“With the news of VMware’s acquisition of Desktone today, many MSPs are rightfully concerned about their DaaS offerings, including potential price increases that impact margins; integration challenges that are consistent with VMware; and an overall lack of focus on DaaS now that Desktone is being absorbed into the network virtualization giant,” said Jon Senger, chief strategy officer at Virtual Bridges. “We invite all MSPs that are interested in exploring other options to contact us today for a free evaluation of VERDE 7. We’re confident we can offer the most robust features while allowing MSPs to get the ROI they desire.”…

As a single integrated stack, Virtual Bridges is the most affordable and efficient solution on the market today. VERDE 7 includes new features that allow MSPs to easily deploy, configure and manage the entire end-user computing experience without sacrificing security or user satisfaction. Key additions include:

• Roles-Based Access Controls – fine-tuned granularity allows administrators to restrict access, separate roles within an organization and report, meter and chargeback.
• Network Controls – highly configurable bandwidth controls support quality of service (QoS), giving IT managers the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users or data flows; ensures the quality and security of the user experience, while addressing the “noisy neighbor” syndrome where a single user consumes a majority of available bandwidth, negatively impacting others.
• Multi-Tenancy – provides dedicated desktops, while leveraging shared storage and hardware; ideal for service providers and large organizations that want to separate departments, divisions or hosted customers while complying with Microsoft VDA licensing terms.
• Linux Dual Monitor – supports simultaneous use of two monitors displaying as a single desktop, addressing studies that have shown the use of more than one monitor can increase productivity by up to 40-50 percent.
• Broad Coverage of Client Devices – supports mobile devices including iOS and Android, in addition to Windows XP, 7 and 8; Mac OS X; Linux OS and thin clients.
