Pivot3 Supports VMware’s Branch Office Desktop Solution

Pivot3 Inc. announced support for the VMware’s Branch Office Desktop validated solution architecture.

Pivot3, together with VMware, delivers a validated and optimized solution for organizations looking to cost-effectively and reliably support remote branch desktop deployments that are centrally configured and managed, yet have locally deployed performance. The solution is designed to support the branch office requirements for full (uncompressed) desktop deployments. VMware provides all of the centralized image management through Mirage and vCenter while Pivot3 provides the local branch appliance ‘View-in-a-box’ infrastructure.
 
The vSTAC VDI appliance is a purpose-built and tuned enterprise-ready VDI ‘building block’. It unifies storage and servers. Remote or branch office IT administrators familiar with standard servers and Ethernet are able to deploy vSTAC VDI appliances within minutes. The Branch Office Desktop validation by Pivot3 includes architecture support for the latest version of VMware View, the new vCOPS for View management console, and for enhanced endpoint security working with VMware vShield, and Mirage.
 
"The ability to centrally manage desktops, yet provide for local performance, is a huge breakthrough opportunity for any branch office operation," said Olivier Thierry, CMO at Pivot3. "Pivot3’s ability to support the latest VMware Mirage technology with our Pivot3 vSTAC VDI appliance delivers the best of both worlds to customers in need of a robust branch office VDI solution, namely centralized image management of simple-to-deploy localized appliances."
 
The vSTAC VDI solution for Branch Office Desktop is available.
