LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- VMworld 2006 booth 612 -- Provision Networks, a global provider of application delivery and dynamic desktop deployment solutions for the VMware Virtual Infrastructure and Microsoft Windows Terminal Server platform, today at VMworld 2006, launched the Dynamic Desktop Deployment Alliance Program, a powerful and comprehensive ecosystem of industry-leading partners collaborating to deliver the first-ever true end-to-end enterprise VMware virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) powered by the Provision Networks Virtual Access Suite.

With VMware's VDI at the core, the D3 Alliance led by Provision Networks will deliver improved manageability, flexibility, resiliency, security, transparency, agility and portability, transforming the desktop computer and its applications into on-demand virtual services, personalized and optimized for the individual or task performed.

Dynamic Desktops are Deployed, not simply delivered, thus lowering the overall total cost of ownership, improving security and productivity. Deployment of dynamic desktops, a fully automated task within the Virtual Access Suite, encompasses configuration, management, personalization, optimization, provisioning, and delivery from a central data center, to be accessed securely from any device.

"VMware led the way with its vision for the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. We are leveraging that solid foundation with the Virtual Access Suite to deliver a solution transforming the hosted desktop into enterprise reality," said Paul Ghostine, Co-Founder and CEO of Provision Networks. "Our Dynamic Desktop Deployment Alliance Partners extend this framework with industry-leading complementary technologies."

Industry-leading companies lent their support for the launch of the Dynamic Desktop Deployment Alliance Program:

-- Computer Lab International (CLI) -- DataCore -- Expand Networks -- McAfee, Inc. -- Reflex Security -- Stampede Technologies -- Vizioncore

Ready to market today, the Provision Networks Virtual Access Suite is the only commercially available end-to-end VDI solution and encompasses:

* Virtual Access Broker: Highly scalable service responsible for VM pool management, status monitoring, fault management, policy enforcement, and client connectivity arbitration -- fully integrated with VMware VirtualCenter. * Enhanced End-User Experience and Last-Mile Features: Full-desktop and application publishing, seamless windows, up to 4096X2048 screen resolutions, multi-monitor support, single sign-on, smartcard authentication, USB handheld redirection, user profile management, session configuration and lockdown, and a universal print driver. * Access Infrastructure: Sophisticated access portal including the Web interface and SSL gateway, enabling any PC or thin client to securely connect and access a VAS-enabled Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. * End Point Computing: On-demand access to VDI-based published desktops and applications using a Web browser or the AppPortal client, including the AppPortal desktop-integrated mode in which application shortcuts are automatically propagated to the user's local desktop.
