Security and systems management giant
Symantec has beefed up its
virtualisation offerings with new technologies it plans to acquire with the
purchase of virtual workspace management firm
nSuite.
The proposed acquisition, slated to be completed by the end of the month,
will give Symantec presentation virtualisation technology, which enables staff
to use applications running on remote servers as if they were running locally.
Symantec will also gain nSuite's expertise in connection broker technology,
which allocates resources such as user profiles and applications to the
endpoint, whether virtual or traditional.
NSuite's heritage has been in selling its products to hospitals. There,
medical staff are able to take advantage of the technology which can virtualise
their data and applications, port them to which ever desktop they happen to be
working on at the time, and remove them from the desktop once they move on.
“The real promise of endpoint virtualisation is improving the end-user
experience while helping to lower the cost of managing endpoint devices,” said
Ken Berryman, vice president of endpoint virtualisation at Symantec. “Symantec’s
strategy is to help enable a truly dynamic endpoint where applications and
information are delivered to any computing environment in a seamless manner."
