Tarkan Maner Advisory Board Member, Workspot

Workspot, Inc., in cloud-based VDI services on Microsoft Azure, announced that Tarkan Maner, chairman and CEO at Nexenta Systems Inc., has joined its advisory board.

With his 20 years as a global executive operator, investor and IT adviser, including his tenure as CEO of Wyse Technology and current leadership at Nexenta, he brings to the advisory board an understanding of the end user computing and cloud challenges that Workspot addresses.

His expertise in security, software-defined infrastructure, mobility, virtualization and cloud computing will provide perspective as the company sharpens execution in a growth environment.

Amitabh Sinha, CEO and co-founder, Workspot, said: “We are excited to have Tarkan join the Workspot advisory board at a time when Workspot’s Desktop Cloud is growing globally. Increasingly, our customers are buying our Desktop Cloud solution as easily as they would buy a PC or a thin client. Tarkan’s experience at Nexenta, Wyse and Dell will prove to be invaluable to Workspot as we continue a high-growth trajectory.“

Maner said: “From the early days of enabling VDI for Wyse thin client customers to my current experience at Nexenta where our software-defined storage solutions are supporting and enabling cloud deployments, I have understood the cost and complexity of VDI. The strength of Workspot’s solution, combined with its simplicity, no-risk engagement model and free deployment services, positions Workspot for rapid growth.”
