HiveIO Partners With Getech Education

HiveIO, Inc., a company that enables customers to deploy virtualisation without the need for specialists, announced a partnership with Getech Education.

The partnership focuses on advancing the education sector by delivering the latest in virtual desktop technology to higher education institutions, powered by Lenovo hardware solutions.

As one of the most experienced independent suppliers to the UK’s higher education sector, Getech Education understands the needs and requirements of these institutions to leverage the latest technology in order to create a higher-quality education experience for its students.

Through this partnership, Getech Education will offer HiveIO’s Hive Fabric intelligent virtualisation solution to higher education institutions. Hive Fabric is a virtualisation solution that can be installed and production-ready in 45 minutes, and then managed and operated by an IT generalist.

“This is an exciting partnership for both organisations,” said Darrell Felton, technical consultant, Getech. “HiveIO provides a true alternative to traditional VDI and is built for today’s education needs. Institutions can increase access to specialist teaching software and provide students with a new breed of high-powered virtual desktops securely, no matter their location.“

Dan Newton, CEO, HiveIO, said: “I was immediately impressed with the level of knowledge and understanding – that went far beyond just the technology – that Getech has in the education space. Their focus and commitment to continuously exceed expectations for institutions and their students mirrors our values and approach to partnering with customers.“
