Cloud Computing on Ulitzer

In a move that will reduce the cost and time companies spend on IT, Viewfinity (www.viewfinity.com) on Tuesday announced the release of version 2.5 of its cloud computing systems and privilege management solution for laptops, desktops and servers.

Viewfinity’s cloud computing model offers companies a cost-effective approach to systems and privilege management. Based on its foundation in application encapsulation, the Viewfinity solution is purposely architected to provide capabilities that focus on reducing the cost and time related to IT operations and support by providing the most flexible, secure and manageable environment for in-house and mobile workforces.

“Our cloud computing software delivery model and extended privilege management features allow us to supplement or replace traditional systems management with no specialized IT experience required and no need to purchase and install a management platform and server,” said Gil Rapaport, President of Viewfinity, “Our approach lets IT administrators focus immediately on delivering services end users need to be productive, rather than the typical six-month setup and subsequent ongoing administering of legacy on-premise management systems.”
