Provision Networks Launches the Dynamic Desktop Deployment Alliance Program

D3 Alliance Program Builds Upon the Foundation of the VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

November 7, 2006 – Los Angeles, CA -- Provision Networks (VMworld 2006 booth #612), a global provider of application delivery and dynamic desktop deployment solutions for the VMware Virtual Infrastructure and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows Terminal Server platform, today at VMworld 2006, launched the Dynamic Desktop Deployment Alliance Program, a powerful and comprehensive ecosystem of industry-leading partners collaborating to deliver the first-ever true end-to-end enterprise virtual desktop infrastructure powered by the Provision Networks Virtual Access Suite.

With VMware’s VDI at the core, the D3 Alliance led by Provision Networks will deliver improved manageability, flexibility, resiliency, security, transparency, agility and portability, transforming the desktop computer and its applications into on-demand virtual services, personalized and optimized for the individual or task performed.

Dynamic Desktops are Deployed, not simply delivered, thus lowering the overall total cost of ownership, improving security and productivity. Deployment of dynamic desktops encompasses configuration, management, personalization, optimization, provisioning, and delivery from a central data center, to be accessed securely from any device.

“VMware led the way with its vision for the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. We are leveraging that solid foundation with the Virtual Access Suite to deliver a solution transforming the hosted desktop into enterprise reality.” said Paul Ghostine, Co-Founder and CEO of Provision Networks. “Our Dynamic Desktop Deployment Alliance Partners extend this framework with industry-leading complementary technologies.”
