Greetings from VMworld in Las Vegas, where earlier today we announced something we’ve been having a really hard time keeping a secret: NxTop. Since we just announced it today, you might not know what NxTop is. Quite simply: NxTop makes it easy to manage thousands of PCs (either laptops or desktops) just as you would manage one – without agents and without compromising the end user experience in any way.
How do we do this? We’re combining a bare-metal PC virtualization platform with a powerful management console for IT admins (with a nice web interface!) – which means that PC management just got a whole lot easier and more secure.
We’ve shared our plans for NxTop with real world IT administrators and industry analysts and they’re letting us know this is what they need:
“NxTop is the first desktop virtualization product I have seen that delivers extensive manageability and rigorous security benefits while respecting the individual business needs of mobile users,” said John Christly, manager of Information Technology Security and HIPAA security officer for Memorial Healthcare System of Miramar, Florida. “My department is managing a large number of laptops and as a healthcare organization, security of these laptops and the data on each of them is a top priority. In the past few years, we’ve read of too many companies that have experienced data loss or security breaches. We are always seeking new and innovative methods of system and data security. Therefore, I welcome a product like NxTop, which will fill a market need that has been unmet for quite some time.”
For more information, check out our website, which we just relaunched today with full product information and use cases.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think of NxTop or, if you’re at VMworld, stop by our booth for a demo (we’re in booth #562). I’m eager to hear what you have to say.
