IBM to become another Desktone-powered VDI provider

Launched in April, the US startup Desktone already achieved some pretty amazing results: in just three months it closed agreements to power leading OEMs like HP and telco giants like Verizon which want to become VDI providers.

The series of successes may continue with the arrival of IBM.

Last week in fact the company announced a deal to deliver Desktone-powered VDI solution to Pike County Schools for 5 years.

The served environment is pretty remarkable, 1,400 PCs, and may act as pilot before IBM signs a definitive business agreement with Desktone to become the third hosted VDI provider in the market.
