Provision Networks Unveils Project TITAN at
VMworld2005
October 20, 2005 – Las Vegas, Nevada. Provision Networks, the global
provider of virtualized access infrastructure solutions for the Microsoft
(NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows Terminal Server platform, unveiled this week at VMworld
2005 an early release of Project Titan, its much anticipated framework for
provisioning Windows XP desktops and published applications using Microsoft's
Remote Desktop Services.
Project Titan is the codename for Provision Networks’ upcoming technology which
is designed to transform corporate Windows XP desktop computers into
single-user "terminal servers" by leveraging Provision Networks' core PMF
components, including application publishing, seamless windows, session
sharing, universal printing, USB-based device support, hybrid user profile
management, desktop management, access control, Web interface, and SSL gateway.
Project Titan delivers the full-featured Windows XP experience to enterprise
and
mobile users and is touted as an enterprise alternative to subscription-based
remote desktop access solutions. In conjunction with Project Titan, the
company's flagship Provision Management Framework, Enterprise Edition, will
provide unified access to applications hosted on both Windows Terminal Servers
and Windows XP desktop computers using Microsoft's RDP protocol and a common
set of core technologies developed by Provision Networks.
Provision Networks also demonstrated a version of Project Titan whereby the
VMware ESX Server platform is leveraged for hosting and managing virtual
Windows XP workstations for the purpose of delivering the same core features
mentioned above.
Project Titan works as follows: using the Provision-IT AppPortal client or the
Internet Explorer web browser, users gain secure, authenticated access to their
corporate applications running on their office computers or virtual Windows XP
guest machines hosted on VMware ESX servers. Depending on their individual
preferences, users are able to receive either a full desktop experience or
individual applications displayed seamlessly on their local workstations.
Slated for final release in the first quarter of 2006, Provision Networks will
also be simultaneously releasing a Java-based implementation of the Terminal
Services client.
When released in early 2006, Project Titan will be available as an integrated
module within the Provision Management Framework, Enterprise Edition or as a
standalone secure desktop access solution enabling employees to instantly and
securely “remote into” their XP desktops and use their corporate email, other
applications, intranet, local and network files and all other corporate
resources.
