ClearCube is usually identified as a vendor offering a locked-in VDI solution, only working with company hardware. But this release introduces a major change of direction.
The new Sentral 5.6, ClearCube’s connection broker, features a vendor-agnostic approach, supporting VMware and Microsoft virtualization platforms (including the upcoming Hyper-V), as well as Xen.
This critical feature and puts ClearCube in the crowded space of VDI vendors, along with VMware, Quest (through Provision Networks acquisition), Leostream, Ericom, the just entered Sun and Qumranet, and soon even Citrix.
Both the virtualization.info Virtualization Industry Radar and the Virtualization Industry Roadmap have been updated accordingly.
