services, IBM Global Technology Services. “The public desktop cloud service is designed to help bring cost savings, flexibility, scalability and security to clients like never before.”
