| NEC to Provide Telefonica with Cloud Computing Technology NEC Corporation announced that it will provide Telefonica with cloud computing technology to enable its business customers to access a virtualised remote desktop and office suite applications via any device, from smartphones to PCs. Telefonica will deploy the cloud computing technology, NEC's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution, as part of its extended strategic partnership with NEC to build and manage cloud computing services for large and small- to medium-sized businesses in Spain. NEC's virtual desktop solution enables Telefonica to offer their business customers a virtual PC service that provides a series of benefits. These benefits include desktop access everywhere and anytime; cost-effective, reliable and easy access to the latest business applications instead of diverting valuable resources to the research, purchase, installation and management of software on desktops and laptops; cost savings against the management and maintenance associated with standard desktops and laptops; security against hardware theft or damage since all data is saved on a server. The move follows Telefonica and NEC's cloud computing partnership to deploy SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions in Spain, branded Telefonica "Aplicateca" to SMEs and large enterprises as well as SaaS, VDI solutions and applications in Latin America. Thousands of new users have taken up the Aplicateca service every month since its launch in 2009. NEC and Telefonica will conduct a joint feasibility study examining IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and the potential market opportunities in Spain for Telefonica. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
