Amax VDI Solution Integrated With VMware

AMAX Information Technologies, Inc. announced its VDI solution
integrated with VMware architecture.

Tailored for SMBs, the solution incorporates AMAX Virtual Desktop Series
servers and Nexenta Systems, Inc.‘s NexentaVSA for VMware View to accelerate VDI deployments based on
VMware View with good cost and performance per virtual seat, and has now
been certified by VMware for VDI and is
accessible through the VMware View Rapid Desktop Program.

It enables customers to deploy VDI
systems, building on reference architectures that map
to requirements for VDI deployments through
VMware View. The AMAX Reference Architecture outlines the integration of system
components and software and enables customers to adopt and deploy pre-tested
systems that meet their needs, with scaling options for future expansion.

"With the addition of the
AMAX VD-22000n Series VDI solutions to the VMware Rapid Desktop Program, AMAX
is simplifying the VDI deployment process," remarks
Mason Uyeda, director, end-user computing technical marketing, VMware. "We’re pleased to add AMAX as a premier
partner to the VMware Rapid Desktop Program."

AMAX’s reference architecture was designed to meet rapid deployment,
capacity, performance, scalability and cost objectives of organizations around
the world. It is based on VMware View and incorporates AMAX VD-22000n Series
servers and NexentaVSA for VMware View to simplify the setup process.

The complete solution targets SMBs wanting to consolidate their IT
costs and manage multiple user desktops and application
deployment, offering a capacity of up to 100 virtual seats with upgrade options
for larger deployments. Integration with AMAX’s VD-22000n servers, NexentaVSA
for VMware View and VMware infrastructure gives customers the ability to
provision new virtualization regimens and provide performance and scalability
metrics for specific architectures.

The VD-22000n
Series addresses the challenges of VDI deployment through a single
dashboard with real-time analytics and offers deployment of NexentaStor running
as a virtual storage appliance (VSA) on VMware vSphere. The solution expedites
the process of storage and desktop deployment for VDI into one console.

"We are excited to work with
AMAX who are committed to our vision of enterprise class storage for everyone,"
said Evan Powell, CEO of Nexenta Systems. "By integrating a solution that includes hardware, VMware View VDI
software and NexentaVSA for VMware View storage software, customers of all
sizes can now deploy a VDI solution that is very simple to deploy, manage and
configure at the best price to performance ratio."
