Desktone uniquely enables desktops to be delivered as a cost-effective service, provided by service providers.
We help enterprises quickly realize the full potential and benefits associated with virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments – dramatically reduced desktop complexity; improved management, security and compliance; and end-user productivity – without having to build and deploy internally. And we enable service providers to benefit from optimizing use of their data center assets while offering a new, highly scalable, value-added service to customers.
Desktone enables service providers to deliver desktops as a service (DaaS) easily, and enterprises to roll-out and manage DaaS environments quickly with the Desktone Virtual-D Platform™.
The Virtual-D Platform simplifies large-scale virtual desktop provisioning and management, enables greater protection of corporate desktop assets, and delivers much more consistent and reliable desktop service levels – all while reducing desktop total cost of ownership by $300-$800/desktop/year. It is the only solution that integrates all desktop virtualization layers through a single, automated self – service platform, and enables desktops to be delivered as a subscription service.
The Virtual-D Platform divides virtual desktop infrastructure into two distinct tiers: enterprise and service provider. The platform seamlessly integrates all VDI functionality while maintaining reliable separation between these two tiers. The two tiers are tied together with Desktone's unique Access Fabric – a set of distributed services that provides the association between authorized users and their virtual desktops. This allows enterprises to manage a collection of virtual desktops that are supported by a very large set of physical resources which are owned and maintained by a third-party, and that reside either at the enterprise or at a service provider.
Enterprise Tier:
The Virtual-D Platform architecture enables enterprise IT staff to leverage the same desktop administration tasks they use in a physical desktop environment. Within this tier the system provides operational automation, virtual machine lifecycle management, desktop monitoring and reporting, and supports access to virtual desktops from thin, rich or repurposed clients.
Service Provider Tier:
The platform includes the software, tools and best practices needed for service providers to build and easily manage a virtual desktop grid for delivering DaaS, while integrating with their existing network and distribution infrastructures. Designed specifically to enable highly scalable, multi-tenant DaaS environments, this portion of the platform allows service providers to implement and manage the physical resources that power virtual desktops used by enterprise customers.
Desktone Access Fabric:
The Access Fabric links the two separate worlds of the enterprise and the service provider. It is a set of distributed services that provides the association between authorized users and their virtual desktop infrastructure. It's an intelligent, highly scalable system that automatically delivers best-fit desktops according to user entitlements, policies, access location and available resources.
