| Alchemy Systems Launches its Virtual Open Desktop Solution Alchemy Systems has launched its Virtual Open Desktop solution designed to solve the computing needs of small and medium sized businesses for £9.99 (+VAT) a month, including an IGEL Universal Desktop. Virtual Open Desktop delivers a complete business productivity solution based on Open Office, a multitude of email clients (eg Zimbra and Thunderbird) and the FireFox web browser. Everything is hosted and secured centrally by Alchemy Systems and accessed by the customer via the Internet using the software as a service model (SaaS). Data is protected and kept private by Alchemy Systems with each customer having access to a separate virtual machine and all data is backed-up to an off site location. The solution includes an energy efficient IGEL Universal Desktop, so that customer hardware is kept efficient, simple, robust and easy to support remotely. Customers can work with Microsoft documents due to the excellent document format support from Open Office. In fact, the default document format for read and write can be set to Microsoft. Customers wanting to have additional corporate applications such as SAP, Sage, Netsuite or Salesforce.com can access them using the included Firefox web browser. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
